After a lot of deliberation, I ended up going with the same HREs I had on my last TT - 19" 542Rs with brushed centers, 4" rear lip, 2" front lip. Matt @ Meridian took good care of me as usual! HRE had this set already built so I didn't have to wait the usual 3-4 weeks. He even overnighted them to me - I just couldn't wait! This time I added the polished center caps and chrome bolts (from Ralph Boothe). They make a huge difference (Gary, are you listening?). Even though the wheels are brushed, the polished center caps look great with the polished lips. Plus, they are a real work of art! Here are some pics on the car:

that was fast!!
very nice rims!

 

Looks great Eric, what size are you running in the rear?

 

Looks great, what kind of tires are you using?

 

Thanks Guys.

Duane - 11" rears with 295s

Nice wheels but one problem:
They're on backwards!!!

 

Mansour thanks. Actually, that's the way I like them with the "blades" forward.

 

Great Choice Eric!!! Thats officially the nicest TT cab I've ever seen!!!
Mansour didn't you know that it goes faster when the blades are forward I like that look better.. good decision Eric!

 

Is there any long term downsides of using the 295/30-19 rear on the TT? I have been using the 295/30-19 rear for about 3 months and then I went back to 18's. I've got the 315/25-19 coming next week...

I know this has been debated for a while, but I never really saw a clear-cut answer...

 

Eric the car looks the *****... Awesome work one of these days I will have to head north and check her out..

 

Lookin good Eric.

 

Sweet!!

 

Its not so much for looks - I like Eric's look better too (if I wanna rotate I need new tires now!!) but when I got my wheels from HRE they were marked the way I put them on...I even called and they said the blades should be back!!

 

lookin HOT!
