tell us how you really feel I think they look great, they are polished not chrome I assume? I dont know about how they will look on such a big bodied car but you generally cant go wrong with HRE wheels.

Not bad, although I am not a chrome person. I agree you can't go wrong with HRE. I just bought another brand and in retrospect, should have stayed with HRE.

The wheels look fine. Mesh style wheels are one of the oldest designs but they are still popular....and look good on both luxury and sport cars.

I do have an issue with the size. If these are for a Bentley, 20's are kinda small for a car that big. Bentley's look best with 22. Even 21's would be better than 20.

Too common; too chromish; maybe OK for some cars but not for a Bentley. There are many much better looking wheels out there that would be a better match for your car. There are some gorgeous ones posted by some of our vendors lately - have a look at some of those. Don't mean to be harsh, but you asked for opinions and being disingenuous won't help you at all. Best of luck and let us know what you decide on!

Edit: Sorry, I just realized that you didn't say they were specifically for your Bentley - I just assumed. That said, my opinion remains for any of the cars you have in your sig...

Thanks I appreciate the honesty.. My friends are all idiots and say every wheel looks good.. I guess my search will continue.. And recommendations for other wheels would be appreciated.

Also I know that the stocks are usually 20 or 19 inch.. Will increasing the size to 21 or 22 effect my suspension/ride

No problem...

Take a look at the wheels on this Maser - I think they'd look fantastic on a Bentley too. Regardless, something along these lines would look allot better IMHO...

Also, the larger the wheel the smaller the sidewall of the tire as you really need to keep the overall diameter of the tire the same so your speedo records correctly and so you don't mess up your suspension geometry. With that in mind, the smaller the sidewall the more harsh your ride will be. Going up 1 size from OEM probably won't make that much of a difference, but probably enough to notice it, and it just increases from there. Best of luck and let us know how you make out!

i think they will not look good on a bentley. "They are finished in full chrome"-eww on bentley.

i would rather get a different set. PM me I can connect you up with a friend who can get nice rims at nice price.

This set with hidden bolts in 21 or 22 fit the CGT better imo.

Doesnt belong on a Bentley, a M5 or something would suit them better.

The second set would be nicer.
