HRE on GT-S

I've looked at a lot of nice wheel options but have decided to stick with HRE for my GTS. Their quality and service is top shelve. I've narrowed down between the P44SC (1st photo) and the P47SC (2nd photo). Both are their new monoblok cronical design. The Maserati has a nice rear offset so it will have a deep concave. I'm probably going with a 21x9F 255/30/21 and 21x11R 305/30/21. Even considering a 21x13R 355/25/21.


Would like to hear your opinion on what wheel design you like best and what color you think looks best on a black car? Not limited to the colors shown. I will also be lowering the car with FD springs.

12.5" seems to be the perfect fitment for a 355/25/21 in the rear. Still trying to decide if I am going to go this route vs. the 21x11 with a 305/30/21. Sure looks nice with the wide footprint is the rear.

Are you leaning this way for yourself or recommending for me? Where did you get the wheel size and offset stats for this setup? Do you like the 20/21" staggered setup verses 21" F&R? The car needs to be lowered just right to look good.

Both.

I have a GTC-S inbound.

I'm going to see how the stock setup works and/or if some spacers from Formula Dynamics will suffice. If not, this ^^ setup is making my short list.

I don't think 21" wheels in the front are optimal re handling.

I agree re a slight drop. I would not personally drop this car more than 1" on either end due to practical and aesthetic reasons. FD (no affiliation) also has springs that aren't too pricey.

HRE provided the sizes and offsets for the wheels shown above.

P44SC
I wouldn't go so wide on the back. The extra weight is just not worth it to me. I also like the 20 front 21 inch rear setup for performance as well. I am one who will lean towards performance before looks so you can take what I say with a grain of salt as well. Its your car and your choice and either way it will be beautiful. Just be sure to post pics when you have decided.
