Default fs: HRE 540s Wheels - RARE

These are rare HRE wheels, are strong, lightweight, and no longer made. I previously have gotten tons of offers, but refused to sell. Well....who wants em. Probably one of very few in existence in this size. They are in pretty good shape and were bought off a forum member.

HRE 540 wheels in brushed silver with polished lips

c6z sizes (was told it will also fit c5z). I have been told by more people than I can count that these fit better than any wheel/tire setup they have seen on a c6z. the offset is money. These were about $7,500 when new if purchased from HRE, plus the $1,500 tire setup.

18x9.5
19x12.5

Michelin Pilot Super Sport front 285/35/18 - 85% tread life
Michelin Pilot Super Sport rear 345/30/19 - 85% tread life

OEM lug nuts

Located in Jupiter, Florida

$4,200 plus shipping

If there back spaced for a C6Z they will stick out over a 1" on C5's. But can't argue that they look great!

That's the only wheel I've ever seen that would make me want to give up my speedlines, rather have a supercharger though, hahaha. GL with the sale!!

Those are extremily nice. I have adv1's. And if these were c5z non wide body id buy them in a second. I wish they were my fitment. Great wheels. Someone will snag them quickly I'm sure. Good luck with sale.
