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

Bump for a nice set of wheels! Definitely adds to the look of the car!

Might bring more interest if these clear ceramic brakes?

Did you buy them from Rob out in Cali? If so, they are perfect!!! More pics...



In retrospect, I should have kept them and thrown em in my attic. Currently looking to pick up a C6Z.... Would love to have em..

I haven't but can if you are interested.

The other set I have for sale feels a tad (barely) lighter to the touch -

HRE c21 wheels powdercoated black about 500 miles ago.
18x10 - ~21.3 lbs
19x12.5 - ~23.7 LBS
Nitto Nt05 front 285/35/18 - 90% tread life
Nitto Nt05r rear 345/30/19 - 85% tread life
Black Gorilla lug nuts.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I can assure you that you have good taste in wheels. I've been on the fence on selling my wheels as well. I'd be interested to see where you end up if you don't mind sharing once they sell.

As he stated, these wheels are LIGHT! You can really tell the difference in rotating mass with braking and acceleration from a dig.
