HRE FF01 photoshop coupe

Digs · 09-01-2015, 09:51 AM

After much deliberation, I'm 99% sure I'll go with the FF01 wheels and I thought I'd show you guys some pics that a friend photo shopped for me. My coupe is Carbon Black which actually looks dark blue in bright light but almost black in the shade so black wheels would be too much.

The wheel colors I'm considering are silver, fog (anthracite) and IPA but after seeing these pics I think there is a clear winner, any thoughts/comments?

Dalecan · 09-01-2015, 12:20 PM

Not silver. The bottom pic wins for me with the middle pic next.

XMetal · 09-01-2015, 03:20 PM

This is my 1st choice for wheel as well. Thanks for the chop

Thought I liked silver until I saw these. Now, anthracite would be my choice

Daemonblitz · 09-01-2015, 04:06 PM

anthracite, definitely not silver

Mtxzptlk · 09-01-2015, 10:16 PM

Silver, because it didn't get any love from the first two posters. Lol

Digs · 09-02-2015, 07:44 AM

Share the love eh? Haha nice.
XMetal, glad these pics helped you like they helped me. I thought silver would be nice and clean but the Fog looks much better, so the next question is Fog or Anthracite (Fog seems to be the same color as Anthracite but with a low sheen finish).

My friend who did the photo chopping is a bit of a comedian and did one other pic...

dubsesd · 09-02-2015, 08:53 AM

I have them in black and love them. The anthracite looks nice on black imo

Digs · 09-02-2015, 09:47 AM

You sure do Dubsesd and they look spot on! I've spent a fair amount of time staring at your coupe and really like your fitment with the 15mm spacer in the rear.

Yep anthracite is the go, just trying to decide gloss or low sheen.

Frank851 · 09-02-2015, 09:47 AM

Dubsed:
What are the specs on your wheels and tires, any spacer plates? Tthanks.

dubsesd · 09-02-2015, 04:37 PM

19x8.5 et 30 with 225/35/19 pss and 19x10 et40 with 15mm spacers and 265/30/19 pss

Digs · 09-02-2015, 11:46 PM

Also dubs, you're not using any camber plates or adjustable rear camber arms are you?

Your 225 front tire fits really tight, a 235 would rub badly I think.

Frank851 · 09-03-2015, 09:06 AM

Thanks Dubsesd for the info. Love this setup on your car. I have a TiAg 2007 MC so your car is always giving me ideas for mine.

What tire widths and wheel widths/offsets are you planning on running? I want to run 245F/275R and still trying to research the best offsets for stock suspension and fender.

No plates or excessive camber. Yes it fits tight. No rubbing at all though

Not sure what other offsets HRE offers but I'd be happy to run these specs straight from the HRE website (with the spacer in the rear). Dubsesd is running slightly narrower tires.

dubsesd · 09-03-2015, 11:02 AM

Depends what tire u buy. Michelin pss in a 225 are actually wider than a 235 hankook v12. Shop by specs instead of size

yousefnjr · 09-03-2015, 02:08 PM

I actually think the silver look pretty good, they all look great really... Tough choice!

RONAL TEDDIES FTW!!!

The bronze looks really nice! Would be a tough call between that and anthracite for me, personally.

AmmarYasirA · 09-14-2015, 01:23 AM

Bronze does it for me.... Or maybe it's because of those red calipers.

I don't think you'd be making a bad decision with any one of those choices.

Were can one find specs like that? Never seen it anywhere.

dubsesd · 09-14-2015, 02:14 PM

each tire website has a sizing and specs chart with thread width, overall height and section width

example (click "more" tab)

Thanks Dub, I checked the Swedish Michelin website and it had way less information about the tires.
