Check out my new HRE wheels for my 68 Camaro!

So after 6 weeks of waiting, my HRE wheels came yesterday. I did a stake out in front of my door for about 3 hours, waiting for the UPS truck to come, and constantly checking the peep hole at any sign of noise. Then at close to 5:50 the guy shows.
The wheels are HRE 542R with charcoal painted centers, and color HRE logo center caps.


The look great don't they?

Here is a head on view of the face of the wheel:


and here is the difference in width between the front and rear:


The rear wheel reminds me of a pony keg. It is huge!!

Can anyone guess the sizes, and widths?

You can see pics of the 68 they are going onto at my website, http://www.t56kit.com

Re: Check out my new HRE wheels for my 68 Camaro!

Thanks for the kind words.
I remember the first time I saw the 542's. I decided that my car had to have them, no exceptions. I almost went with chrome, but I decided to be a bit different with the gray centers.
I can't wait until my car gets to this point:
