Cody at Whitehead Motorsports has brushed HRE's on his Launch Edition, but I don't think he's posted the photos on here.

That has to be lowered, no doubt about it. It has an interesting look to it. I'm not always sold on color matched wheels, hence the 'interesting' while I think about it. I bet those weigh a LOT more than the Track Pack rims that were on it though.

The red Viper belongs to Ben of Wheels Boutique. It is lowered on Eibach Gen 3/4 lowering springs.

Cody is currently lowering his LE car, looks funny at stock height with the HRE wheels on it.

There are many OEM very nice wheel options to pick from that are already perfectly matched to the Gen 5 that I cannot see doing anything different. Previous models are a different story with limited selections.

Yeah, I'm not feeling these. They look like something you'd get at pep-boys where the 3rd one is free. I really love the sidewider II in hyperblack. Some of the nicest wheels I've seen on any car, stock or aftermarket, period...so they'll be hard to improve upon.

Stance is great looking, but the frame has to be almost on the ground and the stock shocks have to be stressed at that height. This may work on the SRT, but the GTS suspension/stability programming will likely have a problem according to the dynamics engineers so let us know how that LE turns out.

Ditch the wheel lipstick and take it down to 19/20s and you'll be great. I honestly still prefer 18/19s for a performance car. I'm not into the rapper/hotwheels look.
