Manny beautiful car. I think you should put the Startech Wheels on the car. Also when is Doug Levin supposed to call me about transport.

Bernie, I left a couple messages for Doug to get the exact date for me. I am hoping I know something early today.

Startechs would take the cake hands down...

$$$$, i think they're 10K w/ tires, almost double the Purners, right?

Startech makes some great looking 19'' wheel. Exspensive though.

Have someone make them for your.

OK, I have added the HRE 547 and Startechs (not the best photo,but couldn't find a better angle), so let me know if your choices still stand as they were before:

Manny , the best price I was able to find on the Startechs was with the "Wheel Boutique"..Good news is there just around the Corner from Doug's Shop ;)

Here is there link http://www.wheelsboutique.com/

I think he quoted me $7400 With Rubber.

Cheers

Jeff

That's real close to what some 19 or 20" HRE's would go for. Is that price for the 20" wheels? Do they only come in 20"?

Can anybody comment on the performance of these wheels with tires? I am not all that pleased with the performance of my rubber on the 19" purners -- seems like I slip around a lot more than I did on my 17" stock 5 spoke wheels.

This is what happens when you work 16 hour days and take chances like no other, for 3 years. Now I can relax a bit and .... well.... buy vipers.

I like the Startechs but I like them better with the finish that looks more silverish instead of chrome. I'd take the stickers off the side but no way would I remove that snake head. It looks Great.

I beleive the Startechs are only available in 20's..The replacement rubber will put you in the poor house.
I was quoted over $500 a tire :eek: .

if you can get them for $7400 then I'd go that route...
(as if I could afford them, LOL)

I like them not only for their looks, but also the fact they're rare...

I rarely see vipers, let alone seeing one with 20" blades!

when i went to Tator's in May, there were close to 100 snakes or so. I saw a few with 19's but I don't think anybody had 20"s

Maybe one of you good Photoshop guys can place the Startechs on the car as they would actually look (right dimensions.) I would appreciate it.

So who here has Startechs on their car? How do they handle compared to the stock wheels?

I think I prefer the 5 spoke race design over the bling blingedy of the Star Techs. You gotta own an Escalade to appreciate those... right Jeff? HA!
