Default Name that wheel!
Hoping someone could point out what wheels these are, at first I thought they were Menzari Inferno's but they don't have the layered machined lip. Thanks!

I haven't the foggiest idea which kind they are, but they are very nice!

They came on the SLP Montes, I think they made 3 of them. They're HRE Performance Wheels.

Member Mac7504 is an owner of one.

Ah, nice call! Totally HRE, I can see the logo in that link you posted. That's a bummer because they're pretty awesome, I've found many that look a like but just not as cool. Thanks a lot, Mike.

Check out this thread in the Off Topic section...

LINK---> https://montecarloforum.com/forum/of...-ss-slp-17013/


Info on the wheels from the Super Chevy article on the 2003 Rytek Projektz Monte Carlo...

Showing off those big four-wheel disk brakes is an awesome set of HRE 540 Series blacked-out center 20-inch wheels wrapped in Toyo Proxes 245/35 rubber.

Can't believe they even let that car be photographed for a Super Chevy article. Did you see how filthy the wheels were. And the engine bay was not even very clean. Yuck...

I've always thought the same thing. Great looking car from a distance, but the up close shots...

I love the work they've done to it, but a car should be spotless for a Super Chevy article, just my opinion.

Whoever was the photographer was lazy, you always bring water and rags on shoots with you, and he could easily touch that photo up post-processing.
