I have decided on this aero kit (zeemax) with the 18" x 7.5 4-100 HRE 890r rims...inside spokes black satin and silver brushed aluminum lip..
it will match my carbon fibre hood scoop and other carbon accents..
appreciate all your recent comments...negative or positive

HRE's are pretty wheels, not for track use.
I like them, have had a set. They look great.
Wheels and Wheel Hardware are maintainance items. If not inspected often and replaced before issues develop then they are subject to failure. The track finds stresses and problems long before the street.

I'm not planning on racing my "carbon", just a weekend car.

along with the fact that they are incredibly expensive for a heavy and weak wheel, some models also suffer from rainwater collecting inside the barrel and throwing the wheel off balance. For almost $6,000 you get bragging rights(on the amount you spent) and a decent-to-good looking wheel.
I'm not trying to say anything against the owners of these wheels but it just doesn't add up! There are tons of wheels that are stronger, lighter and better looking for the same or considerably less money.
I can't give any references on the water fact because of my work firewall(amazingly in my favor NAM isn't blocked
