[urq] Has anyone ever put HRE 549s on an UrQ?

[Todd Phenneger]

I just googled it to see what that wheel looked like. There is a set FS on Vortex.

I think they are really nice looking.  17's are large for an urq but I think they would look hot.  I had 17x7.5 HRE's on my urq for a while rolling around in the shop and they looked great.  Different 5-spoke wheel though.

Go for it!!!
