I think any of the wheels in the Comp series would look great on an R32.

The R34 from 2F2F has HRE wheels IIRC. There's one example.

I never knew "h" was a vowel

It has to do with pronunciation of HRE. If you pronounce it as an acronym, like H-R-E, you'd read it at "aitch-ar-ee". Since the verbal pronunciation of H starts with an a (aitch) you use AN.

If that makes sense. If you were to pronounce HRE as a single word, you'd use "a".

But OT, Volk all the way for skylines

either way you want to try and explain it "an" is wrong

[C-unit]

shxt..i click the wrong buttom..no i don't rock not and no thanks.

[tokes]

Nope. After seeing some of the horror stories from Viper/Corvette owners who track their cars I'd sooner run some other higher quality forged wheels like Kinesis, or CCW.



Those in their regular matte black finish would look awesome.

No it's not, he is correct:

The rule states that “a” should be used before words that begin with consonants (e.g., b, c ,d) while “an” should be used before words that begin with vowels (e.g., a,e,i). Notice, however, that the usage is determined by the pronunciation and not by the spelling, as many people wrongly assume.

You should say, therefore, “an hour” (because hour begins with a vowel sound) and “a history” (because history begins with a consonant sound).

Similarly you should say “a union” even if union begins with a “u.” That is because the pronunciation begins with “yu”, which is a consonant sound.
Abbreviations

Deciding which version you should use with abbreviations is the tricky part. First of all you need to understand if the abbreviation is pronounced as a single word or letter by letter.

While we say “a light-water reactor,” the abbreviation is “an LWR.”

Similarly, you should use “an NBC reporter” (because “NBC” is pronounced “enbisi”) and “a NATO authority” (because “NATO” begins with a “ne” sound).

HRE begins with an "eh" sound so it should be written as "an HRE".

Hope that clears things up, now back on track.

Did you teach english in japan at one point?

[zrex]

While english class has been fun, didn't this have something to do with wheels?

[Daryl @ RightDrive]

Yes I did teach when I first came here, still help out at my friend's school once in a while.

Yes, let's get back on track, too many times these thread go off topic due to silly posts.
