So, this is my fourth AMG and from the first one i've been considering HRE's but i always thought they are too expensive. I am still today of the very same opinion, but against better judgement i ordered them anyway, and i'm guessing i will be very happy with my choice. I ordered a set of Mich PSS with them, 245/35 front and 265/30 in the back. The HRE's come with a charcoal satin finish.

Excited! Getting them (hopefully during this month).

I hope they're gonna look good on the estate.

Now that i have them on i'm not actually that certain whether they are better than 19" OEM's or not....too bad. Expensive wheels.

Wow, we have the same personnality.. I also think they are out of my budget, but I decided to go all out cuz they r my dream wheels. Lol

I also hope to be happy with them. What are the specs of ur wheels?

BenzoBoi

Look forward to seeing the end results!

_AMG_

Awesome! Look forward to seeing them mounted on your ride.

Jycke

I'm very much looking forward to it as well. The wait is killing me.

ET43 265/30 19" 9,5" back and ET40 19x8,5" front. According to my measurments they should come out exactly to the fenders.

Roswell

Wow, 19x9.5 +43mm offset with 265/30 tires? That is close to the fenders... are you sure you wont have any issue with rubbing, unless the estate has lower offset than the sedan?

I was recommended 19x9.5 +50mm.

Rob@vividracing

Nice wheels the satin charcoal is one of my favorite will look great on your estate for sure. The wait will be worth it.

_AMG_

+1
19x9.5 +43 is a little too close for comfort.
Might be different for the estates?

Jycke

The dealer said that those were the recommendations from the factory. What offset do you recommend for a 265/30? And i'd appreciate a quick answer

_AMG_

What are your OEM offsets?

Jycke

Oh if i could remember. Stock 19" AMG multispokes.

_AMG_

From my understanding the rear offsets on the OEM 19's are +55 or +54, dont know if its different for the estates. Here is my setup on 19x9 ET +45 in the rear on 265/30/19 Michelin PSS tires and 19x8.5 ET+ 235/35/19 in the front (NOTE: Im also lowered on H&R springs) springs are fully compressed in the pics so you get a good idea how close it is.

Here is the link.

BTW the 265/30/19 Hankook EVO V12's had more space in between the fender since it has a more rounded sidewall.

Roswell

OEM Multispoke 19's are 19x8 +45 front & 19x9 +54 rear. So if the estate has the same offset as the sedan... I would recommend you +50mm for your 19x9.5 rear.

Congrats and great choice on the wheels...HRE is one of my favorites also but out of my budget right now...looking forward to the day I can splurge on set!

Jycke

Hi. Thanks for the early inputs. I checked it with the retailer and they double-checked with hre. Hre had given recommendations for another amg model. Without you guys i would have gotten the wrong wheels, so thank you so much.

Jycke

It's now ET 51 and 41 so quite a change

Roswell

Glad u got it sorted out.. It would suck to ship ur wrong wheels back from Finland to US.. Or deal with the rubbing.

That is what HRE recommended me as well. +41mm front & +50mm rear... U can check my other thread if u want to see what that set-up would look on a C63 w/ 245/35/19f & 275/30/19r.. It looks pretty flush.

Jycke

Got word from the dealer that the wheels should be in the "mail" by may 7th, or hopefully earlier if someone gives up their slot I'll post pics as soon as i have them on.

Jycke

Changed my order yesterday from charcoal satin to flat black. I just got a feeling that the charcoal wouldn't fit as well on the white estate as the flat black. Hope it works

Roswell

I think the charcoal satin would be my choice, but it's just me as I'm not a fan of black wheels. I hope changing your order will not set you back a few weeks in production & delivery date? I still haven't heard any news on my wheel built... it's been 2 weeks now, so I hope it's going to be done soon. Lon @ HRE, can you check on my order pleaseeee...

HRE_Wheels

I'd love to. Please email me more information so I can find the order.

Email me at lonm@hrewheels.com with who your dealer is.

Roswell

Email sent Lon. Thx

Jycke

And a big thank you for making beautiful wheels. Based on your experience, what fits better on a pearl white car? Flat black or charcoal?

HRE_Wheels

Personally, I'd rather not say. Both those colors work well with a white vehicle. It would be a complete toss up.

Here's a sample of a white vehicles.
