New Wheels - Pictures
My first mods were a set of Monoblock S reps from FrankW, illuminated door sills and flat hood badge from Jerry at formymercedes.com. Next on the list are some bi-xenons and coilovers. Positive comments are welcome. Keep up the great posts!

HRE performance Wheels! Great looking wheels
I saw a white 2003-06 E class in Sunrise, Florida last night, i was eating at 'smokey bones' and i saw this car, it looked lowered, and had these wheels on it
It looked GREAT!!!!!!!! If you are on these boards, i really liked your wheels.
On another note, does anyone know anything about HRE Performance wheels?
i went to their website, and they have some very nice styles.
Does anyone own or know of any 'HRE' expierences?? i would like to know, and also, i would like some good brand names of rims, that are quality that you all know about, and that look good on a silver c class
thanks

does this help?
I love the look.. it's just sometimes when it rains water gets collected in the "barrel' as some refer to the inner part of the rim and sometimes causes the car to vibrate. This goes for all 3 pc wheels not just HREs.
here's another pic

I wondered how they would looked on a C...I wanted those as well. Now after seeing them, "the jury is still out" for me. BUT, but perhaps after you lower, I'll prolly sing a different tune.

When I first saw those Brabus S style rims that Frank was selling, I had no clue they were replicas. I think these are the best looking replicas on the market.
Looks good. Which coilovers are you going with? Good luck with the future projects.

It's amazing how much better rims look when the car's been dropped.

the flat emblem sits above the hood, larger than the original hole. the flat emblem from jerry (formymercedes.com) comes with a Schatz emblem holder and the OEM flat badge (part number# A 638 817 01 16). You just tighten the nut from under the hood until the emblem sits straight and flush over the hood.

You get what you pay for. HRE's are pretty much the top of the line wheels unless ofcourse you go custom. HRE's are custom made though to fit your car actually. I don't think anyone has ever been unsatisfied with HRE. I hope one day I'll be able to afford some too
