Maybe it'll fit, but you're gonna have serious problems with your car.

I was guaranteed it would fit as the owner of the shop has 19x10 Lorinsers on his C320. I will find out offsets tomorrow and the EXACT lip, crossing fingers for four inch rear.... Hopefully my car will stand out now...

Get the reverse lip. The standard lip is like a hot girl with a flat chest.

If you can't decide on a style, get a style on each side. HRE has too many PIMPING wheel designs.

As for the finish, the polished finished with clearcoat is top notch. I am not a fan of the brushed aluminum, mainly because i'm comparing to the alloy finish of Brabus wheels, which are IMMACULATE. Alot of the BMW folks are getting their wheels painted to match their car's paint.

After going to the auto show in Beverly Hills and seeing HRE's on Ferraris and Porches, I think I'm falling in love with them too.

Damn! They called me yesterday and told me they could probably "only" get a 1.5 lip in front and 2.5 in rear. They are going to "try" and figure out something soon though. If they can't get a bigger lip I might as well just go for 9.5, huh? Or maybe different type of rim? Any input is appreciated!

I dont understand why the lip would be that small... is that a limitation of the reverse lip vs. a normal multipiece?

Something about the center face not curving in like the Lowenhart/Maya's. There gonna TRY and find out what offset would be ok to create a big lip. I kinda have grown fond to lips, so a 2.5 would be kinda weird. But it would make the rim look HUGE.

That's weird. They should be able to do at least a 3" lip in the rear.

hmmm... if thats the case... go with the 9.5 but with a higher negative offset... that should give ya a lil more lip with out having rubbing issues...
