HRE wheels

Has anyone gotten HRE wheels? i really want to get the HRE 542R. has anyone seen these on a C sedan?

i am either going to get 19' brabus VI, or HRE 542R's, with Goodyear F1 something something tires, or just get 19' Pirelli's, the same kind I have now.

has anyone here dealt with HRE? where is the best place to order them? and how long do they take to come to me?

are there any performance differences between the brabus and the HRE's? or is it just the looks?

please help in my decision.

Several W203 owners here have HREs, the latest addition is "enri007". Take a look at the pic thread. The biggest difference between Brabus Monoblock VI and HRE is weight. Monoblock VI are very heavy wheels, HRE are forged and much lighter. I will be able to order them for you. You're welcome to send me an e-mail.

i have HRE wheels on my car, unfortunately i got the freak wheel of them all. It was leaking air out. Don't get me wrong, they are very high quality wheels, but mine just happened to be the defect and HRE is going to replace it for free regardless who's fault it was (theirs or the shop where i got 'em mounted). Pics are in my Sig.

There is a few C Class owners w/HRE's, but not as many as Beemer owners I think. I wouldn't go w/the Brabus wheels as they look nice, but are seen all over in replica and real form. I ordered 2 wks ago the new 8 series HRE myself...cant wait 'till they get here! Go to the HRE website to get an idea on how the 542's would look on your car.

i cannot wait to see pics of your car on 841R's, those are my fav style HRE's by far.

if you don't mind...How much did you get your HRE for? and how many percent off did you got off retail?
