Is it me or do those rims look a tad too small?

18 inchers? booo!

mypantsaretorn

heh..yea..they look like 18s to me too

Sixth Ave

They'd look like real 19s if it was lowered a bit.

SP6NT

you guys must think I am a fool!



they are 19's

19.85 front
19x10 in back


I am insulted yeah, its high because the car hasn't been lowered yet.

LorinserCClass

**** u even got the same specs I have

mr_markski

How long did you have to wait to get those wheels from the time you ordered them? I have the same set coming to me but its going on a 2000 W210. I have the fronts but they messed up the rears so i'm still waiting to put them on.

4 weeks.

mr_markski

It took six weeks to get mine and HRE messed up. i had to send back the rears because they were hitting the brakes. I hope they can get they're **** together. I'm not real happy with them right about now.

AMG BRED

when i got my wheels after 4 weeks from HRE, one of the rears had a faulty seal by pre-mature packing.. had to wait another week till they got it right.

mr_markski

You're lucky. they've had two of my wheels for a least a week now and they can't even give me a timeline. Every now and again I keep thinking whether I should have gone with some IForged. For the money i paid I'ma keep talking **** about HRE until they get it right. Funny how they can be so light about things after they get paid. I paid for these rims when they wanted the money and this is what i get. All i know is I got a bull**** excuse about "once in a while this happens and we'll take care of it in a timely manner" What the hell does that mean? i'm just glad you had better luck. now that i'm looking around i find that more a few people have had problems with HRE. Can't really blame the vendors, HRE--you all supposed to know you your ****!

AMG BRED, been wanting to ask you how does your cupkit ride and perform compare to the oem AMG shock and spring setup?

AMG BRED

i don't have my cupkits anymore.. but when i had 'em.. i loved the ride, it was very similar to the factory ride if not a lil stiffer. But it was too soft for teh drop.

HRE I believe is the best wheel manufactuer around. Of course there are going to be a few problems with wheels once in awhile. No one is perfect, but I believe HRE is the one company near perfect. Wheel specs have to be exact, if your wheel dealer sends just a tiny incorrect specification the whole wheel could be wrong, or if you get the wrong offset or want something different from what your car needs. I have an E46 325, and plenty of people who get the size 19x9.5 have to roll the rear fenders because the wheel well isn't large enough to fit a 19x9.5. People automatically blame the wheel maker for the problem, instead of realizing that they did not do enough investigating for the correct wheel size, offset, etc. I am not saying that because you have a problem that it is your fault, and I am not saying that because you have a problem its HRE's fault. Problems do happen occasionally, and with HRE its rare from all that I've heard and known, so I am just backing HRE up, since I have never had a single problem with my wheels, or heard of anyone having a problem. Just my .02 cents...

P.S. SP6NT-get some damn coilovers already.

mr_markski

Yeah i guess you have a point there but when you pay in full for Wheels from one of the leading manufacturers, and have to wait 6 weeks to get them I would expect that they get it right. Sometimes I think I should have just bought another Rolex for what I paid for theses wheels. Okay, so they're fixing the problem but having to wait another 3+ weeks with no certainty that they'll get to me on time and even fit again doesn't make things easy. Put yourself in my position. How you gonna act? You got a fat balance on your card and two wheels that you can't use. Then what?

Problems like this shouldn't happen. Its not like they're new or anything to the game.

I put my story out there just so other members know what to expect.

I don't like the HRE's painted black like that IMHO, but to each his own. If you like them that's all that matters. For me, I'll stick with my 18" AMG two-piece wheels.

theitalianjob

I like wheels painted in black.... but only on black cars.

I1 ULOOZ

maybe its time for new pictures?

mr_markski

i just got my wheels on but i can't post pic's. How do you do that?

anybody got 19's? Do any of you who do rub on the front right wheel? Mine does, but only on that wheel. I can't find where it hits. Oh by the way i got a 2000 W210. anybody got idea on how to fix it? Its not hitting the fender, well it does a little but not bad, I know its hitting somewhere else? On the plastic in the wheels well?

HREs always look small for some reason.... especially if you dont really lower your car.... but he'll soon fix that problem

NICE RIMS!
