HRE rims in HK

Hi guys, i am new to the forum...

Recently i have put in an order for a 2010 c63 black on black in Hong Kong. One of the first upgrades i wanted to do was put on some HRE rims.

So been searching around the net, and prices seems to range around $1400 USD for a rim. The other day i was looking through a HK car mag and came arcoss the HRE rim ad for HK so i called them up to ask about the pricing. $40000 HKD for one rim, thats about $5000+ USD for one rim which is outrages.

Wondering if anyone here is from HK and can tell me if i was given a wrong quote or they just mark up the price this much.

By the way.... the wait list is dame long here, i get my car in july hopefully.

Thanks for the help.

ummm....Fastgreek ur rims won't fit Dynasty's car
and it's ridiculously expensive to get HRE or iForged's in HK...if I were you you would just order them online and have them shipped to HK, even that it'll be a lot cheaper or get a set of used ones will be good also!

Hey thanks for the quick replys...

I am probably sticking with my 19inch upgrades from MB... Just wasnt justified to spend $200,000HKD for 4 rims and i still have to buy tires.

hi i am located in HK also
and i am pretty sure your quote is for a SET

if anything, try to look for another HRE dealer here and get another quote..

worst comes to worst have one of our many forum vendors arrange a set to your likings and complete a transaction with international shipping!

Ya... when i heard it was $40000HKD for one rim... i asked her again if it was for one rim or a set of rims.... and she said it was for one... i guess she gave me the wrong info.

Tons of nice cars around here... TST is the place to see nice cars drive by. I have seen a lot of GTRs around. Seen a couple of S63, G55 amg, pretty much packed with expensive european cars. Even the audi sales person i was speaking to drove an SLK 55 amg.

Thanks for the offers guys, but i was plannin to trade in the stock wheels at a store for the HRE rims.

Its a bit late now since my build for the c63 is pretty much locked in, and i payed for the 19in upgrades already.

Should have came on here earlier and asked about the rims. Thanks though.
