Hey Guys,

I am keen on a set of wheels for my 2013 Estates but am quite torn on options at hand. Would you keep the OEM wheels? I'm just dead set keen on a set of HREs in 19 x 8.5 / 19 x 10 but can't decide on the wheel!

Order preference in order:

1. C99S
2. 563R
3. 593RS

I quite love the OEM wheels too but i dunno, maybe i am getting a lil silly as i am keen on painting them dark grey / black.

593RS for sure!

Roswell

Totally agree with you Karl!! The 593RS are sick.

But if I were you, I would stick with their monoblock forged line-up. They will be stronger, lighter & look bigger.

Have you considered the P40SC's? They're the hot HRE wheel now with the concave face, but they're aruond $2,000/wheel MSRP!!!

Hi buddy, yea they're beautiful wheels and were on my list for my E92 M3. Unfortunately the stock wheels grew on me or perhaps i left them too long. Anyways i've found a winner based on pricing and quality parity too IMO.

Bought the BBS CH Black Edition today and should receive them via courier by end of next week

Advance apologies for posting up a pic of an M3 on the forum.

No doubt i'll save heaps on the weight with the monoblocks. Even as their appointed dealer here HRE just can't seem to out do the offer from my principal BBS Germany.

So i suppose i have ended up with one of my other sought after wheel too of which are the BBS CH Black Edition.

• 19 x 8 (Front)
• 19 x 9.5 (rear)

USD3300 (inclusive of international shipping via DHL to Brunei and landed costs)

Nice car! Reminds me of my own...

Don't go with BBS CH-R...

Mischievous M

Hey buddy... whats up? Bad experience with the BBS CH-R? I'm also looking at the VATH wheels but i think they're a little over priced

Roswell

Matt is being sarcastic & jealous again.. LOL

BBS is definitely the best bang for the bucks!! I almost pulled the trigger on those before buying my HRE, but the offset of 19x9.5 +45mm was too aggressive for my taste.

What are the specs you ordered?

Mischievous M

Hi Roswell, thanks for the clarity. I'm running ET 40 up front and ET 45 in the rear for a flushed look to not require any spacers

Either ways I'm envying both you and Matt with them HRE shoes on your vehicle... Looks like wheels may be in by this Saturday ex Germany or Tues next week at very latest.

Are you running stock tyres?

Roswell

U will be flushed for sure with +45mm rear. What size tires will u be using? Oem?

I'm running 275/30/19 on my HRE (19x9.5 +50mm) & I barely clear on H&R springs. U should be ok w/o lowering.

Mischievous M

Yup I'm definitely gonna milk what I can from my existing tires because I've only done 1300miles since I received my car 3weeks ago. I would love to lower the vehicle but unfortunately our roads here are a little disgraceful in certain areas.

Ooooh, mind sharing a couple of pics of your c63s stance? I'm pretty sure it look the business with hem hre wheels. What springs are you running?

BenzoBoi

I like the 593RS's but if you want performance with the wheels, I'd go for the C99S.

daddyo

What's the difference from a performance point?

.

Mischievous M

Yea man, i'm with daddy on the difference in performance between the C995 vs 593RS. I doubt that there is much in it just because of the classification of competition series... no pun intended man.

as far as i can tell they're pretty much the same product made with same raw materials minus the difference in assembly bolt grade one being stainless steel vs titanium. I doubt a couple of grams will make a difference but then again i could be wrong.

If you're keeping your OEM tire (255/30/19), then you can lower the car no problem. It will be stretched though. You will run into rubbing issue with 275/30/19 lowered. If you have no plans on lowering, the sky is the limit.

I'm dropped on H&R springs, but I'm using the thicker spring pads in the rear to raise it a bit & make the drop even with the front.

Here are few links to my car pics:

As posted in your thread bro, that's a super sweet setup you have. I can only imagine how out of control I'd be if I had moved to the US / Canada instead of returning to Brunei.

Despite the overpricing of vehicles I can't complain too much... I'm keen to see what future progression / upgrade plans you have in store.

olszowa12

Actually I was serious this time.

I don't like the monoblock series of BBS. And the CH-R looks very "stock" on a C63.
If any BBS, then LMs.

I'd go for the HRE 593 if I were You but they will cost double what the BBS cost.
Also I would prefer a step lip over a reverse lip

Mischievous M

God damn it bro... Why did my estate mentor pitch in sooo late. Haha! It's all good bro, I'm yet to see these black BBS CH-R on and if it's not my cup of tea I've got someone ready to steal em for her E63 estate though I'm not sure if the offset will accommodate.

Yea no doubt I was keen on the LMs too but I figured for the price I may as well jump on the HRE 593RS.

What hre are you runnin bro? They look pretty dope and flushed beyond imagination. Also would you happen to know of there is a fitting issue between estate and coupe diffusers?

Hear from you soon

I'm on travel atm so my internet connection is limited.

I have HRE P41 which came from a friend's W221 S600.
They are quite aggressive on a C63 and I never thought they would look this good on my car.

8,5x19 ET43 225/35/19 +15mm spacer
9,5x19 ET43 245/30/19

I can't go wider in the back or else I will be rubbing the fenders.
If I bought new wheels now, they would definitely be 3-piece HREs.

BBS LMs are amazing wheels but they are so common it makes them not worth the money. You see them on thousands of VWs, old bimmers etc.

Roswell

Mischievous, thx for the compliments. I'm done with this modding addiction, it's too much money spent already. LOL

Don't listen to Matt, your car will look sick with the Black Edition BBS!! LOL

Matt, your car is perfect as is. Don't even think about going 3pcs... trust me, monoblocks are a lot less headache & maintenance. You don't want to deal with seal leak problem all the time.

Girard@ACGautomotive

Go with P99S if weight is a priority. The P99S is also the newest design from HRE so you won't see another car with those wheels on. Go with 563R if the price is of concern as it's the least expensive wheel in the HRE lineup. The 590RS is a nice and that's about it. It is a good street wheel. See the link for pricing and images:

Didn't notice this question before.
The estate has a completely different diffuser which has shorter fins and integrated parking sensors.

I would like to update my car with a 2012 rear bumper but only if I can get a CF diffuser for it. Haven't seen one on the market yet.

PM sent!

Mischievous M

Corey what's this pm you're sending out? CF rear diffuser ?
