You might be able to find used HREs for that, but a new set will likely cost $5-6k.

To be honest I have been trying to hunt one down with no LSD for the past few weeks but all the ones in my area are always ordered with it, with or without the p31. But now that I think about it I just realize the edition 1 doesn't have it. So I guess that is like killing two birds with one stone. Maybe I will try that one out before I place my order

+1, 2, & 3

Get the car that YOU want. Being happy with the car is the main thing, especially living with it for presumably years you want not regrets. Adding aftermarket is easier than getting out of and into another car. You would more than likely want the Quaife QDF9V LSD. If you have got to have an LSD, I prefer this to stock and out performs the stock. Either way, you should enjoy your car and adding the Quaife is a simple install. My 2 cents. We will all await your choice.

the options on that edition 1 are pretty good.. you can still go to europe out of the 'savings' you get, plus it is still a 'loaded' car. LSD or not, in my opinion (don't flame me), you will still enjoy the car.

*I thought P30 have the LSD, red brake calipers, alcantara steering, and all the other good stuff?

Paculdo

and a CPO will get you an additional year from the original warranty ;-)

sha1na_AMG

Well I got a quote and including tires and all it was a little more than your guess. But would you say the HREs are better than the OEM. Or no difference?

CoolBDPhenom03

Try the Edition 1. You should be able to tell right away if a) you like the car and b) whether or not you really want an LSD.

CoolBDPhenom03

HREs are definitely lighter, from what I can tell. I never had stock rims so I can't compare feel for you. Other folks should be able to chime in, or you can contact HRE directly. Those guys are super.

sha1na_AMG

Cool! Thanks so much for your suggestion! You are right though my happiness with my car is the most important at this point. Any idea how much the Quaife LSD will run me? And it's good to know that the install won't be too bad if I do go that route. I already have a whole list of mods I want and I don't even have the car yet. haha. This is not looking to bueno for my parents... or me.

sha1na_AMG

haha yea I think I will enjoy it either way. The c63 is a huge upgrade from my cute little 325, so i honestly can't complain. But yea i probably could still go to europe with the savings I get from the edition 1.

Yea that whole bit about the P30 confused me as well. I thought it was the p31 that doesn't have the LSD but the P30 does. hmm. Hope someone can clarify.

Yea the extra warranty will help at least I don't have to buy that out of pocket

sha1na_AMG

Yea I think I will do that. Especially since it doesn't have the LSD and as you know that has been a ongoing question for me.

If I am going to end up spending 4k on OEM ones and if HREs are a little more than that then I feel like I will end up going for the HREs but I guess we will see how this all plays out

CoolBDPhenom03

$1500?

sha1na_AMG

Plus install right? So it comes out to about the same as the OEM-ish... Hmm.

HRE are not even comparable to the OEM 19's... HRE are forged while the OEM are cast. Forged wheels are much stronger & lighter. Trust me, HRE are expensive but their quality are amazing... which is worth every penny in my book.

If you have facebook, you can view their FB page & you will see tons of exotics cars with them. That proves their repuations.

If you search, many owners have cracked their OEM 19's. I own both the HRE & OEM 19's multispoke... but the OEM are only for winter storage & springtime driving while they patch up the potholes from winter time.

dragonAMG

The HRE's you want are going to run you close to 8k with tires and TPMS.

Roswell is right - no comparison

sha1na_AMG

Hi Roswell! Thanks for your reply. I don't mind paying as long as the quality is to par. And I have seen some of their pics with the exotics sporting HREs and they look very nice. Tastefully done in all honesty.So I guess there is no point in me buying the tire and wheel warranty if I plan on swapping out to the HREs eventually then. I love their P43SC in black that will look super sexy on my soon to be diamond white coupe. The only hurdle left is my parents. I should start a thread on good lines or lines of argument on how to convince parents that it is ok if their daughter wants to start modding her car. I can't be the only girl with this horrible mod bug right?

sha1na_AMG

Hi godleypr! I agree

sha1na_AMG

Yea I was quoted $7500. Higher than I expected, but if it's worth it then oh well I guess i will have to incorporate that into my student loans for medical school so my parents won't know. haha. And plus it's a safety precaution since they won't crack like the OEM ones, right?

biglee73

Here's the link to order the OEM 19" wheels if you're still interested.

sha1na_AMG

Hey biglee73! thanks so much! I will still be checking them out nonetheless. Staying open-minded as much as possible but I kind of feel like I am leaning towards the HREs. But thanks again

Roswell

Can you settled with their P43? I'm sure that will save you a good 2000$. Plus our cars don't have much concavity in the rear... so the SC wont have much convex.

Definitely better buy than the cast oem.. although I still love the look of the multi-spokes.

sha1na_AMG

Oh wow I didn't think it would make that much of a difference price wise. But if it does then I can see the coupe in them

Thanks again for all the helpful tips on the wheels roswell

Roswell

LOL No prob... it does make a difference. I went P40 cuz the P40SC was too rich for my blood. I think they are cheaper 500$ each.

Here is a pic on my white car, I went brushed with tinted clear cuz I'm not a fan of black wheels... but it's all about preference.

sha1na_AMG

Thanks for the visual! It really helps and now that I see the silver rims on yours it just adds to the things I need to ponder in life because I wanted to get black before. The silver rims look really clean on your car

Roswell

Sorry, not silver... it's fancy silver = brushed aluminum with tinted clear FTW. j/k lol
