Fake HREs? Anyone know this car?
This is another C63 I'm looking at purchasing.
Does anyone have any info on these wheels? They are similar to an HRE R43 but that's not what they are.
Any info on this particular car for that matter?
Thanks

Wow, cars are so cheap there.
Looks good. Not a fan of the tail lights.
I like those wheels alot. They look very nice.
There is a GoPro mount on the rear tail light (Drivers Side)

It's not a PP. Can tell by the steering wheel. I saw the GoPro mount too. Doesn't really scare me. I drive my cars pretty hard anyway and I'm getting a warranty.
It has a Renntech air box, and supposedly HRE wheels, but I can't find that exact wheel anywhere. It looks similar to a R43 but it's not. And as far as I know the R43 only comes in 18".
If they are knock offs then that's fine, but I'm not paying premium price for the car when it's not a PP and those aren't HREs.
Also I'd like to know if I could ever replace a wheel if needed.

Thanks for the info guys.
I passed on it. They wouldn't budge on the price and it was too sketchy.
Looking at this one now.

I have searched for a week straight trying to find this wheel. As best as I can tell and as far as I've been told, they are not HREs.
These wheels have 13 spokes not 11 like the 43s.
Hre has a 13 spoke wheel but it's a beadlock.
