I have HRE 545Rs and they are pretty heavy. I don't race on them, so I don't worry about the extra weight on the street. I think the size has something to do with the weight...

Based on what I've read here, the HRE Comps are fairly light... but everyone is now questioning their strength because of the motorsports failures.

With the right size tires, it will look perfect. I've always liked those wheels, probably because of the rarity.

I'm running stock Viper SRT-10 sizes, 345/30 19 rear Michelin Pilot Sports. I don't really like them, so I'm going to try Pirellis 355/25 19. It's a shorter tire, but closer to my stock height tires.
This is on a C5 Corvette, not a Benz. My SL is stock and I won't have my E55 for another 1.5 weeks.

Only in three gears. Jesus.
And I don't think the HRE Competitions have been banned anywhere yet, that was the sole purpose of creating them. To have a lineup dedicated for motorsports.
If I'm wrong though, please show me where. I was already wrong with the engine advancement stuff!
Damn man, it's still hitting me. 13" wide.

apdesign, To mine surprised, the black out cover only cost me $60 (retail $70). It fit perfectly onto the curve of mine 2001 Cl bumper excepted for the little end but you really can't tell the difference.
