Why are HRE rims so expensive?

Why are HRE rims so expensive?
Anybody know about HRE 543? Will they be good looking on CLK convertible?

I have not seen any CLK with HRE 543.

Between HRE 543 and Brabus V multipiece, which is more worth it? I am having very difficult in getting a new rims. I am getting tired of Lorinser rims again.

How much should I expect to pay for 19" HRE 543 rims (staggard setup) in polished? Anybody know approximate cost?

The HREs are pretty expensive though.

Not sure about the exact price of 543s' but reason they are expensive is because they are 2 or 3 pieces forged (very strong) and custom made to order, unlike other brands.

thank you for showing me the pictures of CLK with HRE 543.

It's not my style however. When I look at the rims itself, they look good, but not with my CLK. It is nice to see the car before I buy. Hew~
