HREs are great wheels and this one is a gem. It will look awesome on your car....I'm so jeoulous. I also really like their badge, gives it a very European look. Please post a pic when you get them installed.

Multi Piece AMG 18's can be bought for about $1,000 each. Normally you could re-coupe 50% for a used wheel. With tires in decent condition you may be able to fetch somwhere around $2500.00 at best ? Does this sound about right for those whom have been looking at the multi piece AMGs ?

Adam, $1,000 per sounds very high. when I had my E500 I bought a set of E55 AMG wheels with SO-3's mounted, balanced and shipped to my door for around $2,700 from tirerack.

Those wheels look nice.
Hopefully you are not near New England Area cuz the roads are bad.
Be careful of potholes. and remember to wax them often or the shine will die.

AMIL,
I didn't catch the size you ordered and did ou get a staggered fitment if so how much of one. I was told by the guys at HRE that you could go 235/40 in the rear without much trouble be interested to know if you have gone that extreme or not.
Thanks and congrats on the wheels they are kick A$$!

Congrats Amil and AznxKCBoy, we could be the new 447 club hahaha, anyways, I will post pics later this week. I kinda wish I had gone for gunmetal too or gunmetal center but brushed aluminum face, that would be sweet!

wat color is your car calboy? mine is silver. i got the regular silver finish on the 447rs. couldnt pay the extra for brushed aluminum, too expensive. but i heard silver finish hres look pretty good with the silver mbz, hopefully it does!
