Electric Beam Overload - Mercedes G550 4x4² on HRE TR188 by Wheels Boutique





Over 7 feet wide. 7 feet 9 inches tall. Extended Carbon Fiber Fenders. 18” of ground clearance. 8 dampers and 8 springs. Portal axles as standard. 37” tires and 22” wheels. 4.0 Liter Twin-Turbo V8. Electric Beam Paint.

This the Mercedes-Benz G550 4x4². It is loud, and it is unapologetically brash.

Specifically designed and engineered for this 8-lug behemoth, the HRE TR188’s are load rated to withstand all the abuse you throw at it while still being stylish and shedding unsprung weight over the factory wheels. Obviously this PPG color match finish is not for everyone but countless other finishes are available. 20” options are also an option with these completely custom forged HRE gems.

PM us for details, availability, and pricing on HRE Wheels, & Toyo Tires. Tell us what you think by commenting below!

Wheel Specs:
HRE TR188
Size: 22”x10.5”

About a 2 weeks ago there was

a white one at Eastside Auto Salon

in Bellevue and my first thought was

"I wonder what kind of wheels David

would put on this"

While yellow is not my color the wheel

is outstanding


Thank-You

Haha is this true? As of right now HRE only offers the TR188 wheel for the SUV. The 8-lug pattern is a real bear when trying to design and engineer a unique style.
