The Series RS3 wheels are for enthusiasts seeking the sophistication and clean lines of traditional HRE styles, but demand something fresh and modern. By integrating clean and elegant surfacing, a unique lightened-bowl design on the face and floating twisted-spoke features, the Series RS3 epitomizes the idea that wheel designs can be painstakingly refined so that they continue to complement the ever-evolving designs of today’s modern sports cars and high performance sedans. Just as today’s finest cars have continually improved over the years, so too can today’s finest wheels.
Vista, Calif. (July, 2018) – In conjunction with the celebration of its 40th anniversary, HRE Wheels announces the new Series RS3. The latest addition to the Series RS line, the Series RS3 is available in five unique twisted-spoke styles in sizes ranging from 19 to 22 and 24-inch diameters. The Series RS3 is available in five unique designs including the 7-spoke mesh RS300,the 5-spoke “V” RS304, the split 5-spoke RS307, the 7-spoke RS308 and multi-spoke RS309.
Previewed at the 2018 HRE Open House in June, the Series RS3 is the three-piece evolution of the popular RS3M Monoblok wheel line. The new Series RS3 features floating spoke ends that complete the spoke theme with stand-offs that give a deep lip look. The twisted-spoke and lightened-bowl designs have been painstakingly refined to complement the ever-evolving designs of today’s modern sports cars and high-performance sedans. In addition, the Series RS3 is load rated for SUVs in 21, 22 and 24-inch diameters making it a highly versatile line of wheels for most modern vehicles.
“When we started designing the Series RS3 line of wheels, we wanted to capitalize on the interesting design opportunities afforded by three-piece construction,” said HRE President Alan Peltier. “The five new styles launched with the Series RS3 embody an aggressive and contemporary design aesthetic while maintaining the strength and reliability HRE has become known for.”
All HRE wheels are engineered to minimize unsprung mass and rotational inertia for optimal acceleration, handling and braking performance. Each wheel is built-to-order and there are nearly infinite fitment, color and finish options available for the ultimate custom-tailored wheel buying experience.

question for you wheel pros. Dp you think 18" wheels in the nright back spacing would fit over the GLC63 front big brakes?
I would not recommend it. Most orders we're seeing for the GLC63 are 20", 21" and 22". More importantly though, you'll want an SUV load rated wheel which means you'll have to go with a 20", 21" or 22" fitment. Not going to have an 18" wheel that's load rated for a GLC63.

It is barely heavier than my Dodge Charger at 4500lbs. It is mostly a curiosity for now on the possibility of going with smaller wheels and 1" shorter tires after lowering the car.
For GLC63 20" set up what spec do you guys run with? 20x9.5/20x10.5? offset?
So we've actually measured the standard GLC, the GLC 63 COUPE, but we have not yet measured a GLC 63 like you have. If you're interested in having a set of HRE Wheels built for your GLC 63 and you happen to be local enough to drive down to San Diego, we'd love to scan the car so we can gather the information to produce a set in our recommended fitment. We cannot confirm if the fitment is the same with the GLC 63 Coupe so we'd like to have the exact measurements to be 100% sure. If you're interested though, PM me

They seem to be exactly the same. same OEM wheels, same brakes etc. What setup are you using for the 63 coupe?
I want the RS304 in the goldiest gold spokes and a high polish or matte black lip in 20".

9.5" Fronts with a low offset and 10" rears with a very low offset.
We have LOTS of Gold finishes. If you want the Goldiest of the Gold though, the colors that POP would be Brushed Gold, Polished Gold and Frozen Polished Gold which is Polished Gold with a Satin Clear coat. Let's start with the Frozen Polished Gold first, those photos I have are awesome of this finish:
Here's a Polished Gold with Gloss Clear as standard:
I am digging that brushed gold but I suspect the frozen solid gold could look better than it on a car.
question i asked in the C class post: is it plausible to go full 10" width in front to maintain the same convex angle as the rear if I was to do the RS304M?
The concave just looks gone in the staggered fitments.

Best bet if it's a 3-piece wheel, incorporate both colors, Frozen Gold and Brushed Gold. Reminds me of this set we did for an X5M.
Outers - Brushed Bronze
Inners - Brushed Bronze
Center - Frozen Bronze
Using the two colors to contrast against each other, while still being in the same family I personally think looks best. If you follow this template, rest assured you'd get a set that you'll love to look at every day.
You're asking about the conical profiles of a wheel and how deep they are. The 10" won't appear more deep than the front 9.5" because we'll use the same LO conical profile. Using the 10" is only going to potentially give you fitment issues, there's a compromise there that we don't feel is worth it. We would want to stick with the 9.5" and if there's a true concern over the way that it looks, if you want a square set up, then we would say 9.5" on all four corners is the best choice for you in particular. That Aston Martin is a terrible example for your car because that car doesn't take anywhere close to the same fitment your Mercedes would take, so I would avoid the juxtaposition against cars that are completely different. If anything we should be comparing X5M's like the one you see above since that's much more appropriate of a comparison.

mother of God! I almost want to make that last picture my screen saver.
