ML63 W/ HRE 647r

After a very long wait, I finally got my HREs yesterday. They are brushed center w/ a chrome lip. and they look very nice. Anybody with this car contemplating on getting HRE, get em they are worth every penny.

Looks very nice. Think you just need to lower it a little bit so that the trucks stance looks meaner. Just my 2 cents.

Hi Blue,
Do you know the weight of the HRE wheels (single one) as opposed to the stock 20" AMG's? I'm really curious to get this info.
Thanks – and the wheels are amazing!

Believe it or not, the car feels a little lighter with the HREs on. I didnt actually put them on a scale, but they are litteraly about half the weight of a regular 22" cast wheel. My brother has a rim shop, and I compared the weight with his other 22s that he has in stock, and it is definiteley a world of a difference.

I was a little worried about the 30 series tire, I couldnt make up my mind, whether I wanted a 30 series or 35 series. The 30s are fine, as long as you get a good tire like I did The car actually handles a little smoother IMO.

Now I have to lower it and It will probably drive perfect.
