Chris Rado's Mercedes ML63 at SEMA 2012

Chris Rado is a huge fan of HRE Wheels. His tow vehicle, a Mercedes ML63 AMG is equipped with a set of HRE TR45 in Satin Black. He also put a set of HRE wheels for his trailer to match the setup.

I saw on HRE's website that the TR45 look quite concave but on the ML it's not very concave. Is that due to the max offset allowed on the car itself?

Probably - my wheel setups on the ML (not HREs) aren't very concave due to the brakes / fenders.
