Yea thats a kick in the *****, for the price they had those on sale a few weeks ago I almost pulled the trigger. the tires kinda made me hesitate since only the michs are avail and cost more than the wheels. I would have been upset at that concaveness to be honest. The hre pics looked super concave.

If you wanted concave these aren't what you are looking for. Doubt you would get much concave with the needed offset of 35/45 for the w222. I wanted no concave to make the wheels look bigger on the car. Concave and dip dish wheels looks smaller then their actual size. Kinda regret not getting 22", lot more tire options.

Looks nice. I know nothing about the FF wheels aside from te fact that they're cast and not forged......might have something to do with the offsets or the rear concavity you're looking for?
And plus, how did you get them SO fast?! Was it proximity or a different factor?

Congratulations to those in here with the FF04's on their cars. For sub $800 per wheel you are able to get your foot into the HRE brand & their 40+ years of prestige & and premium build quality. I look forward to helping more on the forums gets these on their W222's.

Congrats! Both cars look great but need a little height adjustment, specially your Venom. Is yours raided on the pics?
Personally I like 21" best for these cars. 22" is too large but has a great tire selection. Same as 20".

Traditionally though, BMW's have much lower offsets, and wider fenders than Mercedes does, and that isn't for every BMW model of course, but most of the M-class cars versus the AMG cars will bode better for conical profiles and lip sizes.
Main reasons are going to be how much room we've got in the fender to start, plus how big the brake is and the typical offset needed on the vehicle and lastly the suspension geometry so there's quite a few factors which play into this.

I have reached out to them and still waiting for a reply. They also dont list an application for the MBC on their website. Read up lowering links and it doesnt seem too hard to install, might try if renntech doesnt have anything.

I reached out to the OBD lowering module guys on Amazon with my VIN and was told it would work on my car which means I don't have ABC or MBC on my car.
