20" HRE --->19" TS6. Opinions?

Found a buyer for my HRE's - have the opportunity to acquire a set of 19x8.5/10 TS6s at a great price...what do you think of the TS6 on my BeastWagon?

Absolutely go with the Kleemann TS6. They are beautiful and unique wheels. If I could bring myself to spend that much I would go with them as well.

How much do they sell for?

BTW, silversurfer, you should do it. They are some of the nicest looking wheels for an E55, IMO.

disappointed about weight....

19x10 TS6 weighs 30lbs....!!!

6 pounds heavier than the 20x10" HRE!

As much as the TS6's look good, that weight differential would sway my vote.

Well, if it's at 30lbs, why even get the HRE normal line.

I'd do the Competition series like you have done if I was concerned about weight (and I am )

The Comp series are not everyone's cup of tea with a staged lip. No reverse drop on the Comps.

Well, I guess they are missing out.
Man a rim you can lift with a few fingers, easily!
