Yup, thats us, we sponsor his team, Team Rennen he has a white M3 with red interior.

As for the Group buy on rims... just give me a call and I'll set you up guys... I really dont think there are alot of places that can really touch our prices.

Sponsor?? Hmmm, Team Jangy?? HAHA!!

Screw the group buy on the rims. HRE 18s are only about $4K anyways and I don't think there is more than a couple of us interested, so I don't know how much extra discount we'd get. Now, if there were ten of us, we could put some pressure on.

If there are ten of you guys, forget HRE's, go for something totally custom and one off, the RAC Monolites that I had posted an example of in the other thread.

Cheaper than HRE's, stronger, lighter, and more exclusive.

But there aren't ten. there may be two. You still think it is worth looking? I will, but I'm not into the mesh look. They make any straight spokes? I want performance over all, and the HRE C22s are pretty rare on my ride.

By the way, anyone know if i can get a black chrome finish on them?? Talk about one off!!

We'll see what he can do with less than ten folks.

That was a group buy done for the E46 M3. The rim was 19lb high estimate.
All the rims I've seen are mesh look, I'll ask if he can make a simple straight five spoke rim.
From that thread, it looks like he can do

Arctic Silver (Powder coated)
A1 Silver (Powder coated) “Slightly more brilliant than Arctic Silver”
Anthricite (Powder coated)
Matte/Semi gloss Black (Painted)
Hyper Black (Painted)

they are one pieces correct? Is that better or worse for performance? I don't care about being able to replace a lip.

The monolites are one piece forged, not cast.
I've heard mixed things about being better for performance.

One of the myths I've heard about multipiece rims is that the whole price factor is inflated. The fact that they are multi-piece should make them cheaper to make, not more expensive.

Either way, they are forged, one piece, very strong and designed to be as light as possible from what I've read.
