or
he could just be like me and hasn't come out of the stone age yet.
My blackberry doesn't have a camera on it and I don't own a digital camera.
if you wanted me to give pics of my car ... I'd have to go to adam (Euroelites) just to get them online.
Now on the other hand ... sounds like the son has the ability to upload and I guess thats what we are waiting for ...
Tell your son to hurry up and take the pics and upload or no more allowance!

I seriously suspect that most of you posters fall under the 30 and below crowd...esp with all your rude and disrespectful comments. I will not be visiting the boards anymore...too mature for this crowd

Welcome!
HRE's are nice looking, but they're not particularly light or strong, especially at the 19" and above diameters. Consider HRE for appearance and exclusivity only, not for performance or weight. I've had to replace three rim halves on my HREs because they bend fairly easy. They're are numerous custom wheel choices out there, just be sure you know why you're buying HRE's, and weight savings should not be your primary consideration.
As a comparison, for example, 19" BBS LMs weigh about 5 lbs. less per corner, and the 19" BBS RS-GTs weigh about 8 lbs. less per corner than 19" HREs, and are stronger as well. The 19" HRE 547's weigh about the same as the stock cast 18" twin spoke AMG wheels, and that's not exactly a great weight endorsement.

Maybe not as much as BBS, but definately good weight reduction.
