Are you able to share the tire size info for that setup? I'm always curious about rear tire fitment (especially when it looks like someone squeezed some extra width back there) but would appreciate the F & R tire info if you're willing to share it.

Thanks!

Hey guys, glad everyone loves the wheels. My photographer is working for Mclaren & Lambo of Newport Beach now so we have to plan a time to shoot the car here soon.

Tires are Michelin Pilot Sports. Fronts are 245/35/19, Rears are 275/30/19 (stretched a bit for fitment).

Thanks to HRE and ACG we have achieved a truly aggresive and flush wheel/tire/offset combo. I'm in love

Haaaaa, the best part of this, I thought those were 20s they look so huge! Man, that is why that wheel always looks so good when the spokes come all the way to the edge! They look huge!

I don't see any signature.

18" fitment for P40S is very limited, mostly to high offset applications.

Great wheel!!! Love the tinted brushed style.

Thats because of the medium offset setup up front. The rear has a nice conical perspective. MBZ is so damn weak on offests compared to BMW- Now the CLS has more room to show the conical structure front and rear. Also these are 19's and are less dramatic due to less diameter (conical wise)
But what you also get with HRE is amazing build, fit and finish, and quality plus function (low weight) along with form.

It would be for a 1993 Mazda RX7.
Stock offset is +50 so there would be plenty of room for a concave look
The offset i have now is a +38.

I know these are "lightweight" but how does this compare to

a) Old Style IV AMG two pieces?
b) new AMG light weight options rims?

Btw they suit the car very nicely

for perspective:


I had the forged 19's on my CLS and they weighed with tires:

19x9 255x30 54 lbs
19x10 285x30 59 lbs

I got P43S's (not SC's which here are even lighter)

20x9 with 255x30 49 lbs
20x11 with 305x25 54 lbs

So id say quite a bit lighter since these are 19's here and are SC's
