Put HRE's on my E55 :)

Sorry for the pic whoring I am just bored at work. Spec on the wheels/tires

HRE 447R 3-piece wheels. The front two wheels are all 19" x 8.5" (with a +29 offset), while the rear wheels are 19" x 9.5" (with a +38 offset).
Finish - Face: Brushed aluminum
Finish - Lips: Polished aluminum
Bolt Pattern: 5x112
The tires are Dunlop SP Sport 9000's. The front tires are 235/35ZR19 tires, while the back tires are 265/30ZR19 tires.

I bought them on ebay for a deal I could not say no too, did't need them but just couldn't pass them up. I had ebay E63 wheels on it before, the other car is my roomates 02 GS300 slammed to the ground on coilovers.

BEFORE





AFTER













GS ON STANCE SCFIVE 19"

I NEED to lower this thing from 4x4 mode asap. Just stuck on which module to go with and what options I want to have with it. I am going to look at one that Ahmed recommended through MBH and take it from there. YES I KNOW IT NEEDS TO BE LOWERED hahahahaha

Do it.. I get lots of compliments on it.. No I actually had someone do it for me, as I wanted it to come out perfect. Definitely would be easier with two people and a heat gun.

Heres a pic

Hell yea and $950 is not bad at all. Have you used this unit before? I just want something I can have set to certain heights at certain speeds. Anything over 30-35 mph I would want to be at factory height, mainly because NOVA roads blow.

I will think about it but they will probably go on in late October/early November just because I do not want to have to worry about the salt and crap that goes down during the winter season in my area. And if I have to drive in the snow I would cry if I curbed one of these wheels because they no longer make this model...... lol

It does have a speed option but when when you try to click on it it doesn;t let you.. i guess that option is not for our cars not for our cars, that would be amazing though. I hear you, driving around at higher speeds with the inner barrels holding most of the weight can lead to bent wheels quick.
