I found an E55 in Vegas that was running these wheels and I noticed they stuck out beyond the fender a bit too much. I shot the guy an email and worked out a trade for my 547's. His wheels needed to be completely stripped and rebuilt. I tried doing the work my self and after $150 in supplies and countless hours of labor, I decided to have them professionally done. I got a spot in Hollywood that polished the lips and brushed the faces for under $400. I did all the reassembly.

They look terrible.

You should take them off immediately and send them to me.

My shipping address is in my profile. Thanks



How are the roads where you live? I gave up on 3-Piece wheels after bending them the day after I had them fixed for the 3rd time ...

I get tired of vibration that's not near (on) my crotch

Sorry bro, Justin got dibs.

As far as the roads, they are crap. I find myself driving and focusing on the road in front of me rather than the cars I share it with. I have a client who lives in Newport off the 73 and NCD. Those roads are heaven. I drive the 405 South and its good. I made the mistake of driving the 5 South and I will never do that again. Yesterday I had to do the 101 through DTLA and I think its just as bad as the 5. I saw fractures in the road that if hit at the right speed would not only crack wheels but cause the airbags to deploy.

Very nice Vaz,

if i only knew you were looking for that style HRE's, i would have asked you if you were interested in my set (20's) that are just sitting around.

I haven't got the chance to post them up for sale.

^ In curves were mean as hell. I love the murder look on this car and maybe after I scuff these up a bit I'll just do them all black too!

The HREs are solid no doubt but I personally think the ones you had before these (not the Incurves, the graphite ones) fit the lines of the car better. Win either way though

The Verde wheels. Those were super hot. They're not too expensive and readily available, easy to make a swap. I agree with you, they really looked mean as hell. These give the car a more old school look and in person really pop like crazy.

TY!!
