Love my new HRE's

Some pics with the new HRE 547R's.

Fronts are 19 X 8.5, rears are 19 X 9.5. The ride is a little harsher but steering response notably better. No way I'll ever go back to stock rims. I'll mount my slicks soon on the AMG rims.

man dr.chill those rims and whole car look great. But the inside of the wheels could use some cleaning from the brake dust and the wheel wells are a little dirty.

THe car looks beautiful..those are the rims im looking at getting for the car, but I would get them with the anodized black on the inside of it for the ease of cleaning.

I think that same gril, without the star, painted in body color, would look great on our cars...with the just the flat hood badge...I dont think such a thing exists though.

DR Chill, is that the lorinser lip spoiler? I've started to look aroudn to see where I can get it...

Those look great, congrats! Do your self a favor and get those tires off as soon as possible they are inferior compared to others. I won't say which tire to get but I just hated those tires when I had them on my car. I ended up taking them off after 8K miles, they just got scary in the rain and were really loud.

They look great. I am thinking of going with a set of 847s in 18x9 and 18x9.5. What are the specs on yours, and how do they fit compared to stock. It looks like the fronts are similar and the rears are out just a bit.

Nice, but the front appears to have a very conservative offset.

HREs + E55 =

I have a question on the rims. What's the difference between a HRE 540R and a HRE540 rim?

The R stands for reverse lip.

540Rs have a flat lip.

The 540 has a raised lip (or bump) half way in.

Most people go with the reverse lip.
