It's a different rim profile from the standard series...it denotes a straight-lip rim profile as opposed to the standard beaded profile.
What they are doing is applying the 440 series rim on the 540 series.
the 540R series is targeted to the Porsche market.
HRE wheels are wonderful....I had them on my CLK 55...the first 55 fitment HRE did.

I went to the kinesis site and they have a new rim called a reverse drop, they say that the reverse drop uses a bigger center piece for a smaller lip, example: they have an 19" center piece for an 18" outer rim. Is this the same as the HRE 540R series?
