Question Swift Racing and HRE pricing

I just came across this company called Swift Racing. Their site has pricing for HRE rims that are unbelievably low, its unreal. Everyone else quotes me about 100 off MSRP each wheel, but Swift has cut about 280 off of a 19x10" 540 series. Anyone know how they can go so low?

check out their site.

Anytime you are concerned, simply call the main company, and ask them if the shop is an authorized dealer. I'm sure HRE would be happy to help you.

looks like they are still using the old price list for MSRP, too. The only real way to find out is to call HRE.

Peter,

That discount does seem a bit too deep doesn't it? Am i correct in saying that most shops offer around $100 off each rim? BTW are the 540R's more expensive than the 540's?

it's a little low i'd say. We can usually do pretty good on HREs.

The 540R series is a lot more expensive than the reg 540 series.

What's the MSRP difference between the two? roughly.
