MCS JCW with 19's

Finally got some pics of my car this weekend with my new HRE 19 wheels. Love the ride more than with 17 s lites with runflats. Much smoother and quieter ride. Unbelievable.

Those wheels look great on that car. The silver lip and the cars beltline work well together. Nice choice!

Very nice wheels and they cost some $$$$$, I know I have 448R HRE's on my Benz. I was wondering if you knew the weight of the wheels, and what tire size are you running. After all my mods I have no more money for wheels, I have to save up for a new condo and a turbo kit.
Your car looks great!!!

Supernice wheels.

Take more pictures. Your gallery is empty.

More mods planned? Big wheels usually cry out for...
Big brake kit! Looks like you have JCW works kit, black full aerokit with painted arches and lowering springs at least

Doesn't have to be too expensive but for balance consider brakes from TCE brakes- a whole like of possible upgrades at decent prices and they look good.
http://www.tceperformanceproducts.co...s.pl?record=13

Are those wheels HRE 540 (3 piece forged) in black finish? 19x8" about $1395 each? Or maybe HRE 540R for $1795 each?


18" 540 in black finish

Which tires did you use? 215/35-19 or 225/35-19?
How do you like the tires?

The wheels are definitely HRE 540R. The R stands for reverse-lip which is your standard flat lip. The HRE 540 has a stepped lip like BBS LM's.

Although you've got the retail price right, people don't actually pay that much for HRE's. Shop around and you'll find that authorized dealers can give some aggressive pricing.

What could possibly make the reverse lip so much more expensive?
