HRE 890 R SERIES 18" X 7.5

I Love the black finish!!! opinions please are welcome.

these rims cost $1700 each. i want to make sure i am ordering the right ones.

BTW, they can custom make the rims same color of my car.

wow, thats a subjective question, and a waste of money. If you've got $8k to drop on wheels, I can interest you in about 1000 other things to do with your mini that would be better spent.

 

and for those of who've already done those 1000 other things, there's HRE. Eat your heart out:

 

bro those are sweeeeet!! did you have them custom made? i was thinking the same design---black spokes and silver white metallic (to match my car).

If you can afford them why not!

 

well, I had them custom painted. they are the C20's...Competition Series

 

Yeah...Some of us have done 1000 other things, and had 100 other wheels.



Besides...once you've had BBS, HRE, Fikse, Works and the like there is only one more mountain to climb....

 

how do they ride? what size? what tires? I was thinking 18"

 

18x7.5 with 225/35/18 Goodyear F1 Asymmetric. Rides great...I'm of course not on stock suspension

 

that's my next mod---suspension, did you lower the car?

 

Love What i see so far...very nice look

 

yes, a bit, nothing crazy. Cross coilovers are among the better choices out there, unless you're a hardcore track junkie

 

not really..

saw these too..for $2800 volk gt-n gunmetal finish

 

GT-N's have been copied til the cows come home. There are so many Civic's with them out there it makes the real thing kind of tough to swallow if you are paying MSRP

 

yeah i agree..I'm going to order HRE tomorrow..still haven't decided what finish though.

thanks for your input and pics.

 

satin black center with OEM White Silver body color lip?? That would be interesting to say the least. not a MINI, but, you get the idea:

 

Yeah Satin Black centers with Pepper White rim sections would be hot!

 

Nice paint job! So I guess the XXR 006 is a replica of these then, huh?

Isn't that with pretty much every Volk wheel in the line?

Here is my setup since Volk was brought up, GT-N 18x7.5" tires are Pirelli PZero Nero 215/35/18

Suspension, H&R Coils

 

I saw that MK5 GTI in person before at a Euro GTG, it looked clean!

 

To each their own, while I do love some of the HRE designs, they are notoriously bad wheels.

I've heard of many other issues besides their strength but at 2:40 AM I can't bring myself to look it up.

 

yep

got anything newer than three + years ago?

 

yeah I'll post up some stuff when I get to work, running out the door ATM

 

If you sell your sidewalk wheels, I'd like first chance to buy them..

 

along with the fact that they are incredibly expensive for a heavy and weak wheel, some models also suffer from rainwater collecting inside the barrel and throwing the wheel off balance. For almost $6,000 you get bragging rights(on the amount you spent) and a decent-to-good looking wheel.

I'm not trying to say anything against the owners of these wheels but it just doesn't add up! There are tons of wheels that are stronger, lighter and better looking for the same or considerably less money.

I can't give any references on the water fact because of my work firewall(amazingly in my favor NAM isn't blocked)

 

very few two piece wheels are light. the HRE C20's are however......18lbs in 18x7.5 I think?
