Does anyone have a MINI with HRE wheels?

Bisch Apr 10, 2004 01:26 PM

Yes.
MCSmiami has a set of 19" ers on his. The pics were last seen on pg 528 of the gallery....I can't find them right now.

I have a set of 19" 540R's on order. They will be Charcoal with Polished lips. Will post pics when they get here in about 2 weeks! :grin:

Yo high rolla' das a lotta dough, yo! :eek:

It's really not that bad. It is costing a little over $4K for the wheels and tires out the door. This will be my 4th set in my garage. Both of my Benz's have 20" HRE's and my TT has 19" HRE's also. The 20" cost me $6500 per set, so $4K is not bad for 1" less :grin:

:smile:
That sounds like a nice selection in your garage. Got any pics?

The racing harts stick out about an inch too much, so I ordered the HRE's. The Racing harts do have a nice big lip though :smile:

rocman.....
you have amazing taste in cars and wheels! :smile:
if you ever need to hire a sidekick, drop me a line.. :wink:
the black 549R's on the benz are hot to death!

People with lots of cash and nice cars make me want to cry. (jealousy)

Bisch Apr 20, 2004 06:38 AM

Jeez, I had to ask for pics, didn't I?
Wow. Smokin' hot cars. Congrats. :eek: :eek: :eek:

rocman Apr 22, 2004 11:07 PM

You ask and you shall receive :smile:
Now 4 of my cars will have HRE's. I may have to put some on my X5 and LS430 also just to finish it off.

rocman Apr 29, 2004 09:53 PM

HRE's will be here tomorrow! As soon as they are on, I'll snap some shots. I guess I will have to install the coilovers now. :grin:

MCSMiami Jul 19, 2004 04:21 PM

MCSMiami,

Love your car, looks absolutely wicked! :cool:

I'm thinking of a set of 18" 543R's on my S - but i'm a bit worried about the rubbing issues. What width and offset are your 19s", do you have any problems with rubbing?

I was thinking of 18x8's but i'd also love to get as deep a lip as possible (love that look) so I need to be careful of pushing the wheel out too far. :roll:
