Hey everybody.
Just want to let you guys know I am the one that bought Hameeds old rims. They came in today with UPS and look practically brand new. Hameed is happy about getting his HRE's but I am happy to get his old stocks. They're newer than what you see in the stores plus the Michellen Pilots are mint. The tires alone made it worth while because the ones I have are all diffferent brand. I know these are one of the best tires out there and go hand in hand with the performance of GS400.
Thanks bro for taking great care in packing the wheels.

Lol, I talked to Dex tonight on the phone and he'd read this thread and he was like "hey man, everybody's bagging on my blue GS dammit!" He then started muttering something like "YOU'RE MY BOY BLUE"

- F - 18x8.5 OS.31 - very agressive offset!
- R - 18x9.5 OS.37 - very agressive offset!
I will just wash the car tomorrow at home in the freeezing weather and suspend the insurance till mid April as this snow and -20 C temperatures shows no signs of letting up.

Congrats Hameed !!
I never looked much into HRE wheels until I saw them in person. There's just something about these wheels in real life that pictures just can't do justice.
Also optimizing offset down to the last mm has gotta be "The Edge" that HRE's have over the generic offset that most wheels offer. HRE has the perfect offset specs for our cars, so that is important too.

I tried to capture the aggressive offset in this pic: (I will post better pics later today):

Very sexy wheels hameed. Congrads on getting them. They really look nice. Do you notice any difference with milage and speed penalty?
I am thinking of getting rims and you guys increase the pressure to do so since everyone is getting wheels.
Still holding back hoping to get a deal on a nice used set.
