My best friend wants to get these wheels for his S500 and I heard about these wheels from people, on Clublexus, and in ads. Though, need some info on quality, chrome finish, reliablity.. etc.. Before my friend spends $8-10k on these, he gotta make sure.

Thanks for any inputs.

Default NBA..

Latrell Sprewell of the NY Knicks has a set of these on his CL600. They look dope. IMO spending 10 grand on a set of rims is pretty silly. Yet again, when your salary is a few million per year and you own a $150 Benz, $10,000 rims don't sound that outrageous.

You don't have to worry about the quality and reliability...HRE manufactures the rim for Davin...Davin did the designing and HRE builds it for them...

You can call Sprewell Racing (Latrell's shop) and they can give you all the info...I think they're the official distributor...

PERSONALLY, I think it's kinda wacked...I'm not into the whole spinning thing...it's very...hmmm, pointless and heavy...hope he plans on doing a brake upgrade too!

I'd rather buy 2 or 3 sets of rims instead...Or I'd buy one set of rims and then buy other accessories (like a body kit, engine mods, brakes, etc.)

Thanks for the inputs Manaray, appreciate it.

He is going to mod out his S500 and put it in the car show and thats pretty much the only reason he wants that because he would be one of a kind there (at least with the rims that is). He got quoted at $10,200 so far :eek: :eek:

Thanks, I will pass this info on to my friend.

He's going to try to talk him down to below $9k hopefully. How much is chad asking?
