Any picks? How does it differ from the standard 540?

They have a flat lip instead of the standard rim "stepped" lip, but they are a lot more expensive.

The entire 540 Series line will be available as 540R- they are the
same styles, but feature the 'flat' lip.

This includes the new 544 "dish" wheel. Initially, 18" and 19"
diameters will be offered, with 20" to follow mid-summer.

As far as weight: to be honest, I don't recall weighing any...
I will try to gather some data ASAP.
I am certain they weigh more than the standard 540 Series
due to the larger wheel center (by 1" in diameter) required
by the 540R series.

Here's a shot of the 547R in 19" (Adam Saruwatari's new car)

I don't have photos of 540R Series wheels on anything
except Ferrari & Porsche- that's all they've been made for...
so far!
