Default HRE 543R 20" prototypes cut

This is for Manaray: we cut the first prototype of the 20" 543R today... it is incredible!
The first two wheels will be assembled and sent for testing- an independent lab will try to break them...
After they pass (they WILL pass), we can start production of set #543-20R-001 (Manaray's). Nice.

Anyone want to buy my 19x9 + 19x10 546R that are brand new?
I want 20Rs (LOL) !!!!

Now those are TIGHT!!!! I just bought some HRE 540's used for my Acura TL. Think he said y'all have only made one set for the TL, he's in Florida.

Damn, I want those though. Do you guys have a trade in program?

That's great news! Can't wait to see pics of any 20" 540R on a car. Manaray's 543R's will probably be the first!

Dude, I am just one of those guys who is always on the go- didn't get home 'til 10:00 last night, was up working on the house until 4:00 this morning!

I've been working late developing an internal company 'fitment guide' and new line of wheels for SEMA...

Forgot: do-luck, if you're really interested in my 546Rs (they are brand-new, never even been mounted), here are the specs:

546R
Brushed/Clearcoated centers
Polised outer rims
Polished/ClearCoated inner rims (this is an "extra", looks really cool)
Built for SC400/300, would also fit first-gen GS300, Gen 4 Supra, new SC430 (but no provision for run-flat sensors).
5x114.3 bolt pattern
Lexus centerbore (60.1mm) "hubcentric"
Front 19x9 +35
Rear 19x10 +35

This set-up would list for:
Front: $1642 each
Rear: $1723 each
= $6730/ set.

I'd probably let 'em go for about a 'dealer' cost of $5000/set.
