Those are 22" Hartge Classics, 9.5 front, 10.5 rear.


I will have to see the A8 in person (S8 maybe?) I get a 745 feeling from the new A8, some say they see the passat. I don't feel the 745i as much as the 745IL, I don't know why but that extra 5-6" stretch really makes a difference to me. It just seemed huge in person.

The AWD of the audi would be nice since I am in michigan.

If you're going to drop that much money on a new 7 you might as well wait a little bit and get the 760iL with the new V12. That is going to be a bad *** ride.

HRE makes 22s for the X5 and 745il (E65)- the applications use different offsets, but both have 3.5" front / 4.0" rear outer lips.

See the 640R series for styles.

Unfortunately, I have no pics...

I had the 760LI in mind until someone said it would be 15-20k more, and although it is said to have way more torque (yeah v12 should) I also heard it wouldn’t be as quick as the V8 (Audi 2.7T vs. 4.2 V8, the 2.7 is faster, sounds like same scenario, bigger isn’t always better)


SoCalSC4- Any new wheels coming around the corner? I don’t think I will be acting on anything until spring at this point, can we expect anything from HRE 1st or 2nd Q of 2003?

We'll probably do a new 640R style or two for SEMA, and there should be a new wheel line for cars ready to debut at SEMA, too.

I can't say too much, but rest assured, they are cool!
