HRE vs Autocouture
#16
Ken,
They said it would be four weeks. I was told I could get a "hot" order that would make it two weeks, but it would cost about $700+ more. I'll wait. Should look good. I probably won't lower it because of all the dips in the town I live in. I've lightly scraped a couple of times as it is. Thanks for the congrats. I'm excited.

Ordered 19 inch 540Rs. Dseag2 convinced me to get the Pilot sports too. I hope the ride is okay on those. Sorry Deseag2, but I went with the A/S rather than the others. Colorado weather kind of dictates that. My wife hates the run flats!!! I went with the 285s rather than the 275s. I know they may not look as good, but I think that will provide a little more protection for the wheels.

Okay,
.............HRE 540Rs. The HREs are forged rather than cast so they are a lot stronger according to Peter at Wheel Experts. They are also modular and can be repaired easier. .......

bitkahuna,
Nice looking car!!! Have you lowered yours at all?? I don't think I'll have any troubles with rubbing with the 285s. I wanted a little more tread to help protect the wheels a little bit and maybe help slightly with the ride. Like the car and the wheels!!!

jbbnet,
Wow, that is a lot. However, I would gladly pay that as opposed to paying $4,000+ for new wheels because my $2,000+ L-sportlines were bent. All four of them!! There is no way to repair those, so at least the 3 piece forged are stronger to begin with and have separate pieces to repair whatever is damaged. Hell, with Colorado roads, I'll probably find a way to f---- these new ones up too!!!
