You know what, you are right eclou. I forgot all about those C2 wheels. Keep those supercups man. They will probably go up in value. I'd love to get bigger outer rims for mine. An inch bigger front and back but they don't make them anymore. The Asanti Wheel company bought them out as well as most everybody except HRE and the quality isn't up to par. I have Asanti wheels on my 760li and I've bent both front wheels already. They are easily rounded out but it's still a hassle. I don't know, maybe they are pretty good. The car weighs 4600lbs and the tires are 25 series which is a strip of bologna so that may be an issue as well. HRE's for me if I ever get new wheels.
HRE wheels are by far the best. I hope everyone on this list buys a set!
BTW- I designed and sell them their packaging materials. Made right here in beautiful San Diego, CA!

Huh, do you charge them an arm and a leg for the packaging? Those wheels are so damn expensive, I'm just wondering where they begin to justify the cost. They are some of the best built wheels out there though. Don't let Mike (MPD47) hear anyone say that though. lol

I also designed and sold Kinesis Wheel's packaging. Great company - great people. Unfortunately, they sold out to Lexani. A lot of Lexani's stuff comes from over-seas, so no future for me there.
HRE wheels are very expensive (not my fault). But, you get what you pay for. There's just too much crap these days. It's nice to see quality. Again - great people too.
I would call Brian Pecen at Lexani to see what they still have available. Good luck.

Hmm, there has definitely been some bad reports re the HRE's out there amongst others but they sure look nice.
Good luck on the 12's Joe and take some more pics of your car please. We don't get to see it enough!

I have the wheels pictured below on my car and I believe they are BW Kinesis, meaning the centers are made by BW and the rims are made by Kinesis. I have seen these wheels in 16" and 18" and it appears to be the same center on both with different outer rims. Does anybody know if it is possible to bolt standard 17" Kinesis rims to these centers?
