Ok, just ordered a new set of wheels, HRE 841R Brushed center, polished lips. 19 X 8.5 and 19 X 11.5 with 4" lips.
(reason is that I change my mind every 6 months, got 15" brake upgrade and want to be able to see them <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

Expected in 4-6 weeks. So I will need to get rid of my cargraphics wheels once I get them. They are in great condiditon. I believe only one minor little scratch. List is around $4K. I will be happy to rid of for $2500. I think that's a really fair price.

If anyone is interested, shoot me an email.

I am debating between 841R and 847R and silver inners versus poilshed....shoot some pics when you get them to help me decide. Waht brakes did u get?? that is the same reason i want wheels with less inners - to show off more of the Brembo 15" system...

Will 11.5" rub ?? I was going to get 11x19 rears like my current set but with the 4" lip...(although someone at HRE advised that 3.5" would be better if car is lowered??)

I don't know think 11.5 will rub, reason being is that Matt at ByDesign and OAK both have the 4" lips and they don't rub.

So go for it ;-)

The cargraphics, are they lighter or heavier than stock hollows ?

TIA

Most 19" wheels are heavier , even if forged , due to larger size , esp when wider . Even if a 19" wheel is as light or lighter than the OEM 18" hollow spoke , the much bigger 19" tires are a lot heavier - no way to control that .
Think about it, when upgrading, most guys want not only larger diameter , but wider wheel and wider rubber - all mean more unsprung mass. Bigger brakes mean more unsprung weight also.
I went through a long phase of " plus 1 " and " plus 2 " wheel /tire upgrades on all my Porsches and BMW/MBZs from the late 70s to mid 90s and always marveled at how " light and sprightly " the car felt after returning to OEM rubber before selling , even if it didn't look as hot as the upgrades .

What brakes did you get Fred??

Great choice Fred... I was going to order the 841R's myself in 19's, but with rubber it was more than I wanted to spend on wheels. I am buying a set just like MSINDI's with rubber that only have 1.5 K on them. Could not pass them up and it gets me in 19's are a very reasonable price. I posted the pictures of the 841R's with charcoal centers in an earlier thread.

Msindi, got the Brembo 15"'s. Matt at ByDesign got me a great price I couldn't pass off.

Gary, thanks! And great choice as well.
