Talking HRE 545R's ARE ON!!!!!!

NEW PICTURES!!!!!!CHECK UM OUT!!!
Well, after all my bitching and moaning about them not being here...THEY LOOK AWESOME!!!!!! BLING BLING!!
I love um, and could not be happier right now!!! Snapped some shots after it was done, sorry for the bad pics, but it is raining here, so I didn't clean up the rims or tires. The only problem is that it looks like I am getting ready to run and offroad rally!! Bilsteins should be here in about 2-3 weeks, they are needed BADLY!!!!
ENJOY!!:







Regards,
Evan

Look at the reflection of the rear brake caliper in the wheel lip in the 3rd pic, haha, that's awesome. Looks great man.

Very nice....what size did you get?

They look very similar to my Kinesis K58Rs.... Although, I only have about a 3 inch lip in the rear and 1.5 up front.

Looks awesome. I especially like the deep lips. That's something you don't usually see on these cars (eg factory turbo twists, etc have NO lips).
Are you able to specify to HRE what depth lips you desire? What's the maximum depth? (2" F, 4" R's I suppose).

Evan,

Have you measured the lips with a ruler?? I have 19" 542R's and I took a ruler and the rears are more like 3.5" on mine. My offset takes the wheels out to the fender. I don't see how they could be out any futher without hanging past the fendor. Just wondering.


Quick Reply: HRE 545R's ARE ON!!!!!!
