It's amazing,

HREs are great wheels and this one is a gem. It will look awesome on your car....I'm so jeoulous. I also really like their badge, gives it a very European look. Please post a pic when you get them installed.

The tires might be worth a lot but the rims are nothing like that.

awiner · 09-04-2004, 09:52 PM

Multi Piece AMG 18's can be bought for about $1,000 each. Normally you could re-coupe 50% for a used wheel. With tires in decent condition you may be able to fetch somwhere around $2500.00 at best ? Does this sound about right for those whom have been looking at the multi piece AMGs ?

cte430 · 09-04-2004, 10:29 PM

Adam, $1,000 per sounds very high. when I had my E500 I bought a set of E55 AMG wheels with SO-3's mounted, balanced and shipped to my door for around $2,700 from tirerack.

AMIL's wheels are multi piece. That is why the cost is higher.

AznxKCBoy · 09-04-2004, 11:23 PM

hehe i bought a set of hre447rs in regular silver finish like 3 weeks ago. I really like the 447rs cuz they are straight in the spokes. congrats on the purchase. Hopefully I get my wheels soon! I ordered mine with michelin pilot sport ps2s.

Sorry, I missed that they are multi's!

BenzoBoi · 09-05-2004, 02:13 PM

I will decide once I see the rims on yer car...Welcome to the HRE club...

JLee81 · 09-05-2004, 05:18 PM

Those wheels look nice.
Hopefully you are not near New England Area cuz the roads are bad.
Be careful of potholes. and remember to wax them often or the shine will die.

AznxKCBoy · 09-05-2004, 08:31 PM

hey amil, what is the size of the lips you got on these wheels?

thats high but good luck anyway. maybe you can find someone on ebay to pay that much for them

calboy · 09-05-2004, 10:26 PM

Gunmetal sounds nice! I was really thinking of doing that but I will be getting back my 447r's in brushed aluminum in a few days, can't wait!

AznxKCBoy · 09-05-2004, 10:33 PM

wow, didnt know another person has 447s!

mnymakr · 09-05-2004, 10:43 PM

AMIL,

I didn't catch the size you ordered and did ou get a staggered fitment if so how much of one. I was told by the guys at HRE that you could go 235/40 in the rear without much trouble be interested to know if you have gone that extreme or not.

Thanks and congrats on the wheels they are kick A$$!

JamE55 · 09-06-2004, 02:47 PM

Amil

Nice shoes!

Welcome to the club!

Alexbenz · 09-06-2004, 11:31 PM

about time you got some shoes, hey you from e46fantics? i've seen that sig before

AznxKCBoy · 09-07-2004, 12:11 AM

hey calboy, post some pics up here or the w209 forum of the 447s on your car. I wanna see how it looks. You prolly will get them sooner than me, i still need at least a week or 2 before i get my set!

calboy · 09-07-2004, 12:36 AM

Congrats Amil and AznxKCBoy, we could be the new 447 club hahaha, anyways, I will post pics later this week. I kinda wish I had gone for gunmetal too or gunmetal center but brushed aluminum face, that would be sweet!

x-tian-230k · 09-07-2004, 03:01 PM

Amil, its very hard to sell used rims....good luck....

AznxKCBoy · 09-07-2004, 03:24 PM

wat color is your car calboy? mine is silver. i got the regular silver finish on the 447rs. couldnt pay the extra for brushed aluminum, too expensive. but i heard silver finish hres look pretty good with the silver mbz, hopefully it does!

calboy · 09-07-2004, 04:47 PM

It's black opal, so now we have three different color cars with three different finishes, would be nice to get a side by side photo!

AMIL · 09-08-2004, 08:46 PM

im cancelling rims on my car, the fiber optics died on me again ...i can now lemon the vehicle!

calboy · 09-08-2004, 09:00 PM
