Who has the best price on nice HRE wheels?

I assume these are top quality and pricey. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Navindra, you are the resident HRE expert no?

Lookout!!!!! They are top notch though. I have heard of sets starting somewhere in the neighborhood of $3000 new. HRE has a very good reputation, though. You will still need to shop around. Good luck.

HRE's are awesome wheels. I have them on my Nissan 300ZX. I got them on a group buy a while back and saved a ton of money.

I would def shop around.

Thanks guys.

Well Sean...I started to consider it to make the thing more sporty and stand out from the older drivers a bit more. It would depend on resale value a bit as I tend to get a new car every 3 years. I understand these things really hold their value.

Pat,

I never really looked at your Z pics on Zdriver. Those HREs are beautiful!

I am thinking about a 5 spoke model...

Hold their value?

Forget it...It's like buying a Ferrari...I'd swap em out with each vehicle I own (if they are the same lug pattern of course )...I really don't think you can go wrong with HRE's.

Good Luck and keep us posted.

lol.. HRE export... well first of all, its gonna be hard to find a good price on them, because they're not really like konigs, racing harts, etc... they are really really top end. its kinda like what sean said.. try going to a ferrari dealer and trying to get a good deal on them.. hard to do. i guess you could try ebay.. i never checked if they have HRE's on there, but they might. they way i look @ it, buying hre wheels over any other wheels, are an investment. They have really good customer service, and you can send your wheels to them if they every get bent, or need to be refinished. i think they come with a warranty.. i dont really remember. i'm not sure if you would be interested, but i know that you can get custom offsets, and the wheels painted certain colors..

the materials used to make the wheels are top notch, as well as the equipment.. probably the best in the industry.

the 545R and 545 are sick wheels.. are you going to drop your car @ all when you get aftermarket wheels? what color do you plan on getting? silver, chrome, polished, gunmetal? did you try contacting HRE through their website, for a estimate, just to see what they are asking in general?
