I think I'd say FU ..

its a shame that OZ dont make 22's Ultraleggeras. or other desings as light as those.. did a websearch and didnt find any..

If I'm going to spend that type of money on wheels for a car then I would expect to save some serious weight. I would get the Wedsport CF @ 6lbs or the Dymag CF/Mag @ 13lbs.

21lbs for $10K+ is a joke. I can get Volks for 16lbs at $600/wheel instead. I have to admit they look good though.

does anyone have an HRE connection? I am looking at buying a set of P40's for my dad's Panamera and the only place I found in Canada is in Montreal and charges an insane markup! Let me know

to my understanding, HRE wheels are made to order... Rarely do you walk into a wheel shop and they have a set in stock... I highly doubt there are any hookups.

 

[cheechitup88]

even a place to order them from. from what i understand the set runs from 5000-6000 and here my guy starts at 10,000. I know that there is a price diff for duty and taxes and shipping but thats a big jump!

Why can't you order direct? Anything to be done I would do direct. I still have to refurb my 540Rs, but no point until I get another BMW they fit on. When I get them redone I am going direct.

Contact Peter at Wheel Experts. http://wheelexperts.com/ He sells a lot of wheels and has a good relationship with HRE.

Keep in mind local dealers are helpful if a problem arises. Dealing with a long distance dealer can be a bad thing. HRE does not sell to the public unless you want to pay list price, they have deals for sponsored cars/companies but beyond that there is not much of a hook up unless you know the owner.
