Default Used HRE 543 wheels Lower price…

Lets try this again with a lot more pictures and a lower price. $1800

NOTE: If you want them, send me a PM telling me so, also describing how you will pay.
I will then mark the thread as sold.
I prefer a paypal payment, but that is not required.
Last week I had a lot of confusion with multiple people wanting them, and one actually told me he was going to buy them… Well guess what, no payment, and he backed out of the deal, so if you want these, and you tell me you want them, be prepared to pay for them.

17 x 8.5 and 18 x 9.5 (See picture of width) I currently run 295/35-18s and 255/40-17s on them. They weigh 20lbs for the front and 22lbs for the rear, so they are light. They are in good shape, but these are used, and as such all have some normal wear, nicks, scratches, blemishes and clear coat flaking. A new set runs close to $5k. I’ve had them on my car for the past 5 years and 12,000 miles. They come with 1997-2000 tire pressure sensors glued to the inside. If you have a newer car you will have to pop off the old sensors and glue on your set.

Rims only: $1800
Plus shipping from Tampa Florida (33569) To calculate UPS shipping use a weight of about 30 per wheel.

Structurally they are in good shape, just to prove it, here are runout numbers as measured:

The centers are not chrome, they are highly polished and clear coated aluminum. The outer lip is chrome plated stainless steel.

Ok I could possibly see it being aluminum, but it must be forged somehow because it doesn't look like most of the cast aluminum wheels I've seen before.

yep you got it, forged alumn and the centers are forged alumn (that is why they cost 1300.00 per rim lol). you have a good price on these and I would just keep them out in front of everyone, great rims and great price.

FWIW, I have a set of the exact same rims with powder coated (silver) centers, that I want to send out for chrome on the centers other wise I would be all over these.

TTT

More Than Zero

BTW anyone intrested should check with HRE, I believe that it is only a few $100.00 per rim to get these reconditioned to 100% of new condition.

I also think if you send them to HRE they can swap out parts of the wheel to make them wider if you need that done. (3-piece)

Yes, the wheels are hard to keep clean, but they are beautiful. Remember if you keep them nice and waxed, they are easier to clean.

If you are worried about keeping them clean, switch to a ceramic brake pad. I dropped a set of those on my Benz, and those HREs stay a lot cleaner (Like night and day difference).

They are fairly new BFG KDW tires. 295/35-18s and 255/40-17s
The tires have 8/32 of tread left (10/32 when new)

If you buy the rims you can buy the tires for $400. The tires will NOT be sold without the rims. For shipping purposes, the rims and tires will be shipped separately. Uses these weights to calculate shipping: Rears 31 lbs Fronts 27 lbs.
