Sorry for the repost, but wanted to let everyone know how well Ben took care of me with my wheel adventure.

I had posted a couple months ago about my HRE wheels rubbing and everyone was correct. The offsets were very aggressive. I had purchased the wheels used from Ben at Wheelsboutique and let me tell you, he took complete care of me. Ben took the wheels back with no hassles and made me a tremendous deal on a completely new set of HREs and new rubber I just got the wheels/tires today and installed them myself. They are awesome in my opinion. Thanks Ben and Wheelsboutique! Enjoy the new pictures

Those are GORGEOUS! What are they, what size, what offset, and are they heavier than our stock wheels? I may have just found my next mod.

These are HRE 844R. 19", 8.5 in the front and 11.5 in the back. I honestly don't know what the offsets are. I bought them through Ben and Wheelsboutique.com and had HRE use "standard" offsets? You could send an email to Ben and he could tell you the specifics. I know the HREs are lighter than stock, but these were chromed, so i'm not sure about the weight. Definitely one of my favorite mods to date. Changed the looks of the car completely. I've changed the suspension with JIC Cross Coilovers and lowered it a bit. The 19's work perfectly. Good luck and post some pics when you get them!

Ben's a good guy. I bought my Techart wheels with Conti's from him. Good experience as well.
