Who to purchase HRE's from?
 

I am looking for HRE 593R, 590R or the comp 21 (19in) in 20in for a 997 NB.
Would like a brushed finished with chrome lip or a satin black finish with chrome lip.

If you can give me a quote, please send it my way.

TIA
Frank

I'll work up a quote for ya..

competition series are the best, i have a set on my car.... they make your car feel like new, and light as hell, well worth it... trust me.....

Actually doesn't much matter.

HRE sets a minimum sale price, and any dealer that sells under that will be punished. (This is done under the theory that maintaining high prices will ensure that you, the consumer, will receive the best support- and that low prices will actually hurt consumers.)

This theory is supposed to prevent "internet sales" and make it a toss up to visit you local shop to get one-on-one support there.

Problem is (a) many places there are no 'local dealers', (b) their prices are MSRP, (c) you know more than they do about the wheels, offsets, etc, and (d) you get hit with sales tax.

Best you can do is buy out of state and avoid sales tax. I am pretty sure 10% off of MSRP is the minimum HRE permits.

very good point here... rep point added, well deserved.....+ 1:)

Best price would be from other members used but you may not get what you exactly want

So within 10% of msrp is the best any of us could exoect? if anyone knows contrary to this please let me know, by pm if nec, I am looking to buy in a month or so and was wondering where the best place to buy from as well.

If you want cheaper HRE's, buy used.... ard's explanation is accurate from my experience.

Even though I am still pending to buy some things from him, I highly recommend Dan from Vivid Racing...

Frank - You can check out the list prices of HRE at our catalog www.vividracing.com/hrewheels. We sell for 10% off that and give free shipping. We also offer trade in value up to $1000 on used OEM wheels. Let me know!

I am in Ca. as well and went with Dan/Vivid. Free shipping and no sales tax, and with the discount that is the way to go for new HRE's.

thanks pretty cool, i wish i would have know that....:cool:

We just updated the site to show the 10% discount.

FYI.. New HRE 560c and 560r wheels released. Under $5K - http://www.vividracing.com/blog/anno...ew-560-series/

It is basically price fixing and other companies have been challenged in court for doing something like this.

I have had great experiences with Wheels Boutique in Miami and they are a sponsor.
