I'm selling my HRE 545s. More info inside...
I am selling my A4 to a guy in Maryland who should be picking it up this coming Friday. He loves the HREs I have on the car, but can't really afford to buy them. And they won't fit on my 337 without an adapter that will make them stick out way too far.
Soooooo...
I thought I'd give you all a shot at them. Here are some specifics:
1) I am selling a set of 5 wheels - the three fronts are 18x8 and the two rears are 18x9.
2) There are tires on 4 of the wheels (two fronts and two rears). The tires are Dunlop SP Sport 9000s with plenty of tread left. I don't know exactly how much, but it should see you through the rest of the summer at least. But chances are, you aren't buying this set for the tires
3) The front tires are 225/40 18 and the rears are 255/35 18.
4) The bolt pattern for all wheels is 5x112.
5) The offset of the three front wheels is +31 and the offset of the two rear wheels is +27.
6) These wheels are polished aluminum (NOT chrome) and were custom made by HRE. They also feature etched center caps instead of the usual red & white ones that you typically see.
7) The wheels will fit a Mercedes CLK and I have hub centric rings that also allow them to fit an Audi (A4, S4 or A6). They may fit other cars, but you'd have to verify that for yourself.
8) Given the offset, the rear wheels will stick out just a bit on an Audi. If your car is too low, if you have people in the back seat, or if you're carrying heavy stuff in the trunk, you will probably rub. I personally never rubbed unless I went over a very big bump or had someone sitting in the back seat.
9) Since these are 3-piece wheels, it is possible for you to change the rears to 8" to avoid the possibility of rubbing. This will probably cost about $300 per wheel (only necessary in the rear) for HRE to replace the outer lip with a narrower one.
I am selling the full set for $2,750 FIRM plus shipping. That price is for the set of 5 wheels, 4 tires, and the hub centric rings. If you know anything about HREs, you'll know that this is a bargain. The whole set brand new cost over $6,000, and I'm am NOT accepting offers. $2,750 is the price.
I have never gotten so many compliments about my car as I have in the month or so that these wheels have been on them. They are absolutely beautiful. Here are some pics:

I'm trying to recover the price of the hub centric rings that I had to buy after the fact. I'm...
not trying to rip anybody off here...I'm just trying to get what I believe is a fair price for something I'm selling.
