Ok. Here is the FINAL VERDICT on my HRE 546R's!

So I called a few shops, crunched some numbers, and came to a conclusion. With many great shops in mind, F1 Motorsports, HRE, Wheel Tech, Wheel Experts, Shoreline Motorsports, Vision Autosport, and lastly a shop recommended to me by my friend Hubert of Euro Sport. Heres what it boils down to. The prices ranged from $6400 downt to $5200. $5200 was from Wheel Tech with 19x8.5 2 inch lip in front, 19x8.5 2.5 inch lip in the rear sitting on Dunlops, and Eric from Huberts recommended shop was quoting $5380 with the same set up except on Falkens. Eric was on the cover of Aprils issue of EuroTuner with his Dolphin B6, and he was nothing but helpful in my situation. Very willing to give me more than enough inromation than he had to, and wants me to come down to check out his ride. So the winner is.... $5380. Eric is nothing but good people, very willing to answer any questions, and very helpful indeed. He recommends the Falkens, because he has used several different tire set ups, and for overall performance, he loves them. So thats where it stands, and I am putting half down in June, and taking delivery in July. As for the many questions, I am going to go with the Charcoal colored center hubs, because it makes me want to go ********** when I see how close the colors are. Ed, thank you sooooo much for your help on this, you da' man. Heres a little taste of what the rims look like, even though its on a BMW.
