Re: Found some nice rims
the 540R will cost about 8k shipped to u.... the trafficstar will cost about 4-5k.... the C20 i am not so sure but should be in the range of 6k-9k.....schmitd will cost about 6-8k as well...
the cheapest way to get HRE to singapore will be either thru indo or hong kong distributor... they will be the cheapest as they are 2nd tier after manufacturer... if u buy from singapore shop..they will have to order frm indo or hong kong as well... in the end of the day u paid more of those people's commision..
and HRE america will not entertain you if u want to buy from them....they will ask u contact ur nearest distributor..

Re: Found some nice rims
hre's are gr8 to look at ... but they have an inherrent design flaw (at least on some models) ...
if u look at the cross section of the rim, it is dipped in the centre where the air tube goes in ... as a result, when it's dry, no prob. when it's wet, u get some seriously scary steering wheel shake between 120-18kmph ...

Re: Found some nice rims
yes...theres some problem with some of the HRE designs... in some models..the centre actually traps water....
HRE arent exactly light...execpt maybe for the C series...
the reason people buy HRE is for the bling factor..and their quality is superb and they dont lose their resale value...HRE is like the rolex of rims... dont exactly have the best function or movement... but its famous and well known for its quality..

Re: Found some nice rims
i hv a set of hre's on my 996tt, so i'm commenting from personal experience here ...
like i mentioned earlier, the air tube enters the rim about the middle of the rim. the centre of the rim (on a cross-section) is lower than the rest. as a result, it accumulates water when raining and cannot drain. at speeds of 120-180kmph, this imbalance caused by water accumulation makes the steering wheel vibrate excessively (and dangerously, in my opinion). once the water is gone, everything's back to normal.
would i buy another hre? probably not, given my experience with it. it rains here all the time. but then agn, you don't do those speeds here ...
of course, travelling up north in th rain is hell with these hre's ... need to keep pulling in to a gas station to mop up the water so you can keep up with the group !!!
hope this helps ...
