so I can put on my new wheels

I need some good aluminum polish to buff them out

 

lookin hot man cant wait to see it in the spring

 

WOW..HRE...BALLER

 

nice.... what size are the wheels...

 

Daaaaaaaaaamn!! Those are nice!

 

nice used 18s

 

u r ballin man

 

Wheels look SWEET lou.
I know the feeling about not being able to wait til you can put them on

 

really nice wheels but i dont get it...you cancelled your order for the axis wheels on saturday, and on sunday night you have hre's with tires mounted in your garage.

 

can somebody tell me why HREs are so popular?

 

it's a very high quality polished, good looking forged wheel, and the company backs their products better than any wheel maker i've seen. good wheel for a mercedes. im just glad lou didnt get the same thing i had ordered ... i knew he was itching to out-do me so i figured it'd be this or fikse or something. lol.

 

Whats this "winter" thing you guys keep talking about?


nice wheels BTW!

 

thanks guys for the compliments

I drove out to Maryland to take a look at the HRE wheels this guy was selling. I told him straight up that Im a picky buyer and wanted the wheels perfect or I wasnt buying. I was shocked at the excellent condition they're in.

the wheels are polished aluminum so they can be polished to your hearts content but its a pain in the ass to get the brake dust off. I been using Mothers mag and aluminum polish and its great.

absolutely love the wheels and they're so light I cant believe it for a 18"

specs are 18x 8.5 and 18 x 9.5 or 10 inch he doesnt know he told HRE to make them wide but not to rub.

 

Nice....but I've never seen them on a CLK before....they'll look good!

 

Well that didn't take long lou. Congrats on the new rims they look freaking sweet.

 

def not my cup of tea, but whatever floats your boat. should i ride the bandwagon and say "rice" like everyone else here on the forum cuz i dislike them?

 

nice choice lou...ur a true HRE baller now. So how much did the used set of HRE's run ya back??

 

Ohh...I forgot...are the backs staggered w/ a larger lip??

 

Wow! Nice wheels. Glad you decided to go with the HRE's. I'm looking into wheels, but I can't justify spending that kind of money for NYC roads. Hopefully I can find a 'used' set like yours for a decent price. I'm not driving the C32 in the winter so I have until spring to find something. Post some pics when they're on.
By the way, did you ever find any info on the Alpine adaptor. My navi system is just collecting dust.

 

quikcls Its absolutely fine if you dont like the wheels, I expected that.

but I have never heard of anybody calling HREs rice .

 

cldriver.... I totally forgot about that...wow how long ago was that. Dude Ill look into it now that you've reminded me .

I would never buy new Hre and the only reason I bought these is because they are in perfect conditon. Ill look out for some and let you know

 

yes they are an inch or more wider

oh and the only ran me 1/3 of what they retail for

 

What tire sizes are they?

 

I was dissappointed in the tires they're only 225/40 and 255/35

I have to see if I can get 235/40 and 265/35...dont know yet

 

you broke yer cherry heh

was only a matter of time...if you could go through women like you go through mods for all yer cars, you'd surpass Amir in no time

 

Bling Bling....

I really like the Mothers polishes... Have worked very well for me in the past.

 

Lou, a friend of mine used to have polished aluminum wheels on his truck. The best thing we found to polish them was Wenol. by far the best polish out .. and we used it with one of those polishing drill bit balls that you put in a drill. Wheels would come up amazing when we did this .. resembled chrome

 

dude thanks for the tip, I knew there was something better than Mothers

Im gonna order now and check it out....do you think a dremel will be enough to polish them ??

 

Lou, first off, those HREs are soooo sweet. Gonna look amazing on your car.

I used Autosol on my Racing Harts and they came out amazing.

 

Lou, Wenol is definetly worth the money, but is kinda rare. You don't often find it in a store .. some places carry it. Best to order it online I think. There are two diff kinds, the blue and the red. I think you can use the blue for the first polishing, then the red maintains it? but dont quote me. The dremel should be fine. We just used a 40$ regular Craftsman drill. The polishing ball was 19.99 from some car site, dont remember which one.

 

someone around my neghiborhood has those same wheels on an S6 avant, awesome wheels man

 

No problem. I've actually searched the MB boards but couldn't find anything. It seems like nobody knows about this adapter or maybe it doesn't exist?
How's your system running? I'd hate to lose the audio controls on the wheel. I'm a little lazy.

 

system is running perfect I remember somebody did this but he was in Germany but it wasnt a thread.

Ill probably start a thread and see if somebody will post

 

i love those hre

 

Great choice of rims. Can't wait for you to mount em.

 

I posted on mbworld.org and got this: http://www.alpinef.com/steerphpBB/vi...45805426717e7b

Wonder if anyone in the US stocks that part or can even get it? Seems like a lot of work. It says the ignition needs to be pulled on the C and the instrument panel needs to be removed on the CLK.

 

winter? what stickin' winter? sorry, never heard of such animal...

btw: nice f'in wheels!!!

 

6-12" of the white shit from tonight into Wednesday.

 

damn playboi......BLING BLING....looooks sickkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!

cant wait 2 see em on, plus hre's are known 2 be able 2 take quite a pounding.


btw lou, ur car is P-I-M-P....but unfortunately, no amount of money will ever be enough to help u become one :P j/k

 

thank you for the compliment but as far as being PIMP dont want to be...just love for cars.
