k a stupid question but just making sure.. would the HRE 545s fit fine on an 02 S4 in 19x8.h also what do you guys think.. should i go with 18s or 19s..

thanks alot

as you should know, hre's are custom-built to order ... so dial in the offset you want to make the 19x8.x work the way you'd like it to. you are in complete control ... in the case of the 545R's for my m3, i custom spec'd 10 different properties (model, reverse or standard lip, diameter, width, offset, backspacing, inner lip width, outer lip width, center finish and lip finish). you should consider these properties carefully and in concert with other components, such as tire widths and future brake upgrades ... it's a lot of money, you don't want to get it wrong.

personally, i think doing hre's in less than 19" is pointless ... but that's just me.

have fun.

if i'm paying 1k+ per wheel and still need to figure out all the spec. I'll have a really really bad headache.
