HRE 549 Wheels
UPDATES IN RED AND BOLD TEXT
I have a set of HRE style 549 3-piece wheels for sale. These wheels originally cost $4k+ when purchased new. These wheels were originally built for a C5 corvette (1997-2004). They have never been split and have no bends or cracks. They do have pitting on the lips, so they would need to be rechromed, or you could have them all disassembled and completely refinished. Since they need work I am setting the price low and looking for all reasonable offers.
Wheel Specs:
Bolt pattern: 5x4.75 or 5x120.65
(2) 17x8.5 backspacing: 6.56" Offset: 46mm
(2) 18x9.5 backspacing: 6.9" Offset: 42mm
Located in Atlanta, GA. Willing to ship (on buyers dime), and willing to travel a reasonable distance to meet up for serious buyers. I did just join this forum to sell these wheels, but I am registered over on bimmerpost.com with the same username. You can contact me via PM here, or email at black_89gt@yahoo.com
$1800
UPDATE! Wheels are now completely refinished. All four were taken apart, chrome chemically stripped (the right way), lips are mirror polished, and faces are powdercoated in a sunken treasure color.

18" wheel
17" and 18" wheel together

UPDATE!! Wheels have been completely refinished. All chrome was stripped and lips were polished, faces were powdercoated in a color called sunken treasure.

Thank you! The wheels were not polished. They were chrome, and the chrome was pitting on the lips, with a few bubbles on the faces. All 4 wheels were disassembled, each piece was chemically stripped (the right way to strip chrome without damaging the aluminum), then all lips were mirror polished, faces powdercoated, then reassembled to HRE torque specs.
