My full set of 541R's in 18x9.5 & 19x11 were almost $6k for the fully polished set including shipping. They can be found for cheaper now but still plan on spending around $1250 per wheel.

i hear the prices of em are going down due to recent banning issues in racing. supposidly their quality control is very bad...
i donno though, i dont mean to raise up disappointing issues, id just look more into it if i was about to buy a set.
good luck!

...you've got to be joking..6k for wheels?
do they come with tires that never wear out or what?

HRE's are one of the more expensive wheels out there for the C5. Be prepared for sticker shock.

You can wait for a used set from the forum. Some guys go thru wheels like changing their underwear.
There are other alternatives that are even better quality than HREs (following the ban). CCW is what Im leaning on right now.
