HELP.......................HRE'S needed
Anyone know where I can get a good deal on some new rear wheels for my car. The 19" are not cutting it at all. I would like to get the same style I have now, HRE 541's but do 18" X 12" I am tubbed and I need to make sure they clear my 14" big brakes in back. I have give up on used 
So I just need to know where I can get the best price because this car has made be BROKE 
Thanks Guys
Gary

Gary, LPE probably has the best price on HRE's. Go to TByrne Motorsports with LPE's price and they'll match it and better it by 15%. TByrne doesn't list their best price online, so I don't know if its equal to or greater than LPE's. Or if you don't want those 19's anymore you could probably send them back in to HRE to have them convereted to a 18" R series rim. The only thing is that you would have a flat lipped R series rim on the back and a stepped lip rim up front. Hope this helps.

I had problem getting the price for HRE's site but I did get a price from TByrne. This car doesn't nickle and dime me to death, it's more like 1k and 2k me Ken, I would but you would get yourself KILLED
I just noticed you said LPE.............I send Ed an e-mail. he is getting back to me
