HRE Brushed titanium???

Surprisingly, I haven't seen any M3's sporting HRE's in their wonderful Brushed Titanium finish...maybe it's too new? Anyone have HRE's in this finish? The wheel on the left is their Brushed Titanium (satin finish), the wheel on the right is Brushed Tinted (gloss finish). The only difference appears to be satin vs gloss with the tint being very similar. If you have this finish (Brushed Titanium) I'd love to see a pic. Thanks!

Whoa! Both are beautiful!

I'd be all over the Brushed Tinted (gloss finish) on the right, but as I understand it, they are pricey but you get what you pay for with HRE...ie. big$ for amazing rims...



Oh well, have to ask: Est'd price?


Anyone?

Uber $8K for the brushed titanium in ZCP sizes. I think they're more than the brushed tinted. I've got a set of P43sc's in brushed titanium on order, should be here in a week or two.

Landstuhl huh, my birthplace!

Copy all - ouch.

That's more than I spent on my wife's first wedding ring, and her 10 year anniversary upgrade...together! lol!

We are loving the area - close to several tracks (and work) - but Oregon is nice too. I am originally from Vancouver...



Vancouver, BC that is. Cheers!

Congrats on your P43SCs by the way! Pics when on your ride!

Cool, small world. Vancouver is awesome!

Being single affords me some luxuries...some.

I'll have some pics up before winter I'm sure. Tschüß!

Beautiful color! I'd like to see that color on my 359's.

No doubt! Can you imagine the sales BWM would make if they offered a tinted finish on their 359's?

I have seen the color in person and it's gorgeous. I just ordered some HRE's and would have chosen that finish if I thought it would look good with SSII.

What did you order? The dude I sold my last P43sc's too has a SSII. The brushed tinted looks great on his M3. I've got a SSII now so we'll see how brushed titanium looks on it here shortly. To me it looks about the same except it's a matte vs gloss thing from what I can tell.

18" HRE R40's in satin black. I have tried 3 sets of silver wheels, bronze, and black wheels on my SSII car. Black looks the best without a doubt. The trim, grills / gills, mesh, etc is all black. There is no brushed metal or any other color present on the car. The only other wheel color that I would like to try is Volk's mag blue because of the blue tint to SSII. I also like R40's in black because they are reminiscent of the fall-line and rum-bum racing M3 wheels (HRE R43).

Brushed titanium looks incredible! Saw it IRL on a white E90 with 40SC. Was going to copy the finish on my ZCP's but ended up getting HRE's instead. I'm highly considering refinishing the centers of my C20's in that finish later down the road.

Note the car had brake dust from our mountain run.
