Who to purchase HRE's from?
I am looking for HRE 593R, 590R or the comp 21 (19in) in 20in for a 997 NB.
Would like a brushed finished with chrome lip or a satin black finish with chrome lip.
If you can give me a quote, please send it my way.
TIA
Frank

Actually doesn't much matter.
HRE sets a minimum sale price, and any dealer that sells under that will be punished. (This is done under the theory that maintaining high prices will ensure that you, the consumer, will receive the best support- and that low prices will actually hurt consumers.)
This theory is supposed to prevent "internet sales" and make it a toss up to visit you local shop to get one-on-one support there.
Problem is (a) many places there are no 'local dealers', (b) their prices are MSRP, (c) you know more than they do about the wheels, offsets, etc, and (d) you get hit with sales tax.
Best you can do is buy out of state and avoid sales tax. I am pretty sure 10% off of MSRP is the minimum HRE permits.

I have had great experiences with Wheels Boutique in Miami and they are a sponsor.
