Default New pictures of my car on HRE 445R 19s

Here they are.. the long awaited and overdue pictures.

This is my Supra on HRE 445R 19x9.5/11s. The wheels are brushed aluminum and I couldn't be happier with the outcome! Please feel free to give your two cents...

And if you are looking, Wheel Kinetics is an authorized master HRE distributor. Please email me for quotes. Thanks!

Dennis: The car looks fabulous!
I've always had a thing for the 445R (this wheel was my 'baby'), and they look incredible on the car. I'd say the fitment is "perfect!"

No word on the 305/25zr19 yet- my contact at Pirelli will be available this week (I was geting e-mail automated responses): Pirelli is moving to Georgia (from Connecticut), and I think they're just getting up & running in GA this week. You still need a pair?

Keep up the great work!

Wow, looks nice...LOVE that color! So, did you notice any "performance" loss with 19's?

I love the 445R! I'm not sure why it doesn't have much support quite frankly. Everyone seems to put them up against the 540s, but frankly I think I like the 445R more than the 545/R. It's a different, modern design.

I may be interested in the 305s.. let me know if you get a line on them. Thanks!

I'm not sure. The wheels were fit with 305s in mind and I would have to do a lot of measuring to see if 315s would fit. hummm

Thanks! I like the color when it looks blue.. the color is very shifty.

As far as the performance loss, the car makes ~802 ft lbs.. It's hard to notice. I don't believe it lost anything. The tire diameter is slightly less than with the 18s.

802 ft lbs...uh, yeah...I think that'll pretty much cover any weight you may have gained on the wheels!

That's an INSANE amount of torque!! Makes my 325 ft. lbs. look rather...well, PATHETIC!!

WHERE IS MY FORCED INDUCTION SOLUTION?!

I guess I just have to wait....and wait...and wait...
