Default Any Pics Of HRE 543's On A GS 2nd Gen.

Was just wondering if anyone had pics of a 2nd gen. GS with 543's. I like the wheel, can't picture it on the car.

The R has the straight lip design, the normal one has a stepped lip design.

Richie,
That's what I've read, but I can't tell the diif. by the pics I've come across, guess you have to see them in person. The R sounds better. Thanks.........

IMO, the R looks a bit larger. I like them better.

yes the r looks bigger coz' the center piece is actually an inch bigger in size. if you get the R, the lip is totally flat. but if you look at the normal non-R, there is a "step" on the lip, meaning it has two "levels" to it. so it makes the wheels look smaller

and the R, of course, carries a higher price tag

Manaray...... Very Nice
Do you live in the LA area? I could have swore that you passed me on I-5 when I was driving my car home from the dealer. All I remember was a Blk,GS passing me that had the same profile as your car. I was very Impressed!!!!!.......

richie, just noticed your profile? no longer in the netherlands or what? and you've met manaray out in LA?

woody, as far as the difference, rominl started a long thread about the differences in R and classic. just go back one or two pages in the wheels forum

I'm still here in The Netherlands, but the system only lets me put in International.
I met a couple of CL guys when I was in LA last November. Had a great time.
