yes they are TPMS compatible..I'm running 10mm spacers front to clear the brake calipers... and 5mm to make it as flush as the front.

do you have is250 or is350? on the 250 it would clear fine without spacers, for the 350 you would need at least 8mm in front..

so are you saying HRE is the first company to come up with this design? if so, then the T1S is a replica too..

Perhaps? I think the T1S came out in 2007 and from some google searches i found a posting from early 2007 too.. Who knows they might have thought of the same design at the same time?

Plus HRE's cost like 2 times more then Works!

The color is silver.. and to be exact.. according to the vendor, the finish is called machined with clearcoat.

How much do these wheels weigh? Are they comparable to the Work's in weight? How much heavier are these wheels compared to the stock 18's?
