I am thinking about swapping my rims out for something a little differnt in style, but also brand. Will these rims even fit on a 645?

Front
HRE (5,7, or 8)90RWheel 21x11.0
Rear
HRE (5,7, or 8)90R Wheel 21x12.0

OR

Front
HRE (5,7, or 8)90R Wheel 21x12.0
Rear
HRE (5,7, or 8)90R Wheel 21x13.0

They do also have them in smaller off set sizes.

I would get them in a gun metal, black or a brushed aluminum finish.

Yeah they will be ordered custom like most every HRE is. They have fitments for the 6 series but not that wide. 8.5-9" front and 10.5" in the rear. Also these will cost a lot. I was quoted 5,600 for just the rims. These were 20" monoblock p40s.

you'll definitely have to do some mods to make those fit...

Let us know if you decide to sell the Asanti's.

Actually, a local rim shop said that they will swap me for the rims, depending on which rims I get it will either be a straight across trade, or possibly me paying a little out of my pocket.

But if he decides to stiff me on the price, I will def. put these up for sale for any takers.

I am going to tray and see if he will also take my OEM rims off my hands in exchange for possibly some springs and a Britalman full cat system, but we will see.

Those are also up for sale, but I only have 3 rims and tires as I gave one away in exchange for my current Asanti's =)

Yeah I really want to get HRE rims but they are expensive.

I really wish my 22" Asanti rims would fit with my KW coilovers but they won't :( They fit great on the stock struts so they would have been fine with lowering springs. I'm going to put them up for sale and have to order new custom sized rims. Sucks.

yikes that definitly sucks... is it just those coilovers or does lowering it with 22's cause rubbing period.


I plan to get 21's possibly 20's if needed, but does anyone know exaclty how large of an offset you can go front and rear on a 645 with out rubbing or needing to modify. I plan to drop it with some H&R Springs so i would need to consider that as well, leave the suspension as is also is an option.

It's the coilovers. The spring/spring perch rubs against the rim. I have to spacers with my stock sport elipsoids. I love the coilovers too much to get rid of them :D. A 22" rim would be fine with a different offset made just for the KW coilovers. Well someone will get my rims at a steal of a price and I get to order custom rims and spend a fortune. Win win situation haha.

This is when I installed the coilovers and discovered the rims no longer fit. Also when I discovered the stock rims didn't fit either :mad: my car was sitting for a week until my spacers came.

They look sweet as hell. They are the AF 154 painted monaco blue which looks almost black. They are 22x9" and 22x 10.5". Tires are 265/30/22 and 295/25/22. Tires have a good amount of tread left. I bought them used and never go to use them :(. They also have OEM tpms sensors in them. The rims could be re-painted any color for under $100 a rim and the TPMS sensors could be pulled out and sold at that point since your car doesn't need them. That could cover the re-painting.
