MRR HR2 Silver 19s Staggered on 2009 Lexus IS250

Here we have another satisfied local customer who wanted to change up the look of her (yes I said her, women fix up their cars too!) brand new 2009 Lexus IS250. Her search for wheels ended when she saw the clean and sporty look of the MRR HR2 in the silver/polished finish. We went with the staggered set up which consists of 19×8.5 +35mm and 19×9.5 +45mm and wrapped them in 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 Falken FK452 tires. The HR2′s totally set the car off but we weren’t done yet. Our customer wanted the car to handle even better so we installed Eibach Pro-Kit lowering springs which drops the car 1.4″ front and 1″ rear. Next we will be installing Hotchkis Sway Bars front and rear. Stay tuned…

Vertini Hennessey Staggered 19s on 2005 Audi S4 Convertible

Who says you can’t do staggered on all wheel drive cars?? Thats what the dealership will tell you but trust us, IT WORKS and it looks DAMN GOOD!!!!! This customer came to us because he was unhappy with his current 19″ wheels that were bent and shaking pretty bad at freeway speeds. Instead of spending upwards of $500-700 on getting the wheels repaired he began to look for a new alternative. So the hunt was on for some new wheels. He decided that the Vertini Hennessey was the one he liked best. His previous rims were the ever so popular “mesh” style and he wanted to get away from that and try something new. You can never go wrong with the Black w/Machined Face finish and Chrome Stainless Steel Lip, no matter what color car, it ALWAYS looks awesome!!!!! This set up couldn’t have worked out better. It sat nice and flush without sticking out past the fenders and most importantly it cleared the larger brakes this S4 has. Another successful install by elementwheels.com and more importantly another satisfied customer!!

The specs on the wheels and tires are:

19×8.5 +35mm offset with 235.35.19 Nitto NT555′s

19×9.5 +39mm offset with 265.30.19 Nitto NT555′s
