tuningblog.eu Your magazine about tuning the car
What would you do if you have always liked the classic ALPINA wheels but you really want to drive a Benz? Buy adapter plates and tinker these things somehow? You one Alpina buy even though you are a Mercedes fan? Probably not ... But you could look in the accessories section to see if there is a supplier in the tuning area who offers a wheel set for your Benz that takes on the classic Alpina design without being a clumsy copy. And what first thought comes to mind when you dive into tuning? For the general public, including myself, there is the sporty, sound-rich exhaust, the lowered chassis and of course a significantly increased performance (Chiptuning etc.) are high on the list of priorities. Tuning also means that the vehicle should receive a highly personal touch. The viewing angle of each individual vehicle owner is just as individual. Although statistics are mostly incidental, they should not be underestimated. After all, we are talking here of 60% of all Tuningbegeisterten who first granted their car a new set of wheels and later dealt with the further measures such as chip tuning, etc. In comparison, the dimensions of the replaced rims are at least 1 inches above the sizes of the factory-original rims.
HRE rims & subtly lower
The often extremely price-intensive investment hardly leaves any deterrent marks because it actually pays off in retrospect and the design of the car is then presented in a remarkably new shine. The decisive factor for the highly frequented exchange of wheel sets is likely to be, among other things, the mass suitability of the standard rims, which are often presentable. However, the manufacturer orients itself more towards the large target groups and less towards the individualists. On top of that, the rim selection is made using the manufacturer's configurator, which of course was also the case with this black Mercedes-Benz S400 of the type W222.
If you put your vehicle together using a configurator, there is ultimately hardly any space for an unmistakable uniqueness. However, there is still a possibility to swim against the current and to be able to detach yourself from the general public. The plan B of the owner of the S400 includes a look at the range of HRE Performance Wheels. Thanks to the perfect combination, the piece of jewelery is now presented even better with a HRE Performance Wheels Classic 309M wheel set in silver and the size 22 inches. Visually, the rims tend very much towards Alpina wheels I think and the logo looks very similar, at least from afar. Nevertheless, it is not a replica but an independent rim design I think, what do you think? The additional modifications that can be seen in the pictures, such as the subtle lowering, make the production model an impressive eye-catcher. Of course, the S400 also owes the newly gained dynamism and the even sportier driving experience to the 309M wheelset. No wonder, because the rims from HRE are not only known in tuner circles for their first-class quality and, above all, for an exquisite range of products. With these respectable alternatives, the standard wheelsets are quickly overshadowed by the new rims. Further information on tuning measures carried out on the W222 can only be found in the photos and what the tuner has published.
