The HRE R40 Wheel: Light & Strong for the Track

He guys, we first used the HRE R40 Monoblok wheel on our 996GT3 3.9 project for some great weight savings. For those of you looking to get some 18s on with some race rubber that will clear your brakes as well take a look at the R40 track weight reduction example. Here's another car we did this week:♠

Mounted on some 18 inch Toyos:


Fronts:


Rears finished in satin charcoal:

Ready to go home:

You can do a 12 in the same fashion as the GT3. Then a 315...

What is the weight of these compared to the O.Z. Alleggerita HLT in the same size?

Nevermind, just clicked the link and saw the weights.
