HRE Wheels

I have to tell you guy's after going to HRE today how impressed I am with their entire operation. I have known them for over 8 years and the evoloution that has taken place with the company is amazing. They have assembled a group of dedicated professionals who are car guy's like us. Their chief designer Chad, is quickly becoming one of the top wheel designers in the industry. Years ago I was pushing them to develop ultra hi performance light wheels. The use of Titanium and super strong light alloys and cutting edge computer design are now in full use. My GT-3 Cup wheels made such an improvement, it was the best money I spent on my RS bang for the buck. I am fortunate to live 30 min. from the factory. This needed to be said. There is no question in my mind they are the most advanced wheel company in the US and their wheels are as good as it gets not only in look's but performance. They are a complete company now, always moving forward. I am proud to be associated with them as a customer. Best to all, Steve

I love the wheels on the black series, much more like it. I prefer those over the 20" monoblocks, they look more at home.

I have a couple of sets for my car, 540R's and C21's and they really are awesome. I had a issue with the finish discoloring on my 540's while they were still under warranty. I sent them back and they stripped and refinished the wheels including a polish and shipped them back for free. So their customer service is second to none. The wheels came back looking amazing to say the least. These guys have got it together!

I've dealt with all kinds of companies in the aftermarket industry and having known the guys @ HRE for years now, I'd have to say as you mentioned, they def. have it together...they're basically the "Nordstroms" of tuning when it comes to customer service - absolutely stellar, not to mention their product and design is excellent. Hats off.

Interesting. Are the C90's modified C21's then? I havent heard of the C90's until now.

Come on guys, pics of the C90 series have been around since November SEMA show already! Here is a picture i took of them at SEMA.

From my understanding with Guy, (HRE can correct me if i am wrong). The main difference between the C20 series and the C90 series is the C90 series are a little lighter and stronger and they have more bolts around the wheel. Also, they eliminated the 6 spoke wheel and now have a 5 spoke.
