Please take a look at this video that was recently shot at our facility by streetfire. It gives an in-depth look at the engineering and production of HRE wheels.

That was great, thanks for sharing!

Side note: One thing I've always wished HRE did was powdercoat the barrels. IMO, that should be standard on such high end wheels, and optional to leave them unfinished for weight savings.

Thank you all for taking the time to view the video and provide us with the positive comments!

Mike, to answer your question the Competition series is our lightest offering, followed by the Monobloks. The 19" Competition wheels for Porsche weigh below 20 lbs in the front, and the rears will be slightly over 20 Lbs. We actually now offer 20" Competition series wheels (which will be available at the beginning of December) which will weigh in the 20-21 lb range for Porsche.

Thanks for a kind reply...Competition in 20s sounds perfect to ME...I havent seen them in real life but what is the best looking wheel it this range for 997 TT ???

Of course everyone has their own tastes but still...19s looked too small in Comp series in 19s, so u cant really judge...

All of those models Comp model that are in 19s will be availible in 20s ???

Can they be done in Titanum finish or Carbon fiber in the middle or other finishes expect brushed, silver and black ???

Only the C90 styles (C90, C93, C95, C97) will be offered in 20"

The nice thing about the 20" Porsche turbo fitment is the tire sizing availability (245 front and 325 rear) but the look is certainly a personal opinion.

As far as finish goes, we offer gloss black, satin black, textured black, gloss charcoal, textured charcoal, brushed, silver or we can get into some colors. We don't wrap the wheels in carbon fiber, but we can also powdercoat the inners and outers if you like.
