Just heard about some new 1-piece forged wheels from HRE for Porsche wide-body (996 and 997) applications. These wheels are currently available in 8.5x19” and 11x19” sizes, the offsets are 51mm and 35mm, respectively. They are available in two finishes -- brushed & clear coated and silver powder coated -- and will accept a Porsche Factory center cap, TPMS sensors and lug bolts. They are light as well.....front weighs ~21.5 lbs and the rear weighs ~ 25 lbs. I believe Wheel Enhancement has them in stock.

I've also been told that these wheels will be available in 9x20" and 12x20" sizes for the 997 wide-body cars.

What do you guys think?

 

I like the first one-tasty!

 

Those actually look a lot better than the usual blingy HRE stuff.

 

Finally some non bling wheels from them. I am curious about their strength though.

 

Those look exactly like the line they built "exclusively" for Mercedes Benz. They are Un-Godly expensive.

 

First wheel looks great.

 

I really like the second one.

 

Blingy in design or finish? They have lots of different finishes...I went to the factory with a bunch of 6spders months ago....it was impressive to say the least.

Id like to see what the 2nd wheel looks like on a 996tt

 

2nd one reminds me of this, just with more spokes...

 

Love the 1st ones.

 

first ones are really HOT.

 

interesting rims.......

 

I kinda like them, at least something diff from HRE.

 

They are actually beautiful wheels especially since the spokes reach all the way to the outer tip of the rims lip giving the illusion of a larger wheel.

 

Good looking wheels. I'm a huge fan of the Champion Monolites.
