HRE Wheels | Daily Shop Life - Pictures inside HRE Performance Wheels' Facility
http://www.hrewheels.com/img/Logo.jpg HRE Performance Wheels, over the last 30 years, has been designing, engineering and manufacturing top-tier quality wheels in the automotive industry. That you may already know, but what you may not know or what you may not see is what we do here on a (daily/weekly) basis, and that's our intention with this thread. We want to invite you to take a look at some photos that we have posted up of things that we have going on around the shop! For those who are unable to come and visit us during our open house that we have, this thread is an opportunity to get another view inside HRE Performance Wheels, and to see all the fun things we're working on in the process. 1-Piece wheel in the process of being machined https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1509/2...f59091a1_o.gif 3-Piece center in the process of being machined (S204 Wheel) https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1699/2...14a6a5e8_o.gif A couple of our 4-axis Toyoda machines putting in some work! https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1659/2...a18b74a7_b.jpg Front row of our hard working machines, which keep pumping thanks to our hard working employees :) https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1678/2...e40c730b_b.jpg Some of our mills just behind the front row https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1650/2...cb0eb53d_b.jpg Some of our 3-piece forgings in the foreground, and to the right you can see some of the 1-piece forgings https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1645/2...2042302b_b.jpg P101 Wheels made for a Ferrari La Ferrari https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1456/2...1c0c305f_b.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1466/2...a0ba697f_b.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1468/2...75d4d6f1_b.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1540/2...9aaea280_b.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1600/2...72d4f1c0_b.jpg S204 Centers after getting brushed (not cleaned yet so they appear dirty) https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1464/2...debd3450_b.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1565/2...9f4622d4_b.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1522/2...ed43fca1_b.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1697/2...6e0f05a3_b.jpg HRE P101 Wheels out from being hand brushed https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1593/2...340908ce_b.jpg P40SC's and some P101's look to be ready to ship out soon https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1488/2...7cf2d43a_b.jpg Couple sets of R101's for track use! https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1468/2...11847fb5_b.jpg S101 Centers after machining One thing you may notice is that the spokes are thicker, this is because they are going onto an SUV, therefore the load rating has to be higher to make sure they can take the abuse https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1691/2...7f64f14b_b.jpg If you have any requests for things you want to see around the shop, just post your request and I'll see what I can do! Thanks for checking us out and subscribe if you want to see updates on more of what goes on at HRE Performance Wheels! |
Other than us, you're now one of the first to see some details on the S204 wheel, one of our most unique and complex wheels. Machining times are insane on these, but you can see from the detail of the angles of the spoke, why it takes more time. Truly is a thing of beauty: S204 being machined: https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1699/2...14a6a5e8_o.gif Taking a quick peek inside: https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1485/2...133cd958_b.jpg Out of machining: https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1622/2...42f5de6c_b.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1695/2...d2086be8_b.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1489/2...42426aea_b.jpg Out of powdercoating: https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1557/2...e17e4478_b.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1512/2...6a062d66_b.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1627/2...1f1be090_b.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1643/2...a243d401_b.jpg Thanks for taking a look :) |

This is just too good not to share with everyone else. We just completed a set of R101 Wheels for a Porsche GT4 Clubsport in 18x9/18x10.5, and we're very pleased with the weight as you can tell! Front 18x9 weighs in at 16.8Lbs Rear 18x10.5 weighs in at 19.0Lbs https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1662/2...c5d09ed1_b.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1643/2...e8aa79a5_b.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1506/2...a7d48344_b.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1604/2...32fd87a5_b.jpg :D |

A set of P103's and a set of P107's just after being brushed - Note - the little specs of dirt here and there are from the brushing process. These wheels aren't clear coated yet prior to being cleaned, but you can really see the grain structure of the brushing here: https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1577/2...ac277eea_b.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1694/2...0e5f60f3_b.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1491/2...85ed0c7e_b.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1611/2...d2709d63_b.jpg Thanks for looking! |
