HRE Wheels are Forged, and in every aspect of the production process is uncompromised. Our wheels come from the best high quality T6-6061 Forged aluminum to give us strength, and where we remove weight is in the design itself also with side cuts, and backpad pocketing as well. Designing a structure of a wheel to remain rigid yet strong is an art, which is why we spend a significant amount of time on each design prior to bringing it to the market which is why we have been so successful in the wheel manufacturing industry for nearly 40 years now.

If our wheels are good enough for the newest Gumpert Apollo Arrow with 1000HP which you see below, or countless Underground Racing 1800RWHP Lamborghini Gallardo's (see video below that), then it's going to be plenty of strength and light to give you what your car deserves, which is not only strong, light, but also has some style too.




Also the OEM 20x7.5 weighs 24lbs (which by the way is VERY narrow), where as an HRE P101 wheel in 20x8.5 (so a full inch wider) weighs 19.80lbs (approximate depending on offsets required).
