HRE banned...

check this out... http://forums.audiworld.com/lrqc/msgs/41036.phtml

in both series due to too many failures.

NINE, yes NINE failures in one race weekend Vipers.

Apparently the PCA is on their way to banning HRE's as well.

The racers have always called them "Fools Fashion" and i thought that was a little rough until I started seeing them fail at track events and how easily they bend and corrode.

Then, after Leslie had problems with hers corroding and I spoke with one of the owners, I realized quickly they were WAY out of reality as to strength and design.

Wasn't really surprised that they were banned (was at the meeting), but was surprised at ALL the problems reported.

Unreal for such an expensive wheel.

Apparently tolerances are sooooo poor that the tires often rotate on the wheels themselves as the rims are often slightly too small.

 

I always considered HRE wheels as fashion wheels for the rich... or at least the image. Lots of descriminating owners.

Not really for racing. Im sure they're fine for street.

 

Knowing how the internet is...this is going to hit HRE big with all the negativity.

 

BBS are the racing wheel. OZ makes alot of race car wheels. I am talking about purpose built race cars. (indy car, irl, F1, GTP, etc)

 

 

why in the hell did they use HRE for race..and bitch about it.i say this is come directly from HRE's competition

 

Here is the pic of Kinesis wheel.

This is pretty scary.

 

Here is a pic of HRE with Crack

 

HRE's are more show/street wheels than racing, right?

 

OMG, that is scary

 

My aplogizes. That is a pic of Kinesis.
