HRE Rims.

What do you guys think about the HRE 3peice, forged rims? I like the way they look but they are really expensive.

Re: HRE Rims.

They're worth it. HRE 540's are one of my favorite lineups. The new 800 series are nice too.

Re: HRE Rims.

i have HRE s on my sedan and i think they were well worth it. they are hub centered to fit my car, and finish is unmatchable. thats just my opinion.. i used to have hre s on my old car too,(lexus is300). and i loved those 2.

Re: HRE Rims.

Damn those are sweet!! I have been drooling over those rims for a while - doubt that I'll be able to afford them until next spring though. Are those 19s or 20s? How much?

Re: HRE Rims.

The above picture is not my G, I took it from LA RIMs website. BTW if your looking for a good wheel dealer, LA RIMs is the place. Hovo is a straight forward guy.

Re: HRE Rims.

You'll loose 2.111115 h.p. per pound of wheel weight. Seriuosly, your ride may slow down a fractional amount, but to loose power deals with the engine.

Re: HRE Rims.

so does this mean that a regular 17 inch rim that weighs about 18-20 pounds you loose 42.2223 horsepower for each rear tire a total of 84 horsepower .... not sure .. if you could explain it would help all of us to choose wheels ... thanks again
