HRE's current product line is two or three-piece forged, with 6061-T6 forged & CNC'd centers, with cold-rolled outers.
<p>
HRE's current product line gives them the ability provide a fitment solution for almost any application. All of their design and engineering is done in-house, using Pro-Engineer and the latest & greatest finite-element analysis technology. After a wheel design is conceptualized, a program is written for the CNC mills, samples are cut, and radial and cornering load testing is performed by an independent laboratory before the style is available to the general public.
<p>
It is difficult furnish individual weights, as each application has different back pad heights to optimize weight, offset, and brake clearance (many other manufacturers cannot do this, they adjust offset via the rim halves only). Different styles within the same wheel platform and diameter will have differing weights, too. Hopefully, we'll be able to add at least one weight per model for a specific offset/diameter/width wheel.
<p>
Standard assembly bolts are 12.9 stainless steel. HRE is currently sourcing titanium bolts as an option.
<p>
HRE offers many finishes: polished, machine brushed, custom painted, anodized, and chrome, to name a few. Custom power coated or gold plated assembly bolts are available options, as well. HRE currently offers a choice of two different standard center caps, with billet caps available as an option with HRE, Viper, Ferrari, or Lamborghini logos etched into the surface.
