Anyone here on the boards or know of anyone who owns a tC that has
HRE wheels on them? I've always wanted a set of these rims personally.
Well, with the influence of all my buddies who all have M3's with rims
from this company also.

If you don't know what I'm talking about... here.





They ARE pricey, but I still love em'.




ALSO....



Anyone know what rims are these?
I saw this picture on the http://www.viniati.com website browsing around
for bodykits and I happened to stumble upon this image under the
Obsidian V2 Flex Fiber Wide Body Kit

Not alot of people other then some are willing to drop 3-4 grand on some wheels on there Tc, most ive ever seen are on show cars that require really wide rims, like the blue one you have pictured here. I love HRE's........who cares if they are pricey, they are true works of art and worth every penny.

i heard HRE's only make wheels if you request/order to them, they will make you custom set of HRE for your particular car.... and it cost like 3 to 5 grand

Do they come with a knife and can opener, too?

don't get the hre's.......I Forge wheels are the same thing for less. It's not a knock off company either. The guys that own I Forge left HRE because of some dispute or something like that and started I Forge http://www.iforged.com/v3/wheels.php check them out.

They look like painted Hres on the blue tc. Not sure tho. Look at the emblem closely. I believe HRE makes wheels that look like that.

the lip also resembles a HRE wheel. compare it with the wheels you have posted. They both have "step-like" lips.

yeah, i forged rims are good wheels, so are j_line redgernie and a long list of others........

honestly when you spend 4 grand on wheels another thousand is not going to matter when it comes to forged mulit peice. the only down side of multipeice forged rims is that they are high maintance. You need to torque the bolts every so often, and they tend to leak.......
my neighbor has some asanti 3 peice rims on his M3 and he is constantly taking the car into the wheel shop to get his nuts torqued......i know it sounds bad LOL

Thanks for the responses guys.

I have another question.

Anyone else suggest a company that sells rims
with nice looking lips like those? I'm interested in
the deep-dish look.

ryphlex

tC9o9

ryphlex

Hmmm.

What do you guys think about the Axis Wide Tracks?

I saw this on an xB here on the forums and I was wondering
how they would look on a BSP tC.

Photoshop anyone?








*EDITTT: Mods, feel free to move this to the Wheel & Tire section if you must (:

tC9o9

i have seen them on a tC..

imho they dont look good, they look small

ryphlex

I was kind of thinking that they would, but if anyone
can post pictures or something, it would be great.

tC9o9

i dont think hre's make wheels in the 5x100 application

and note that they're pretty heavy

SquallLHeart

... HREs are pretty much all custom-made wheels.. thus why they're so expensive... so yes.. i'm sure they make 5x100

they're mostly show.. i doubt you'll want to run multi-thousand dollar rims on the track risking any damage to them. though.. i do believe they make competition rims. still... expensive.
