New Vintage Series

Like many timeless items beauty grows with age; for example the original Gibson Les Paul Custom, a 1988 Ferrari F40 and the Leica M5. While some designs merely grow older, others grow cooler. With that in mind, HRE is proud to offer a sneak peek of its Vintage Line – three designs from the brand’s 34-year history, completely re-engineered with modern 3-piece forged wheel technology for today’s sports and super cars.

“The process of recreating vintage designs that captured the style and essence of the originals was very exciting and challenging for all of us at HRE,” said HRE Wheels President Alan Peltier. “These designs take us all back to the ‘70’s and ‘80’s when we were kids falling in love with exotics for the first time and truly becoming car lovers. Capturing all the character and magic of these designs, while ensuring they fit modern super cars and met our current engineering standards, made the project tougher than simply creating replicas of the original cast wheels. We found inspiration in those original designs but created wheels that reflect the HRE of today; wheels that are truly inspired.”

All three models available in HRE’s Vintage Line have been reengineered with modern FEA analysis for maximum strength, machined from aerospace-grade forged alloy and hand-finished to every customer’s exact specifications. Models available include the 454 (classic Italian style five-window), the 501 (mesh lace) and the 505 (thick five spoke) in 18 through 20 inch diameters and widths ranging from 7 to 14 inches. Nearly unlimited finish options are available, from classic gold, bronze and polished centers and rims to hand-brushing and custom tinted colors.

This series is specifically designed for customers looking for a classic design backed by modern engineering. Popular applications could include the BMW 1M and M3, Porsche 997 and 991, a variety of current Ferrari and Lamborghini models and other popular European, Japanese and domestic sports and luxury cars.

i don`t know why but i`m kinda loving this!

 

I think the lanbo looks best. I would try those wheels on the 458 on an FF

 

Love the Ferrari Wheels!

 

Dunno, love the vintage styles on the cars OEM, but the whole throwback wheel on a current model doesn't do it for me.

 

BBS wheels => BMW 3 series

 

I like the look.

I wonder how much they weigh, though. They appear a bit heavy.

 

Now that you say that they do look heavy. I actually love those wheels on the Aventador. Old school countach style. The more and more I look at that car the more I love it. Yellow looks great on it too. Do you have anymore pics of it OP? Or is it a photoshop?

 

Wheels aside I am really liking the oval exhaust tips on the base 991.

 

I'm kinda diggin the throw back designs!

 

A bit too "80's" for my personal tastes. The mesh wheels on the Porsche were seen on nearly ever car made back then.

Just my. 02 cents.. no flaming necessary.

 

classic look with new technology....a win...

 

Has anyone seen pricing info yet? I think i'd like a set of 501's on my Buick.

 

Love them...especially the BBS mesh style....
