I have not made up my mind on wheels yet, but I agree the pricing can be annoying. These Volks appear to be the same 1 piece forged wheels, are even lighter, are made in Japan, and are only $3,000:

Interesting Video on the making of 1 piece forged wheels:

Peter, which wheels are on the Porsche in your signature?

Thanks.

 

Modulare M2 in brushed 20"

 

Thanks, you probably don't remember me, but I bought my HRE 448's from you back in July of 2003 for my M3. I'm on here gathering data for what hopefully will be my next car. I will be back for more wheels then too.

Thanks again.

Yes, I do remember you...it was a carbon black car wasn't it? Anyhow, good luck with the new car!

 

You are correct.

 

Great looking wheel but $6,200 for 1 piece, wow...I mean they def. look better than volk TE-37's, thats for sure. I would love to see these in a 3 piece with a flat fat lip. I think the 3 piece would look sick and justify the $6,200 hunsky price tag...Are they going to make a 3 piece for this application???

 

wheels look great!

 

Have you not seen the other HRE wheels? They have the 893R, 593R and C21. All of those wheels are the similar style only are 3pc.

 

I responded to your thread earlier but I think a moderator deleted my post. I guess I can't talk about where HRE sends there wheels for paint lol.

 

very clean, nice wheel.

 

These are the only HRE wheels that I'd even remotely consider getting for my 997TT! I really do like these!
