No problem HRE has been strong in Motorsport for long time, just not good at telling the story. I would personally say HRE is really not bling at all, just the nature of having a high quality wheel brand. HRE is foremost a performance driven wheel company.

 

no problem Lon...I honestly had no idea and I know a lot of performance folks out East like me think the same way, out here HRE is seen as nothing but bling but now I know that is not the truth... you should throw a set of your performance wheels on my '02 996 GT2 and I'll sing your praises all day long at the car shows and events I goto... promo the "real HRE story" for the masses out here... whaddya say!

 

Ha, wish I could make that happen. I got my friends 996TT sitting in NJ storage for the last 3 years Only has 9k miles on it.

But your right, HRE has been into motorsport for long time, just people dont associate it.

 

lol worth a shot Lon hey ya never know, worth asking right! Def some nice performance wheels you guys have...keep up the good work!!

 

was that an attempt at a re-direct Of topic or an attempted apology?

Lon's stuff is top shelf IMO.

 

For sure one of the best looking GT3s , keep it up

 

lol not really apologizing ...I honestly thought that HRE just made bling wheels...on the East coast (mid to North Atl) that's all you see on a lot of the big SUVs and blinged out show cars, on the rap videos, mentioned in rap songs etc...etc...

I've known Seth since back in our club racing days before he and James went WC and now GA racing...so hr and guys like Lon mentioned running the HRE brand in competition really validated the wheels for me...

trust me I'm not the only one who (until recently) had this mindset about HRE wheels...if they are focused on track and racing their marketing surely is not getting that point accross to the masses, for sure not where I am at or my region in the US...

 

No apology necessary. Just glad you know now

 

Just wondering, how much is the center lock conversion kit for a 997 GT3?

Conversion from your 5 lug to centerlock? You don't want to do It honestly, not worth it. The cost is insane as well.

 

Sorry, but those wheels do not belong on a GT3. I really dislike white on white, hello Don Johnson and Miami Vice. Also, too much shine on the lips and not enough spacing between the inner webbing, imo, of course. And, change those orange turn signal lenses to clear; it's blinding! This is a GT3 not a Benz for God's sake.

 

Boy...and they call Benz people snobs. Too funny to comment.

 

Sorry, trying for the dramatic!

Do love the Benz in avatar though!

 

That was one lucky shot. That old car is a work in progress. I'm hoping to find a white 997 to put in the garage with it.
