The HRE wheels

Here are some weight examples:
Forged Aluminum Wheel Weight:
19” x 9” = 23 lbs.
19” x 12” = 26 lbs.

HRE Carbon Series
19” x 9” = 17 lbs.
19” x 12” = 20 lbs.

And here is where I found it, http://www.motorator.com/blog/genera...-series-wheels

Okay Guys please don't take offence to my next comments. You boys really need to think outside of the "BOX"

First off I dare you to buy really carbon fiber wheels and actually drive them on the street. If you goal is to have the look and actually use the car, not a trailer queen or track car then this is the best alternative.

So please don't be offended just need to see that there is actual value to doing this.

Also don't forget you can do this at what a 1/4 the cost of actually carbon wheels. So unless your have tons of money this is once again a great choice.

sorry guys my intentions were not to offend anyone but just a personal opinion on the wrap of the wheels. the reason why I say that is because I have seen other wheels with it and it just looks wrong at 5' or closer.

but if you like them hey put them on who cares what other people think

and yes I would say there is a big price difference. not an expert by any means but those carbon fiber wheels I would bet they can perform as well if not better than.
im sure incase you hit a sidewalk at 75mph they are going to suffer total damage but on regular road I would drive those all day long ( if I could afford them)

Im personally looking for some carbon fiber spinners LOL

Seriously how is this any different than the kind of thing people like giving crap to a ricer for? Looks like advance auto upgrades when you realize its not real! If you see a Type R emblem on a dodge neon you snicker don't ya?

Sorry I just do NOT see the value add in this like you wanted me to... it does not reduce weight, make the car go faster, stop quicker, turn sharper, etc... it is just cosmetic kind of like a Type R badge.

I didn't mean offend anyone. I just wanted to show everyone that HRE had carbon fiber wheels as well and that look sweet not they're not expensive, just that they're cool. No offence to the forgelines because they are hot too.

Truely no offence taken.

I agree there are ricer cars that are all about looking good sitting still. In this case if the desired goal is to have a functional street car and you really want a modification but it just isn't practical for the street. Then you have to find a way to make it work.

Trust me the car that these wheels are going on is no poser.

ps I love you guys !!!!
