HRE Wheels, Volk equivalents?

HRE = prestige. Is that what you're after? Less price for Volks and get more for your money.

I already have the best looking Rays for the 370Z IMO! It will be nice to have two sets of good rims. First thing I will do is get them repaired and powder coated. Maybe get a set of track tires

Since I wasn't sure which center cap that I would be getting with my wheels on order, I called up HRE to see. Customer service picked up the phone immediately, and then I was transferred to a voice mailbox. Two minutes later my call was returned and Antonio had no problem switching from the red, white and blue to the black and silver caps. I also requested if they could send me some pictures of the wheels during production, which was no problem, and which I will share here.

I have heard that their customer service is excellent, which was very evident during this encounter.

Feeling pretty good with my decision to go with them.

Stay tuned!

My HREs have arrived!

They shipped chrome lug nuts instead of black ones (which they are overnighting), but since my car isn't blacked out (yet) and I have those nice shiny Z1 rotors and silver/black center caps I might just use the chrome.

Later when I color match all the chrome pieces to the wheels I will switch over to the black lug nuts.

I won't have these installed for a couple of weeks since we still usually have snow well into April.

With Michelin PSS's on these I am going to get the exact look that I wanted. I am giddy with excitement for both

Last weekend I had them mounted and they are glorious!!!

However, it has rained pretty much every day between now and then, so these pictures don't do them justice as I need to give them a proper cleaning for close-ups:







Better pictures to come!
