    Even though I could never afford a set of these wheels, I admire them and HRE for making them. Kudos friends.

    We've had HRE in Canada for at least 10 years...which was the time of my first encounter with them - yes they are relatively expensive but are lightweight, are and look well-made and, gorgeous! I didn't realize that they are a small shop...there's certainly nothing about their product to indicate small. Really nice stuff.

    Just bought a car that came with a set of HRE wheels. Never in my life would I ever have been able to afford them. Their so beautiful that some days I just sit in the garage and stare at them.

    It's so great to see a company that is so passionate about their product. For all of the thinking and engineering that goes into each one I think the price is justified.

  • @emeryviazanko6585
    @emeryviazanko6585 11 лет назад

    Great product. We use HRE on all the Corvette show cars. Not a wheel for everyday drive use especially in Detroit with all the pot holes. Great in Florida's smooth roads and freeways. Great job Pres.

    For the people that are tripping out over the price. Forged wheels is very high quality and engineering involved, which is why they're so expensive compared to the $400 cast wheels you buy at Pep Boys. Obviously no one is going to put $20K wheels on a Honda Accord. Clearly, this brand is targeted towards luxury and high performance vehicles.

    • @pr0jectSkyneT
      @pr0jectSkyneT 6 лет назад +2

      I am all for forged but $2.5k for one wheel seems excessive when you can get a forged wheel from, say Volk, for $3000 for all four.

    • @nkmcfrln
      @nkmcfrln 6 лет назад +4

      pr0jectSkyneT Rays manufactures Volk Racing Wheels.
      A Rays VR TE37 Ultra Track Edition is $1300 US which is the same price as HRE’s Series RC1 motorsport wheels.
      You don’t custom order Rays to fit your specific vehicle. You choose from what they make available, are very limited to sizes, and only fit certain vehicles. Three finishes at most and they only produce 1 piece wheels.

    I toured the shop at a combo BMW/Porsche tech seminar. Very impressive to see a factory full of lathes & milling machines. Pricy but I might try the cast set for 3k on my Z06. What I came away with primarily is the TUV certification. With so many heavy & poorly designed wheels being sold in the USA, it surprises me that NHTSA hasn't stepped into this area, not that I'm a big fan of government regs.

  • @raymondmutyaba9323
    @raymondmutyaba9323 10 лет назад

    Why is everyone complaining about the price? Built to order wheels designed to fit the exact measurements of the vehicle and designed to perform under the most extreme road and race conditions cost money. I went to their 2014 open house where he gave a tour of the factory and showed many of his clients cars. Some of these wheels end up on the track on cars like the Porsche GT3 in real races. These are not your average brand name wheels. You pay for performance first and the looks are an added benefit.

    I had HRE Wheels for my Porsche & BMW M5 before, their wheels really make a big different in style and performance. Don't get me wrong, the price is a little outrageous...but, you can't go wrong with HRE :)

    • @JuergenGDB
      @JuergenGDB 8 лет назад

      +DeeJay 7XTC True, but anything forged these days are just about a grand minimum, then you many options which can put each corner from 1K to 5K, and that's not even tires included. I think there is a HUGE difference in the mod market. Those that can afford Forged wheels and those that can not.

      +GalvatronTypeR thats not cast its flow formed, It's lighter and stronger than cast but not to the standards of forged. People use those types of wheels on GT2's so I think your little honda should suffice.

    • @Armen567
      @Armen567 7 лет назад +2

      FF01's shown are Cast Flow Formed, which is different than a regular cast aluminum. BUT... They aren't made in the USA as the video above states... HRE's own website says they're made in Japan.

    • @TheRealChilly
      @TheRealChilly 5 лет назад

      Flow formed wheels are good if you want to step away from cheap cast.

    • @Brofessor17
      @Brofessor17 4 года назад +1

      It’s a flow form cast which now cost 2200-2500 same as bbs flowform wheels. Stronger lighter barrel of the wheel,which is the most important part.

  • @albietbeck

  • @drm9979
    @drm9979 6 лет назад

    I would enjoy seeing Jay interview Forgeline, also a small company, and also made in America. I prefer their wheels, they are at least equally high end, but for a better price than HRE. Forgeline built an absolutely beautiful set of custom wheels, better than I even hoped, for less than $11,000, a far far distance from $50,000. They are in Ohio, not California, where costs are far less.

    • @drm9979
      @drm9979 6 лет назад

      Forgeline's High Tech Machined (HTM) finish is truly tremendous.

  • @surfing636
    @surfing636 11 лет назад

    I like when he shows and explains how it goes from raw stock (Flinstone Wheel) to finished product (powdered coated). The true strength comes from forging the raw stock, instead of pouring hot liquid into molds.

  • @jfoster33702
    @jfoster33702 8 лет назад +8

    Some of you guys....If you can't see the benefit of quality wheels, I don't know what to say to you. Racing teams don't use wheels from HRE, Forgeline and such just because they want to spend extra money. Quality is quality. If you think you're not getting what you pay for, why don't you start your own wheel manufacturing company...since you seem to think these are overpriced?

    • @TassieLorenzo
      @TassieLorenzo 7 лет назад +3

      Umm, V8 Supercars use cast wheels from British manufacturer Team Dynamics as a control part (they used either forged A-Tek aluminum wheels, or cast Speedline magnesium or OZ magnesium wheels before that), while NASCAR uses steel wheels... For the prices HRE are charging they should at least be forged *magnesium* wheels really (like exotic supercars like Ferrari and McLaren come with), but anyhow.

    • @pookysdad4884
      @pookysdad4884 3 года назад

      IF money is no object, and WINNING is the only consideration, they MIGHT be worth it, assuming the driver can exploit the difference. Most drivers aren't good enough to justify the huge cost increase, even if they do it anyway.

  • @johnfiskin4188

      William Seroyer That's what I thought when he said small, like wtf it's HRE!!, lol... actually it is small from employee count standard, I think he said they employe in the 40's count, by company size standards it is considered a small company. I agree this is a large company by reputation, brand, and where it stands in the market as a global leader in performance wheels, but company size he would be right by small.

    HRE has been around since 1978 and hayashi racing the 60's. The HRE 501/504/Techno R came out around or before the same time as the BBS wheel. The wheel you saw is a vintage series forged remake of the 501 style with technology/materials from today.

    Ha, I still have the old original wheels on my 65 Futura convertible, however she has 2 different sets of Ford spinner hubcaps.

    @maximilianboo 11 лет назад

    People dont really understand the concept of HRE. I live in San Diego and I see these wheels a lot, these are the ultimate wheels for performance, looks and quality. I mean race teams use them. The pricing is high, but for their targeted clients its fine. Ive seen a Gti with HRE P44sc on it.. those rims cost about half as much as the car.. in a situation like that its a bit extreme, but each his own. But lets say on an m3 or 458, HREs are perfect!

  • @Nighthawke70

  • @Nayr747
    @Nayr747 11 лет назад

    I understand quality, but I also understand diminishing returns. There are probably minor aesthetic differences between a wheel like the PRF1 and the FF01, but with the HRE wheel you're only getting, say, a 5-10% improvement for 90% more money. And in the end it's still a heavier cast wheel. There's a reason many race teams use the RPF1.

  • @nccrawford
    @nccrawford 11 лет назад

    Many "gold nibbed" Montblancs, but a handcrafted gold nib is standard on a good fountain. Many reasons for it, but a good fountain will actually get better the more YOU use it- you don't want to let others use it regularly, because the nib will over time wear to your writing style/angle and someone else's AOA can cause problems. Check out Montblanc Writer Series. That's my bag. I own most of those.

    I bought a 2005 911S with HRE wheels in 2010, they were so bad a** looking 5 spoke, that everybody and I mean everybody commented that it made the car so sexy it was kinda weird. I had a problem with the wheels leaking air pressure, (the owner left the car in the garage in the garage for 3 years allowing the tires to go flat and corroded) it cost $150 per wheel to reseal at the HRE facility. HRE treats you like royalty and gave me all the attention to make me feel comfortable. I sold my 2005 in 2013 cause I was moving to South lake Tahoe (snow infestation), now I'm looking for a new 997 and I wish I had the wheels, look up the price, now I kick myself for selling it. They were $10K wheels! Bummer...

    How many aftermarket Enkei wheels have you seen on Rolls Royce's, Bentley's, Ferrari's (some F40's, yes), Lambo's, Range Rover's etc? They are both wheel companies but cater to totally different customers. It's like comparing Toyota and Ferrari.. HRE has made a name of themselves and charge big money because they have a great product and most importantly, because they can.

  • @C4Lust
    @C4Lust 11 лет назад

    HRE does make great wheels. They are typically used in Euro applications but I have seen them on a wide variety of cars. Heck, even tirerack.com carries them now and they can be had for as little as $800/wheel, depending on the size.

    I'm getting a set of forged magnesium wheels made for my 370z that will cost about $11,500. These wheels not only lighten unsprung vehicle mass but also lighten your wallet.

    Now these are probably standard on toyota to dodge! Amazing what comes on a stock car now a days it’s like we went through the catalog and picked out the beat parts to put on. And aftermarket now is sometimes not as good as some factory equipment not all but some.

    Great product, BUT 99.9% of your viewers could never afford such wheels. It's almost a slap in the face for us regular folks. BUT then again, a lot of us regular folks like to see how the rich live. So, good job on this video.

    I have HRE on my Ferrari, thinking about going with them for track wheels on my 911 TTS. Very nice people

    These wheels would be great for say a dream car of yours that you want to keep for the rest of your life.
