Even though I could never afford a set of these wheels, I admire them and HRE for making them. Kudos friends.
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.
And you bought it from the previous owner's ex wife, right? 🤣 Cuz she wouldn't have a clue, or care, what HE paid for 'em.
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.
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.
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.
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.
you can see and hear the quality these wheels are state of the art Great Vid Jay!
Just got my first set and these are £13k 21” r101 light weight , never thought I would own a pair in my life best wheels I’ve ever owned 😊
Love HRE Wheels. Best aftermarket wheels ever. I have HRE 840r in bushed aluminum finish on my E46 M3. Love those wheels
Jay Leno is the type of guy that you can sit down and talk to about cars all day
Satin finish looks the best! amazing what a set of nice wheels can do for a car!
Jay's face at 4:59 lol. he's like wow gtfo 20k for 4 wheels
50K to have your custom design made? ludicrous!
Pocket change for him.
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.
High quality lower springs and decent aftermarket wheels can make almost every car looks good !
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.
that feel when your wheels costs 20 times more than your car..
Benu kas Lol. I know, right?
Having forged wheels is awesome, it does feel better driving my car with them on vs. cast.
Oh, and I'm not paying $3000 for cast wheels, anyone who does is a fool.
GalvatronTypeR matt farah did.
+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.
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.
Flow formed wheels are good if you want to step away from cheap cast.
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.
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.
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 :)
+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.
Great video!! Much respect for this guy
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.
Forgeline's High Tech Machined (HTM) finish is truly tremendous.
You like H1 I worked for AmGeneral for 7 years awesome piece of machinery very proud to have worked there. Wish they would bring them back to the public.
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?
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.
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.
You KNOW a company is doing good when they get the Contract to make all of the stock OEM wheels for the Saleen S7 & then again for the S7 TT. :)
"I've eaten pizzas that weigh more than this."
LOL
Jay HRE is not a Small company.....
lol. i thought the same, SMALL COMPANY? suuuure.
William Seroyer It's not exactly O.Z either.
As far as boutique wheels go, it's a large company. As general wheel manufacture and by comparison to what is generally defined as a large company - it is in a word, "tiny".
Well ya its also no BBS, but the way Jay is talking them, he is acting like nobody knows who they are. I just think he has no idea who they are, (old man problems)
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.
Ok the 7 double spokes, do you see 7 Y's or 7 U's?
Great seeing these beautiful ( and efficient ! ) wheels made in the good ol' US of A !
Very nice wheels and always nice to know they have been tested to the car's maximum ability if anyone ever decides to take their car to the Autobahn for some 'FUN'
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...
Yes he can .hes worked for it and had some luck but .put it to great use good on him
Some of the Best looking and high-quality wheels on the market By far And once again to the window team awesome awesome show
I've always loved these wheels. When I worked for a big named tire shop as a kid we use to get these in on a pretty regular basis. But good lord I really had no idea how much they actually spent on these wheels. So much for me getting some for my Saab 9-5 lol.
prices SUCK BIG TIME.....wheels for the 1%
IKR! Did you catch that cough from Jay when he said the price?? Lol
How great that a US manufacturer is striving to pass European safety tests. It's also great that the designs are really tasteful, and that BMW...
What a great company, I really learned a lot from this video. It's true about that carbon fibre wheel being light, I when to pick one up once and almost through it over my head accidently.
Seems like a cool young guy who's made a name for himself, good for him!
Had HRE wheels on my 944 long time ago, expensive but they look so good on the car.
I dont have the car anymore. I do miss it.
Come on Jay that Bimmer is sick !
Why does Jay suddenly scream at 2:53 hahaha
THAT IS A BIG TIRE
i'm dying
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.
Ha, I still have the old original wheels on my 65 Futura convertible, however she has 2 different sets of Ford spinner hubcaps. I use wire to secure the hubcap to the wheel, so they won't fly off when going fast on curves. I used to have old style mags, however they were too hard on the wheel bearings back in the olden days.
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.
I don't care for getto rims but I do love American made products
Finally he put a high quality video
Even Jay batted an eye at 20k, and I think he can afford it. These wheels are great for maybe 1% of car owners.
this wheels are beautiful. Real nice company
Liberty Walk Beemer at Jay Leno's garage, cool.
As always, thank Jay Leno! Channel is awesome and informative!
Lmao at 4:01 Jay coughs when he heard the price
Very cool. Love Jay Leno's garage.
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!
That's is some bad ass BMW M3
I Have HRE P43SC Wheels on my R35. I'll never sell them. They are incredible. You get what you pay for.
Apparently they got connections and excellent relations with the TUV if they are able to market their product there. Plus sending inspectors out for annual compliance audits are not cheap either.
Wow, those are some killer wheels! Very cool stuff
Thank you
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.
That M3 is sick!
That is what a good engineer sounds like.
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.
Just got a set of their 3 piece wheels for my vette, nice wheels!!! I also have a set of CCW 3 piece wheels on my other vehicle, and before owned SSR and work wheels... all 3 piece... are they over priced... yes
But I like wheels that are safe and look good plus perform.
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.
Vossen rs5 forged magnesium wheels sell for about 8500 USD for a set. weight is about 15 pounds.
omg! videos are in HD now.
I love my HRE wheels. You get what you pay for!
Leno can pop 20k from pocket change.
Hemi power He can find 20k under the sofa seat.
Love hre wheels and that m series looks awesone, but what nitto tires are one it
HRE’s are beautiful I’d get them for any car
HRE is a small company?
My neighbor's 911 turbo has the wheels at 6:36, they look absolutely amazing.
6 years later.... This company has come FAR
That Prius is now exclusive. :)
hello, what wheel rim are the 4th from left to right, and 6th from left to right?
haha, HRE small company that nobody's heard of... right
Ya I don't know of a single show or track I went to that I didn't see someone running HRE's. In Jay's defense though, he's not the most aftermarket savvy.
outside of North America they are not very common.
gav240z
they're not very common anywhere due to their price tag, but most people that know cars know HRE
ive been a big car fan for all of my 32 years and ive never heard of hre.
Mark, it isnt a brand that is decades old but its at least 10 years old or so. im not saying you should have known them. im just saying that they werent around as long as you and even though they havent been they've been all over the car world in places like SEMA for years and all that
Enkei is a Japanese company and the wheels are made in Japan. I've made deliveries to one of their factories.
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.
Top notch explanations an product . TY Jay.
carbon fiber wheels are so koooolll.....HRE is the bomb!
Excellent points, and far too many people loose the concept of diminishing returns. I will admit that I can be guilty of it myself. From $2,000 pens to Rolex watches and optics on my firearms that I could never shoot as good as they are capable. Hell, I just bought a KAC Triple Tap this week, so maybe I should just shut up... ;)
I love the BMW, but...Rays Engineering/Volk Racing Wheels...those are my favs. A nice set of TE37s please!
HRE are the sickest!!
vossen are good too.. i love their wheels :) and i heard only good things about them
best wheel ever!
Many of you arent understanding why the prices are so high. These are composites engineers who designed planes and weaponry that protect our country using thr same 6061 aluminum from the same place that provides the metal for boeing and ferrari. You dont have to go searching for specific widths offsets finishes etc... These wheels are made for your car in any variation you want with the best service and none of the bull shit. Why does a koenigsegg coat 1.5+ million? Because its a no expense
i already expected the rims to be expensive, but i actually think these are worth it after seeing how they design, and quality.
its a special tire paint you can buy in marker or brush on forms.
HRE ftw even if its 18 inch , its the Lambo of wheels . That's why I like it more likely theres only a few in My area , but what can I say Atlanta have some ballers
I have HRE on my Ferrari, thinking about going with them for track wheels on my 911 TTS. Very nice people
I've seen all those designs on other rims that are a fraction of the cost. You'd think they'd have original designs.. Rather than charging you 50,000 for you own bloody designs! Cowboys
David Falconer thats what i thought.... pretty standard designs. nothing fancy nothing original. and for that price... boy they better have that top engineering going on. but we all know HRE wheels break.
BearsDkills no more original designs? Check radi8 then come back at me.
can anyone tell me what type of rear spoiler that is? I would like to put one on my BMW E92.
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.
My KORDOBA answers.Canadian plantSkinny 15 inch w/ full coversWEIGHT is issue on entire planDIET down to ASPEN base coupe weightSUPER COUPE suspension, MONTE SS Z 65 steering, 4 wheel disc, likely GHIA or VesailesSo let's go GOLD powdercoat on something.Last step wheel looks right.BBS is option, as next door, and we share R+D track known as ROAD ATLANTA
Its amazing that they sell theyr wheels here in Germany.
The TÜV makes modifying your car quite difficult and expensive most of the time because of strict rules on EVERYTHING.
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.
HEY Jay have you heard about those replica cars? Whats your opinion about those cars?
1:40 TUV (U with the two german dots on top) is the technical inspection organisation of germany
A couple of guys by the name of: Rhys Millen Racing, (although he also uses enkei and BBS) , Monster Tajima (Pikes peak record holder), Vaughn Gittin JR., Darren Macnamara, Rum Bum Racing, and an ALMS Lambo team i forget the name of that uses Custom HRE designs, etc etc
Also, the factory whee for the Saleen s7 and the Gumpert Apollo Nurburgrinng edition are made by HRE...
It would be great to see Brad Beardow with Fifteen52 on the show with Jay. He's a great guy from Sarasota where I live.
Very informative video. Nice wheels!
yeah cuz I'm lookin at Jay the whole time!?! W.G.A.F.!
Lots of exotics as well as modern muscle cars owner get these installed on their cars. But I personally preferred Rays Engineering wheels as well as Various other manufacturer such as Enkei (many different lines but their top notch stuff is worth noticing). Work Wheels, SSR.. just to name a few.
Wonder how much the gold one at 6:42 costs...may get it for my M3.
