Why are HRE wheels so expensive?
There are many things going against it on how they can ask as high as 15k for a set of wheels.
1. no race heritage or any kind of real accolades. 2. Wheels are heavy even tho it's supposed to be forged 3. wheels are also known to break and even now banned from some race groups 4. Wheel designs are are cookie cutter and plain(this of course is subjective.) 5. wheel brand not even perceived as prestigious even tho that's what they are aiming for someone fill me in on this. Now a days I feel alot of euro guys, exotics etc have even seen thru this and I now often see work wheels, rays, ssr etc on those cars now. |

Well, since it's already been bumped back...
1. manufacturing processes are more expensive 2. They offer more "premium" finishes that require more time and human interaction 3. Brand equity/marketing/target demographic https://www.hrewheels.com/news/insid...1#.XDYS_1VKjb0 22lb for a 21" wheel isn't heavy, although i'm sure they have some very heavy models as well. I discussed a bunch of stuff that indirectly touches this subject in the old grumpy assholes thread. I could speak on this for hours but I don't have the time for that.
