Don,
The One-Lap truck used to have HRE wheels and I remember a recent post of a black L with HRE's. Awesome wheels, but huge $$. I looked into them at one time. I was going to do 18x10's front and 18x12's rear. Would have cost about $4500.

Don,

That second set looks sweet! If those are the two your debating about, my vote goes to the bottom ones!

You get what you pay for and HRE's are $$$$. They can set you up with custom backspacing if you need it. Other options include painted centers, polished or brushed etc. You'll have to wait 8-10 weeks usually.

They are my absolute favorite wheels; I just haven't bit the big bullet.

I love the top ones, but honestly I think the 5 spoke would look better on our trucks then the 16 spoke ones.

I got um

I have had them for almost 2 years and they are by far the best wheels I have ever seen. They are also true three piece wheels so if you bend a outer or inner piece you just have to pay for that piece not a whole new rim I have got more complementes on the wheels then imaginable the 18's look perfect with a 4" x 5" drop.
I have toyos on her and they do pretty well and look a lot cooler then the goodyears. Hope the pics help

P.S. they take 8 weeks to make but the wait is well worth it!

Don, silver HRE's with a polished lip would look wicked on your silver truck. I hope you're not teasing and you really do this

Personally, these are my first choice.


My second choice is the five spokes.

Well I am going to do something this winter. Last winter I did all the go fast stuff, this winter is Bling Bling. I am planning on silver with the poilshed lip. I am thinking about the top ones.

Getting rid of rotating weight is a top proirity, and these rims weight less. If anyone has any other sugestions feel free to let me know.

HRE is a good wheel.Have used them before on a race car and yes you can replace any part of them and have almost any offset.BUT there is another company that is making wheels too.Have run them also they make wheels for the aero space industry as well as for aircraft so I know they are good to, made to same specs and about half the cost.Only spike and myself know who since I told him about them,he did the research to find them again since I forgot where they were.Stan

Keneis (sp?) is another good one for less money and quicker delivery. The widest they will do for our trucks is 18X11 which weighs about 16-17lbs. I will dig for the info. Several stlyes and they are a true 3 piece as well.
