HRE wheels are now available at Prestige Wheel Centre UK.
What Makes An HRE Wheel Different From Other Forged Wheels?
This is one of the questions we get asked the most and it’s one of the most important; the answer is both simple and complex. The simple answer is, “To create the best you must start with the best”. What this really means is at every step, we don’t cut corners and are continually trying to improve our materials, processes, facility and team to make sure it stays that way. We start with extremely talented people to design and engineer every HRE from sketch to testing, programming and prototyping. From there, only the best materials are used such as our forgings made in California by the same supplier to Boeing, Airbus and Ferrari. Next, our artisans hand prep and brush every wheel by hand spending hours perfecting finishes that only HRE can offer. From there our wheels move to a hand washing process that again shows the care and attention to detail needed to produce our finishes. It then moves to our in-house powder coat process which produces astonishing yet durable colors that complement even the most exclusive vehicles in the world. If it’s a 3-Piece wheel, there’s still more to do. After powder coating, a 3-Piece wheel needs to be assembled, sealed and checked for runout (making sure the wheel is perfectly round). Even our assembly bolts are designed for HRE by HRE and are produced in the USA by ARP. Before any wheel is considered an HRE, it goes through an extensive quality check ensuring it lives up to the HRE promise. And one of the most commonly neglected parts of a forged wheel is its packaging. This often leads to blemished and damaged wheels so at HRE, we don’t skimp here either. Our packaging is specifically designed to keep your wheels safe regardless of how far they are traveling because we want them to arrive just as perfect as when they left.
All HRE Forged wheels are made in our Vista, California facility. In addition, all related parts such as our forgings, rim parts, assembly bolts and wheel packaging are also all made in the USA. The only exceptions to this are our FlowForm wheels which are made in Japan and our Carbon Series barrels which are made in Germany.
