For the low, low, price of 1 million dollars!!!!

 

there are a rare few that have them on here....if i remember one is a white 8 with black hre's...name escapes me at the moment...i think its whitehot though......hre is not the ideal wheel for pothole ridden streets in the NE....unless your a baller and can replace them repeatedly

 

check the aftermarket wheels thread. there was another member with a black ms with Hre 545's. i think his name was cortc or somethin.

 

hre's huh? pretty pricey i don't know if i'd put em on an 8. didn't the vivid/pepsi rx8 have red hre's on it?

 

It's konig.

those were your standard issue Volks i believe, unless they changed them. And at over a grand per wheel, I wouldn't do these on a daily driver, I'd go with something a bit more resilient. (like I have room to talk though )

 

expensive, and i hear they are weak which is weird because they seem to be advertised as very strong or something

 

do they come with a toothpick and tweezers?

 

i love HRE wheels, if I had the money to spend on them. You can really make a custom wheel/offset, and i think they look sweet.

downside of course is the crazy price.
i found these in the aftermarket rim thread:

the black car is cortc's
the white is konig

 

Actually, if you wanted custom wheels/offset I would go with these guys:

www.ccwheel.com

They're cheaper, lighter, stronger, and have true racing cred (a lot of the 7 guys run them) and I think they look equally killer. I spoke with these guys a while back when my rim pursuit first started back in 05, they were totally willing to work with me, very helpful over the phone, answered a million questions etc. I've seen a handful of sets in person and they're stunning, absolutely gorgeous.

Here is a style they have called the classic, I came VERY close to getting these, but it was just too much money at the time.



These are my faves, I'm a sucker for a clean 5 spoke



one more style I drooled over:



I'd love to see these on an 8 someday, who knows maybe a few years down the road if I still have my car and I'm tired of my Work's I may take the plunge.

 

Have you looked at iForged wheels? They look sweet and will probably run you a lot less.

There is a group buy on them over at the Club Lexus forum.

 

The black car was cortc, konig purchased his from cortc... cortc's car was amazing...

 

it was alright, whats with you bumping up all of cortc's threads?

 

there's a diference between amazing performance and amazingly blingy ...

 

Blingy...

 

I looked at HRE's before I bought my OZs. Wasn't that crazy about the styles they had though and you don't have to pay that much to get 3 piece forged wheels. I ended up at about $900 a wheel for my OZ's for 8.5/9.5 19".

Everyone I've talked to who really knows what they are doing said that damage to the wheels from the road surface is more of an issue with heavier cars and no so much an issue with something that weights what an RX8 does.

 

www.fikse.com for custom forged

 

Does that white RX8 have HRE's wrapped with Hankook's? You think you might be able to afford a better performing tire if your spending 5k on wheels.

 

putting HRE's on an RX-8 is like parking a Ferrari at your mobile home

 

HRE's are nice looking wheels

 

another great choice, but the CCW's are still cheaper and lighter and stronger etc....even though I still love Fikse's anyway
