HRE Wheels | Daily Shop Life - Pictures inside HRE Performance Wheels' Facility
HRE Performance Wheels, over the last 30 years, has been designing, engineering and manufacturing top-tier quality wheels in the automotive industry. That you may already know, but what you may not know or what you may not see is what we do here on a (daily/weekly) basis, and that's our intention with this thread. We want to invite you to take a look at some photos that we have posted up of things that we have going on around the shop! For those who are unable to come and visit us during our open house that we have, this thread is an opportunity to get another view inside HRE Performance Wheels, and to see all the fun things we're working on in the process.
1-Piece wheel in the process of being machined
3-Piece center in the process of being machined (S204 Wheel)
A couple of our 4-axis Toyoda machines putting in some work!
Front row of our hard working machines, which keep pumping thanks to our hard working employees
Some of our mills just behind the front row
Some of our 3-piece forgings in the foreground, and to the right you can see some of the 1-piece forgings
P101 Wheels made for a Ferrari La Ferrari
S204 Centers after getting brushed (not cleaned yet so they appear dirty)
HRE P101 Wheels out from being hand brushed
P40SC's and some P101's look to be ready to ship out soon
Couple sets of R101's for track use!
S101 Centers after machining
One thing you may notice is that the spokes are thicker, this is because they are going onto an SUV, therefore the load rating has to be higher to make sure they can take the abuse
If you have any requests for things you want to see around the shop, just post your request and I'll see what I can do! Thanks for checking us out and subscribe if you want to see updates on more of what goes on at HRE Performance Wheels!

Other than us, you're now one of the first to see some details on the S204 wheel, one of our most unique and complex wheels. Machining times are insane on these, but you can see from the detail of the angles of the spoke, why it takes more time. Truly is a thing of beauty:

A few shots around the office and a bit more of what we have going on in the back!
What it looks like from start to finish on a 1 piece forged wheel
Wheels don't make bad wall decoration

Uniquely colored Classic 300 Wheel! Satin Black center with Gloss Red inner barrel and ARP bolts!

Looks like someone is getting an aggressive fitment soon

Already starting to turn blue!

Had an exciting week that will be even more exciting by tomorrow! We are hosting the 5th Annual Targa Traphy German Car Festival tomorrow, so we're looking forward to seeing all you there who are attending!
Last Saturday we hosted a Corvette/HRE Experience Event at our facility. We grabbed lots of photos including some customer cars such as this gorgeous Z06
Alan explaining the Forged wheel manufacturing process
Michael going over Akrapovič and what makes their systems so unique
Another C7 with HRE P101's on!
In the showroom we put up our start to finish manufacturing models for monoblock
Back in the warehouse during the week some S200's are cut - Before
And after!
