Does anyone here get a discount on HRE Wheels
I am shopping for a new set of wheels, and was curious if any members here had a discount on HRE Wheels.
Thanks,
Hans

You might consider trying to get a group buy together, I know the BMW guys did this in the past and did receive a discount. You'll either need to work directly with HRE or a distributor, make sure the distributor is reputable so as to insure you get what you pay for.

Hi Hans...How have you been? Hope you got that video back 2 years ago 
I looked and from what I had found at the time I was considering HRE is....mark up is almost non existant for resellers, prices are already quite "high" and they are apparently soft in the alumi dept. HRE supposedly uses their own hoops from what I had heard and the lighter the aluminum, the softer it is. I am not a metals guy, so don't quote me. They are not intended for street purposes...look at them wrong and they get out of round. Replacement/repair is "high" like the initial cost.
BUT, great looking wheels
