Pretty gangster looking, not my cup of tea. But, I am sure there is a market for those styles.

What material and thickness are the rim shells made from?

"We are nothing short of excellence – We are ANRKY."

I think the name is pretty dumb.

It’s all complete marketing BS. Clearly not writtten by an automotive enthusiast, and rather someone with a fresh marketing degree looking to practice!

It may just be personal taste but, while I love the look of many of the HRE wheels, these designs look a little 'West Coast Customs' to me.

Not sure why people are so up in arms. It's an attempt to offer a different product than their main line and likely market it to a slightly different clientele. Makes sense to brand it differently for a lot of reasons. Anrky is a bit millennial, but maybe that's why us old guys think it's kinda odd. I think Twitter is retarded as well, but I'm definitely not in their demographic, so my opinion is somewhat meaningless.

They must know millennials can't afford these things. Who are they actually targeting?

There are always outliers, but as a general rule of thumb this is true, younger generations typically have less disposable income. In this case where a set of wheels is $10k+ its certainly not entry level

I continue to quickly read the name ANRKY and see ANGRY.

Nevertheless, what does Anarchy have to do with cars?

Their goal is to 'disrupt the established order', facilitated by a backwards 'R'
