Sweet, they are going to look great on your blue car.

Are you lowering?

Your car is going to look amazing with the brushed dark clear.

The new HRE S1SC with monoblock barrel would look great too on your blue car. No leak possible no silicone needed for the barrel.

HRE wheels look to be amazing quality and construction but aesthetically look very decorative and overly done, to me. I much prefer a BBS wheel with a motorsports look, on a 911. Maybe on a luxo barge Audi or a blacked out M4 (unst unst unst) the HRE works a little better. But what do I know. Everyone is an expert on the Internet. My opinion is worthless. I don't even know why I'm typing this...

Like shoes, everyone has different taste & style .. no right or wrong.

As for Motorsport history , BBS reputation is undeniable but how many of us track their cars? A handful considering the number of 911 on the road.

I feel confident my HRE will bring me to destination .. and in style

Just one more caveat to the discussion, I had FI-R's on my M4 previously, so was also looking for a change there.

The FI-R are beautiful wheels , can’t go wrong with either.

I can’t speak for BBS customer service , but HRE service is beyond expectation.

I’m saying this cuz few years ago I purchased a set of used wheel from a private seller in US, and my wheel got held up at customs due to missing documents. I contacted Satoru @ HRE & within few minutes he emailed me the documents required & my wheels got released same day. I didn’t expect them to help cuz it was a used set but they came through super quickly.

I, too, have had nothing but totally outstanding service, in my case, from BBS - from RS wheels to the latest magnesium wheels.

It’s great to hear this. When we pay big change for wheels, we deserve good service after sale. Those are the companies that last.

Too bad some companies (will not name them) sells high end wheels but disappear when you need support.

^^ props for going with the old classic design. Looks great, gold on red is also a win.

Must be a pain to clean though lol
