Default HRE wheel install day!

Finally had time to install my HRE's. Have had them for a few months now!



They are: HRE Flowforms. FF01's IPA Bronze color Front 20x8.5 w/ ET50 and rear 20x11 ET60.



Fit perfectly. Look outstanding in my opinion!



While I was at it, I decided to clean up the calipers and fender wells and apply a ceramic coating to them to give them some protection, but mainly to assist in cleaning them. The caliper color deepened a little after the coating application. Looks good. Nice and slick and they should shed/repel the dust much easier now.



I also coated the wheels with a ceramic wheel coating to assist in the ease of cleaning.


I attached them with some black Titanium lug bolts...



Onto the pictures!

Nice job. The wheels really change personality depending on the lightening.

Nice job using the wheel mounting tool. I now use 2 when I work on the car. Prevents the wheel from rotating and nicking the calipers. Very helpful with the big fat 20" wheels.

Thanks everyone! Yes, it's Agate Grey. They do appear to change colors in different lighting situations which is pretty cool.

Lex: won't work without them! Makes it so much easier/safer/less prone to damaging anything.

I used Pinnacle Black Label Wheel and Paint coating...

Excellent choice IMO!! I really like the way the bronze color looks on the HRE wheels. I went to the HRE open house today and really fell in love with those wheels. I saw them on a few white 911's and wow!





Gorgeous!!

I think those wheels look terrific Al. If I don't like the stock 5 lugs on the GTS I ordered, I may switch to the HREs. How much do four of these bad boys set you back?

Nice looking wheels!

I the future, please don't leave your car on hydraulic jacks while you are working on the car. If one seal fails, you could be severely injured or killed. At the very least, your car could sustain a lot of damage. Four Jack Point jack stands cost less than one HRE wheel and less that your Ti lug bolts. Safety first!

Curious, what are the offsets on them?

More aggressive than the OEM's I hope.

Do they look more pushed out than the Carrera S's?
