Very clean and sophisticated look for the Cab...how much do they weigh w/out tires?

I like the wheel but not sure about the bolts all around...in my likely wrong opinion it's too much of a race car thing and a cab is not a race car (I know I'll get blasted on that one)

Is there a non-bolted version ?? How do they compare to Champions in term of quality and price ?

HRE does make a reverse bolt version with most of their wheels. I believe it's called the 595R...

As for price you can't compare HRE's 3pce to Champions 1pce wheels. HRE's Monoblocks are about the same price give or take a couple hundred dollars as the Champions. But HRE's 3 piece wheels start at about $1200 per wheel and can go upwards over $2000 per wheel depending on the wheel style and what color options your buy. Painted Lips and inner barrels are extra, Vin# color matching is extra so it can add up. If you would like a quote on a set feel free to contact me and I would be happy to write something up for you.

In my honest opinion, HRE Wheels are second to none! The wheels are built with the finest materials available.

I have sold Champion sets too and they make great wheels and their finish is great, they just don't offer as many styles as HRE does.

Yes that is mine and thanks for the compliment on the combo. I like it the combo a lot, but more than that it is an incredible machine. I will consider lowering but outside of the obvious benefit to the look, is there a performance gain to be had?. Not sure that it is worth it just for looks though.
