Teaser pics... HRE’s R101LW
Also got the HRE center caps to replace the Porsche center caps!
Well... originally I was going with the BBS FI-R’s for my newly acquired GT3... buuuuuuut I had a set of HRE’s on my McLaren and I really REALLY wanted another set of HRE’s for my Porsche. Soooooo I switched gears mid order and got R101LW’s in frosted champagne going on Sapphire Blue.
I’ve had 3 blue cars in the past and always had black wheels on them, but wanted this color always. FINALLY got the exact wheels I wanted for a car I hope to keep for longer than a minute... anyone who knows me knows I go through cars like most people change their underwear. 15 cars in 5 years. 😣
Here’s a sneak peek at the wheels... getting installed tomorrow so I’ll post more pics of them on the car then. Lemme know your thoughts...

Beautifully styled wheels....I’d keep the Porsche center cap logo...classier.

Thank you for the feedback... I appreciate your honesty. I’m a wheel *****, I’ve had aftermarket wheels on every car I’ve ever owned. I feel like it personalizes them to the tastes of each owner, and like colors on individuals cars, some like them, some prefer different colors. I know not all will like these wheels, color of these wheels, or the center caps.., I totally respect that as well as welcome constructive criticism and I’m great with that!

Every Porsche I've owned has had a set of aftermarket wheels. Some multiple sets. Forgeline is on my speed dial.
I agree that it personalizes your car.

I struggled with the color choice... I’ve done cleared brushed, smoked tint brushed, gloss black.. typical colors, and I’ve always wanted this color on a blue car. I’ll know tomorrow if I chose well or not?!?! I thiiink they’re gonna look ok on there.

Alan, Im considering a set of Forgeline....but they only have a couple in center lock...will they do other wheel styles in center lock? I am trying to get the look of the wheels the OP here has or BBS FI-R but with out the $9-10k price tag....which is why I am looking at Forgeline. The Forgeline VX1 is what I am after but GT3 20” spec in centerlock.

Those look sharp. Can't wait to see that wheel on your car. I, too, have a set of the R101 LW (frozen stone clear) and absolutely love them. Best of luck to you!
