HRE Wheels | Re-Introducing the G.O.A.T. - 20th Anniversary of the HRE 540!
The 540 Series is one of the most iconic wheel styles we’ve ever created. Originally launched in the late ’90s, the 540 Series quickly became one of HRE’s hottest sellers on cars like the E46 M3, Porsche 996 Turbo and C5 Corvette. To commemorate our 40th Anniversary in 2018, we’ve revived just the 540 mesh style, re-engineering it to work with today’s most exclusive sports cars and SUVs, bringing a little bit of the 90’s back to enjoy. The result is a better 540 ready to take on the next 20 years. HRE 540 Specifications Available in 17", 18", 19", 20", 21", 22" and 24" Lifetime Limited Structural Warranty and 2 Year Finish Warranty Modular 3-Piece Aerospace-grade 6061-T6 forged aluminum for high strength-to-weight ratio Engineered to minimize unsprung mass and rotational inertia for maximum performance and handling CNC machined to custom specifications for your specific application OE TPMS and lug hardware compatible for ease of installation Center lock options available Starts at $1100 per wheel Available in 3 outer lip styles: 540 Standard flange with step lip (not available in 24" till late this year) 540C Rolled flange with step lip (not available in 17") 540R Rolled flange with reverse drop center Audi S5 Sportback: HRE 540C 20x10.5 Polished Dark Clear centers & Polished Clear outers LINK TO FULL S5 SPORTBACK PHOTOSHOOT BMW E46 M3: HRE 540 19x9 & 19x10 Polished Clear centers & outers LINK TO FULL E46 M3 PHOTOSHOOT BMW F82 M4: HRE 540 20x9.5 & 20x10 Polished Dark Clear centers & Polished Clear outers LINK TO FULL F82 M4 PHOTOSHOOT BMW F80 M3: HRE 540 19x9.5 & 19x11 Satin Black centers & outers LINK TO FULL F80 M3 PHOTOSHOOT Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS: HRE 540C 21x9.5 & 21x12.5 Satin Black centers & Gloss Black outers LINK TO FULL Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS PHOTOSHOOT Volkswagen Golf GTI: HRE 540 19x8.5 Brushed Gold centers & Polished Clear outers LINK TO FULL Volkswagen GTI PHOTOSHOOT Thank you so much for taking a look and thank you to all who have purchased HRE wheels in the last 40 years.

While you're reintroducing wheels, how about reintroducing the SC line....

Interesting. The website literally says its "discontinued." But thanks for the info.
Do you have them available in M5 fitment? 20", 21"?

Yes of course we can do them for an M5, we can do them for almost any car you'd like since we machine these wheels to order. |

Pardon my ignorance - I am very familiar with HRE's prestige, but have not bought an M car since the E46 M3 almost 15 years ago. So I have not owned a car with ZCP wheels such as an F80 or F90 (MY19). How do the HREs compare to the wheels available in the comp pack of the BMW M cars?

There's lots of talk about Individual BMW colors and custom options, why not the same for wheels? Since BMW cannot make 50+ wheels styles for each car, that's where we come into play |

Probably my favorite wheel style of all time. Often imitated, never duplicated...

HRE 540 with Satin Black Center, Gloss Black Outer, and Gloss Red Fasteners! How would you fashion your HRE 540? So many colors to choose from, what would you do? See the color list below the 540 photos! Post up what color combinations you would do! |

Thanks to Wheels Boutique for the awesome photos of a set of 19" HRE 540 Wheels in Brushed Gold with a Polished Outer installed on a well deserving BMW E46 M3! What do you think of the Brushed Gold Finish here? |
