Thread: HRE Wheels in Motorsport

HRE Wheels since it's inception has had a motorsport presence in the US. In fact, HRE was founded as a motorsports brand over 30 years ago. Many assume that HRE is a street performance wheel brand due to our overwhelming success in that genre over the past couple decades. We had not previously promoted our racing involvement and thought I would share our recent achievements in the Motorsport world.

Too keep this concise, here is a short listing of some of our most recent Motorsport activities with which most of you are probably unaware.

I hope they asked your permission first and perhaps even paid you to use it for their advertising

Why on earth have you not promoted that side of your business before?!

Surely that's the biggest endorsement of your wheels possible? Certainly changes my appreciation of them.

People have been racing on our wheels for decades. HRE has been in the wheel industry for over 30 years. A lot of people get the misconception that we are a street wheel, since that's where they normally see our wheels. Glad that this post helped you realize that aspect of our design and engineering.

the wing on those fall line e92 m3s is pretty nice.
