I never heard about HRE but first thing that comes to mind is: What happened to original Porsche wheels ???
Are HRE quality is higher than Porsche ( I doubt it is) & why they use Swiss flag (I also use Swiss flag on some of my business cards but then I use Swiss Made detailing products) as a logo if wheels are Made in USA (I see some models are made in Germany & Japan).
I think HRE wheels would have much more recognition if instead of using Swiss flag as their logo, they would use a California map as a logo.
Probably it's just cool to have a tuning look on the car with wheels only, while for me Porsche tuning means something else: Hamann Motorsport, TechArt, CarTech Knowledge München, Gemballa, RUF Automobile, Motoren Technik Mayer to name a few.

HRE Performance Wheels
P.S. Always a pleasure to see your work which is each time superb.
Have a Nice Day, I hope I didn't create any tension.

Hey Shark! I still have the original wheels. They are made by BBS for Porsche. They are excellent wheels as are the HRE's. I wanted to have a second set to change the 'look' of the car for aesthetics only...
I would love to see HRE use the California map as a logo! LMAO!
Thanks for the post!
The wheel is stunning without a doubt, a Hall of Fame wheel for sure but just curious as to why you went with bronze on a gray car?
^^^^
I was going to go gold. However, I thought that may be a little too 'bold' with a 'permanent' finish on the HRE's...so I decided on the Bronze, which is a little more subtle to me, and does indeed 'change' to a goldish color in certain lighting. (I will probably experiment on my factory wheels by dipping them again a gold color, or perhaps leave them as is, since I like the color and look as they sit!)
Hope that answers it!
And a big thank you to everyone else who posted!!!
