HRE is reproducing some of its old designs. Here is the HRE 501 Vintage:

Would love to see a set of this in 18" on a GTA with satin gold centers...

And here's the original wheel circa the 80s:

Best option I've seen yet, but still not good enough for me to spend the money on. Maybe if they'd have opened up just one more ring of holes all the way through, or just punched those inner pockets in a little deeper, they'd look better.

You realize they aren't rivets, right?

They are bolts that hold the 3 pieces of the wheels together. Don't get these confused with cheap cast wheels with fake bolts.

Um, yeah. They were nice when they were used on multi piece wheels. But, now that everything round has them, I find it very annoying.

They are 3pc wheels.

More neat press from HRE.
