HRE Wheels
Very much considering HRE wheels for my ‘21 G05 M-Sport.
Has anyone gone with HRE? More specifically: “Series RC1”, “Classic Series” or “520 Series” setups? |

My previous three piece 22" HRE S104 experience on my (f85) X5M lasted only a few months... I ran over a (literally) nothing pothole and bent two barrels! I know others that have ran 3 piece wheels with similar problems. Factory wheels would have shrugged this little bump off without incident, but the HREs were bent and it felt like I was rolling around on footballs. I had to remove the wheels and tires, send them off to get new barrels installed ($$$$) or I could have had them straightened ($$$). Either way it was a major inconvenience and cost that could have been avoided.... Since then I have sworn off pieced wheels altogether, even though they look really cool. From your selection, I like the look of the 520M Monoblocks best. Dial the offsets in and they will look amazing. |
