Hre Wheels Announces Carbon Fibre Wheels

[TheTunersGroup]

Hi All,

HRE Wheels has announced a new line of wheels called the Carbon Series, which will be available from January from The Tuners Group here in Australia.

They are an absolutely mindblowing wheel - simply amazing, and we're incredibly excited about getting our hands on a set asap.

The strength of these new wheels is completely mindblowing. As it says in a quote from HRE Wheels COO Alan Peltier on our site ...

"It turns out that the stiffness of the carbon barrel is actually much higher than the stiffness of the aluminum barrel.

In fact, in fatigue, the (carbon) barrels are load rated MUCH higher than the (forged) aluminum center simply because you have to design the rim around impact."

We've written an article with a bunch of photos of the new wheels, which you can find on our website at ...

I think we just found a new set of wheels for our Time Attack project car

So there are not just a wheel with a cosmetic carbon lip - instead the whole barrel is carbon fibre.

They are truly an incredibly exciting wheel.
