California-based wheel HRE Performance Wheels has released a Vintage Series range of rollers as a homage to those seen on the supercars of yesteryear.
Familiar enough to get us all nostalgic, but re-engineered with modern 3-piece forged wheel technology, the two styles catching our eye are the 454, which is based on Lamborghini's iconic Countach 5-Hole wheels, and the 501 (mesh lace), which would look perfect on any age of Porsche 911 or something like BMW's glorious E30 M3.
'These designs take us all back to the '70"²s and '80"²s when we were kids falling in love with exotics for the first time and truly becoming car lovers. We found inspiration in those original designs but created wheels that reflect the HRE of today," said HRE Wheels President Alan Peltier.
Finishes include classic gold, bronze and polished centres and rims to hand-brushing or a custom colour of your choice and, with diameters ranging from 18 to 20 inches widths from 7 to 14 inches, we can see these becoming extremely popular amongst the tuning community.
