HRE Wheels | Introducing the R101 LIGHTWEIGHT - Our Newest and Lightest Wheels



We're extremely excited to introduce you to HRE's R101 Lightweight! HRE’s R101 Lightweight takes the R101 style to the next level. The R101 LW is specifically designed for individual vehicle models creating the ultimate in lightweight optimization for street and track use. Every vehicle model has a different load rating and power output, so we’ve utilized this data to redesign the R101 for each model application fine-tuning each detail of the wheel to remove weight and add stiffness where possible.

BMW M2 - F: 16.6 lbs | R: 17.2 lbs (19x9.5 / 19x10.5)

BMW M3/M4 - F: 16.7 lbs | R: 17.6 (19x9.5 / 19x11)

Lamborghini Huracan - F: 17.8 lbs | R: 20.0 lbs (20x8.5 / 20x11)

Lamborghini Huracan - R: 22.2 lbs (Optional Rear 21x12.5)

Nissan GTR - F: 19.6 lbs | R: 21.7 lbs (20x10.5 / 20x12.5)

Porsche 911 GT3 RS - F: 18.4 lbs | R: 23.5 lbs (20x9.5 / 21x12.5)

Audi R8 - F: 17.8 lbs | R: 22.2 lbs (20x8.5 / 21x12.5)

Very cool! Any plans for 18" R101 LW's? Some 14-15lb wheels strong enough for the e9x or f8x platform would be incredible

We've produced a R101LW specifically for a GT4Clubsport (For Porsche Race Team TGM), which was in an 18" size (weighed 16lbs as well), but so far other than what I listed in the first post, there aren't any other sizes for now. This doesn't mean in the future we won't have it, but currently we will be offering these wheels for the vehicles listed only.

Not a problem! And just for the record those are the original R101's not the newly released R101 LW's seen here on this thread. Very similar styling but just a tad different

Love the brushed gold on the M2! With the 9.5f and 10.5r widths, can 265f/285r or wider tires be fitted? Thanks!

Awesome! Glad you love it. Use a 255/285 combo and you'll be golden, but 265 might be a touch too aggressive up front with the offset range we recommend on the R101LW for the M2.
