Wheel specialist plans to make a splash in the red-hot industry

HRE Wheels, one of the top specialists in the US, had an open house at their location in Vista, California. This not only turned heads but it made the fiercely passionate car fans in the area happy. HRE Wheels have worked on some incredible supercars that are simply mouth-watering to look at including a Bugatti Veyron, a Lamborghini Aventador and a Ferrari F40. In addition to seeing these stunning cars, locals could also see how HRE Wheels’ famous custom forged alloys are manufactured and how the whole process makes a supercar look different. The wheel specialist invited vendors in the industry like KW Suspension to show off their wares, and there were even prizes for people who came to the event. Looks like it was a whole lot of fun with special cars on display!

If you have your alloy wheels need a new look, give us a call on 0845 370 8881 and we will be happy to advise what we can do to help restore them to their former glory.

Check out our prices here and see how you can save money by having all 4 wheels refurbished at the same time. Don’t forget our competition on our Facebook Page. You could win a FREE wheel refurbishment!

 

Black Ferrari gets the gold touch

Ajet-black Ferrari is definitely a sight to see but when you put gold into the mix, it definitely takes off. You will see on-line Ferrari 458 Italia alloys which are unique because it has not gone for the traditional red coat of Rosso Corsa (as beautiful as it is). The Ferrari 458 Italia ADV.1 Wheels worked on this car to put ADV5TS five-spoke matte alloy wheels in black. These alloys are track-specification which gives the car even more of that supercar edge that you expect from Ferrari. The wheels are given the gold effect with a bronze outer rim which can clearly be seen on the 458 Italia.

Do you like the gold finish on alloy wheels? Our skilled technicians can finish your alloys in gold. Check out our latest gold finishes here below. If you are looking for this kind of look, give us a call on 0845 370 8881 and we will be happy to give a quote!

The perfect McLaren 12C

The McLaren 12C is one of the few supercars that receives rave reviews from the tough automotive critics in the press and the even harsher YouTube commenters that watch McLaren videos. They probably would have good things to say about this PUR Wheels McLaren 12C. PUR Wheels put 20 inch PUR 4OUR Depth alloy wheels on this white McLaren 12C. These alloys have a lumière grey lip with a matte black face which makes it look aggressive and sleek. The effect of PUR Wheels is subtle but when on the road, the performance of the car is going to be enhanced because of how sharp these wheels are.

We are always delighted to show you our latest work and we have been particularly pleased with these latest alloy wheels with red rim bands.

 

Rim bands are bands made from silicone rubber which are fitted around the circumference of the rim. Not only do they help protect the outer lip of the alloy from getting scratched but they also add style to your alloy wheels.

 

Our latest customer brought his Jaguar XJ alloy wheels to our London Alloy Wheel Refurbishment Centre to be refurbished.  Have a look at these pictures and you will agree with us they look stunning with red rim bands.
