They know we want 16s but will never pay for them haha. I like the idea of mesh and revere mounted centers. I hope the centers are proper not just bolt holes.

They're re-making Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Porsche wheels. $7k is a normal price for wheels. Hell, that's cheap for Ferrari wheels... their special edition ones are ~$12k. They'll be correct offsets and everything.Originally posted by Grueliusand i do not know what bugg brakes are.Comment

Sorry, next time I'll make sure to get RS's so I can fit in and look like every other e30 :D But seriously, the 454's look horrible haha.Overpriced, wrong sizes, 454 looks like something FunFag would put on his car. Just not something that will appeal to anyone OTHER than Ferrari and Lamborghini owners. Also the sizes that these come in pretty much mean that these 'vintage wheels' will not fit on any vintage car without the use of rubber band tires.

Yea, the sizes are unfortunate, but let's be honest. Who here would buy a set at 8k anyway?
Not to mention, since they dont stock smaller sizes in hardware/ parts, that would drastically increase the price on already expensive wheels, since they would have to source 16 & 17" parts for what, 10 buyers?
All the designs look great, and its nice to see companies responding to different tastes, even if this isn't a slam dunk for the e30 community specifically.I think you nailed the points pretty good. A set of old BBS are priced at $3000, any many struggle to justify that price. A company has to at least cover its cost and make it worth its while. There would be no sense in selling a set of wheels less than their cost.
Keep in mind, these are forged, engineered wheels. Many of the BBS are cast centers, new and old.
I could see someone with a fully build custom E30 M3 going beyond the simple mods that would spend $7k for a set of wheels, I'm sure there have been many. Like the guys that put a new M motor into E30 M3.

You're basically the only one with some sense in this thread. HRE isn't making wheels for a crowd full of 25 year old cars worth 3k.The first car I ever rode in was an e30
