Allen Peltier, the HRE COO in the video, is a nsxprime member. He has (had?) a NSX.

It was about 4-5 years ago when I was about to order a set but they're hard to buy over here so I went another route. I didn't regret it.

David if you need a set I can get them for you no problem.I have an account with them I just really go out trying to push wheels left and right.I just mainly get my friends HRE's. :smile:

Here are some wheels I got for my friends here in Houston.

HRE 542R

HRE 891R

HRE 540

I plan on throwing mine on some 794R's or some Comp C20's. :smile:

Cool video- I like the finish that was on that three piece wheel they assemble at the end. Anyone know what finish it is?

Great video,it is just hard to justify their pricing. I really want to pick up a set of 545r wheels.

Does anyone know if HRE, or a reputable company provides some sort of "wheel restoration" service? I have some scuffs, scratches, clearcoat pealing etc.. from a few years of use and I think there has to be someone or HRE, that does a full restoration. I know there are individual uses etc.. but..

Thanks!

PS: Never mind, a quick googl and the answer is "Yes." I shot an email to HRE - anyone have any experience and about how much it costs?

Prices for there restoration service depend on what kind of finish your wheel has and of course how bad the damage is.

But it won't be super cheap. (of course your getting excellent quality)
