If I get this right, it looks like HRE wheels are being banned at some track events...

I heard that the TE37 was originally designed for the AE86 and cars with 15' inch. Something about it being 37 lbs total... that's how it's name came out.. Don't quote me on this story though.

SLIPPINnSLIDING said:Interesting... i would think that they stand up to their reputation. You spend top dollar for these rims, and they end up failing. Are VOLKS also banned?
SSR rims are indeed pretty strong. Still, I managed to bend my front GT3 to the verge of a blow out. In the rims defence, I did hit the pot hole at 60 MPH in a tunnel so I didn't see the hole and I had no chancew to slow down.BRIDGEWATER ACURA said:SSR's are pretty strong too. After almost a year and a half some NJ/NYC driving I finally managed to end one of my front rims- SSR GT3's (18/19).
I consider myself lucky to have driven in NJ winters and not bend all 4 of them :biggrin:
