Hi All,

HRE Wheels has announced a new line of wheels called the Carbon Series, which will be available from January from The Tuners Group here in Australia.

They are an absolutely mindblowing wheel - simply amazing, and we're incredibly excited about getting our hands on a set asap.

The strength of these new wheels is completely mindblowing. As it says in a quote from HRE Wheels COO Alan Peltier on our site ...

"It turns out that the stiffness of the carbon barrel is actually much higher than the stiffness of the aluminum barrel.

In fact, in fatigue, the (carbon) barrels are load rated MUCH higher than the (forged) aluminum center simply because you have to design the rim around impact."

We've written an article with a bunch of photos of the new wheels, which you can find on our website at ...

I think we just found a new set of wheels for our Time Attack project car :P

If for nothing else I would love a set for 'wank' factor :P

They aren't just for looks :)

The main advantages of the carbon fibre wheels are (as reported in this post by HRE COO Alan Peltier) ...

"It turns out that the stiffness of the carbon barrel is actually much higher than the stiffness of the aluminum barrel.

So there are not just a wheel with a cosmetic carbon lip - instead the whole barrel is carbon fibre.

They are truly an incredibly exciting wheel.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

      Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it

      All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
