We just received this set of HRE C20 3pc racing wheels in gunmetal for a Porsche 997 C4S customer.  The wheels are a 19×8.5 inch front and a 19×11 inch rear.  The C Series wheel is quite the engineering marvel.  These centers weigh only about 7-8lbs each which make the entire wheel weigh without tires about 18lbs.  Very strong and very light, the HRE C Series is a top choice for those wanting a good track wheel that is fashionable.  Each HRE C Series wheel is custom made to your vehicle and specific offsets.  These offsets are determined by vehicle model, brake caliper, ride height, and vehicle use.

These wheels which feature a Step Lip were wrapped in Toyo T1R Tires.  The front is a 245/35/19 and the rear is a 315/25/19.  This tire is an excellent aggressive street tire which is comparable to that of a Michelin Pilot Sport PS2.  The tire features a refined tread design and construction that offers improved dry and wet handling and performance.  The T1R tire we chose is a “Y” rating for higher speed and performing cars such as the Porsche 997.
