HRE has been at the forefront of wheel engineering for over 40 years, renowned for its intricate designs, impeccable workmanship, and proven on-track performance. That said, HRE is pleased to announce that its proprietary FMR (Forged Monoblok Rim) technology is coming to the Vintage, Classic, and 540 Series. The wheels in these series reimagine the time-honored style and wheel design of the ‘70s, ‘80s, and ‘90s, offering contemporary sizing for today’s performance vehicles.

With the addition of new FMR (Forged Monoblok Rim) technology, the Vintage, Classic, and 540 Series are highly modern in their construction. Available in sizes ranging from 20 inches to 22 inches, this latest offering blends the structural advantages of a forged Monoblok wheel with the aesthetic of a two-piece wheel. FMR allows for everything from a clean contemporary angled lip profile (found on the HRE S1SC) to a vintage J-style flanged lip (found on the HRE 540). With this expansion, the Vintage, Classic, and 540 Series will cover more vehicle makes and models. 

The new proprietary two-piece forged barrel, named FMR, debuted on the HRE S1SC Series wheel and is the latest example of the brand’s innovative approach to wheel design. Given the inherent structural benefits of forged and machined construction methodology, the FMR barrel delivers increased stiffness, a nice reduction in mass, higher concentricity, and eliminates the air seal that’s required of traditional three-piece wheels. These structural benefits further translate to a wider array of styling options, making it a logical addition to the Vintage, Classic, and 540 series.

“When we launched FMR originally on our 2-piece Series S1SC, we wanted to combine the design aesthetic of three-piece construction with the precision and strength of a 1-piece forged wheel,” said HRE President / CEO Alan Peltier. “With the addition of FMR to the Vintage, Classic, and 540 Series, we can elevate the performance of these heritage designs to the modern-day levels HRE is known for.”

Like with all HRE wheels, the Vintage, Classic, and 540 Series with FMR are engineered to minimize unsprung mass and rotational inertia for optimal acceleration, handling, and braking performance, while maximizing strength. Since each wheel is built-to-order, there are nearly infinite fitment, color, and finish options available for a completely personalized wheel buying experience. HRE’s Vintage, Classic, and 540 Series with FMR are available in center lock as well as OE TPMS and lug hardware compatible for ease of installation.
