HRE Wheels | Re-Introducing the G.O.A.T. - 20th Anniversary of the HRE 540!






The 540 Series is one of the most iconic wheel styles we’ve ever created. Originally launched in the late ’90s, the 540 Series quickly became one of HRE’s hottest sellers on cars like the E46 M3, Porsche 996 Turbo and C5 Corvette.

To commemorate our 40th Anniversary in 2018, we’ve revived just the 540 mesh style, re-engineering it to work with today’s most exclusive sports cars and SUVs, bringing a little bit of the 90’s back to enjoy.

The result is a better 540 ready to take on the next 20 years.

Flange/Lip differences between each model can be seen here.












Here are the lips side by side so you can more easily see the differences between each flange style.

HRE 540 with Satin Black Center, Gloss Black Outer, and Gloss Red Fasteners!

How would you fashion your HRE 540? So many colors to choose from, what would you do? See the color list below the 540 photos!


















Post up what color combinations you would do!

Thanks to Wheels Boutique for the awesome photos of a set of 19" HRE 540 Wheels in Brushed Gold with a Polished Outer installed on a well deserving BMW E46 M3!









What do you think of the Brushed Gold Finish here?
