The HRE 521 is a 5-spoke mesh design from the 520 Series — a collection that bridges HRE's Vintage and Classic lineages into a wheel equally at home on an 80s collector car, a modern supercar, or a performance crossover. Sharing the 520 Series' signature bowl feature surrounding the lug pockets and an updated face profile, the 521 is offered in High, Medium, and Low face profiles so you can dial in exactly the look you want, with Rolled Lip or Flange Lip options to further tailor the fitment.
Every 521 is CNC machined to your vehicle's exact specifications from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 forged aluminum, delivering an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio without excess mass. Backpad pocketing is machined in as standard to reduce unsprung weight and rotational inertia, and ARP high-strength stainless-steel fasteners hold the 2-piece assembly together. SUV load ratings are available in 20"–24" diameters, and OE TPMS and lug hardware compatibility means a straightforward fit on your build.
Finish options span 13 standard solid colors plus 60 optional transparent colors — available over brushed, polished, stone, or frozen metal surfaces — with fully custom colors available on request. Every forged HRE order placed through TFS Wheels includes up to $1,000 in credit toward tires, other wheels, or accessories. The 521 is backed by HRE's Lifetime Limited Structural Warranty and a 2-Year Finish Warranty, and is proudly made in the USA.
