The HRE 540 Series carries genuine heritage — originally launched in the late 1990s, it became one of HRE's best-selling designs on cars like the E46 M3, Porsche 996 Turbo, and C5 Corvette. To mark HRE's 40th Anniversary in 2018, the 540 mesh style was fully re-engineered from the ground up to meet the demands of today's high-performance sports cars and SUVs, honoring its roots while delivering thoroughly modern capability.
Each wheel is CNC machined to your exact vehicle specifications from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 forged aluminum, delivering an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio while minimizing unsprung mass and rotational inertia. Available in 18" through 24" diameters as a 2-piece FMR-X® or 3-piece build, with Rolled Lip or Flange Lip profiles, SUV load ratings on 20"–24" sizes, and full OE TPMS and lug hardware compatibility. Centerlock configurations are also available.
Personalize your 540 Series from 13 standard solid finishes or elevate the look with 61 optional transparent colors — applied over brushed, polished, stone, or frozen metal surfaces — with fully custom color options available on request. Every HRE forged order placed through TFS includes up to $1,000 in credit toward tires, additional wheels, or accessories. Backed by HRE's Lifetime Limited Structural Warranty and a 2-Year Finish Warranty, and proudly Made in the USA.

HRE × TFS Wheels
HRE Performance Wheels was founded in 1978 in California. The company specializes in high-end forged wheels designed for performance vehicles, luxury cars, and motorsport applications.
HRE is recognized for its flow-formed and forged aluminum construction, which prioritizes low unsprung weight without sacrificing structural integrity. Each wheel is manufactured in-house at their Vista, California facility, allowing tight control over quality and fitment.
The brand offers both standard catalog fitments and a fully custom program, enabling buyers to specify dimensions, finishes, and center bore configurations. HRE wheels are commonly associated with European sports cars, American muscle, and track-focused builds.
