About

HRE R101 Lightweight

The HRE R101 Lightweight is a one-piece forged monoblock wheel engineered specifically for individual vehicle models, starting at just 16 lbs. Rather than applying a universal design, HRE uses each model's load rating and power output data to fine-tune every structural detail of the R101 LW — removing weight and adding stiffness precisely where each application demands it. Available in diameters from 17" to 22" with an optional centerlock configuration, the R101 Lightweight is offered in select fitments only.

Each wheel is CNC machined from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 forged aluminum, delivering an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio while minimizing unsprung mass and rotational inertia. Standard knurling on the tire bead seat helps prevent tire slippage, and every wheel ships OE TPMS and lug hardware compatible. HRE backs every wheel with a Lifetime Limited Structural Warranty and a 2-Year Finish Warranty, and every forged order placed through TFS includes up to $1,000 in credit toward tires, other wheels, or accessories.

Finish options include 13 standard solid colors plus optional transparent colors — available over brushed, polished, stone, or frozen metal surfaces — and fully custom colors are available on request. All HRE forged wheels are Made in USA from domestic and foreign materials.

Manufacturer's series page

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.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the HRE R101 Lightweight different from the standard HRE R101?
The R101 Lightweight is purpose-engineered for specific vehicle models rather than built to a universal fitment. HRE uses each model's load rating and power output data to redesign the wheel from the ground up, removing weight and reinforcing stiffness exactly where that vehicle requires it. This results in a wheel starting at just 16 lbs — a meaningful reduction over a standard forged design.
What diameters and configurations are available for the R101 Lightweight?
The HRE R101 Lightweight is available in diameters ranging from 17" to 22". A centerlock configuration is also available for compatible vehicles. Because this wheel is offered in select fitments only, we recommend submitting a quote request so our team can confirm availability for your specific application.
What finish options does the HRE R101 Lightweight come in?
The R101 Lightweight is offered in 13 standard solid finishes. Optional transparent colors are also available, applied over brushed, polished, stone, or frozen metal surfaces for a distinctive layered look. If none of the available options suit your build, fully custom colors can be requested directly through HRE.
What warranty does HRE provide on the R101 Lightweight?
HRE backs the R101 Lightweight with a Lifetime Limited Structural Warranty covering the integrity of the forged aluminum construction, plus a 2-Year Finish Warranty covering the surface treatment. These warranties apply to all HRE forged wheels sold through authorized retailers like TFS Wheels.
Does purchasing the HRE R101 Lightweight through TFS Wheels include any additional benefits?
Yes. Every forged wheel order placed through TFS Wheels includes up to $1,000 in credit that can be applied toward tires, other wheels, or accessories. This credit is included with your order at no additional cost.
How much does the HRE R101 Lightweight cost, and how do I order?
The HRE R101 Lightweight starts at $3,450 per wheel, which is the Series R1 starting price. Because these are made-to-order forged wheels built to your exact vehicle specifications, they are sold through a request-a-quote process. Submit your vehicle details, preferred diameter, and finish choices, and a TFS Wheels specialist will provide a detailed quote.
