HRE R161 Lightweight

The HRE R161 Lightweight is a one-piece forged monoblock wheel purpose-built for 6-lug SRT Viper applications. Drawing inspiration from the R101 design language, the R161 takes weight reduction a step further by leveraging load rating and power output data specific to each Viper model variant—allowing HRE's engineers to surgically remove mass and add rigidity exactly where it matters most. Note: the R161 Lightweight is available in select fitments only and is not offered for 5-lug vehicles.

Each wheel is CNC-machined from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 forged aluminum billet right here in the USA, delivering an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio that directly reduces unsprung mass and rotational inertia. Standard knurling on the tire bead seat helps prevent tire slippage under hard driving, and every wheel ships OE TPMS- and lug-hardware-compatible. A centerlock configuration is also available—contact us for details.

Choose from 77 available finishes across 19", 20", and 21" diameters, with pricing starting at $3,450 per wheel. Every forged wheel order placed through TFS includes up to $1,000 in credit toward tires, additional wheels, or accessories. HRE backs each R161 with a Lifetime Limited Structural Warranty and a 2-Year Finish Warranty.
