About

HRE R161 Lightweight

The HRE R161 Lightweight is a one-piece forged monoblock wheel engineered exclusively for 6-lug SRT Viper applications. Building on the design language of the R101, HRE took a model-specific approach—analyzing the load rating and power output of each Viper variant to surgically remove weight and add stiffness exactly where the engineering demands it. The result is a wheel purpose-built to push lightweight optimization as far as physics allows. 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, minimizing unsprung mass and rotational inertia for measurable gains in performance and handling response. Standard knurling on the tire bead seat helps prevent tire slippage, and the design is fully compatible with OE TPMS sensors and lug hardware. Centerlock configurations are also available—contact us for details. Every HRE R161 Lightweight is Made in the USA and backed by a Lifetime Limited Structural Warranty plus a 2-Year Finish Warranty.

Personalization options are extensive: choose from 13 standard solid finishes, or explore 61 optional transparent colors applied over brushed, polished, stone, or frozen metal surfaces for a truly custom look. Fully bespoke custom colors are available on request. Available in 19", 20", and 21" diameters, pricing starts at $3,450 per wheel (series price). Every forged wheel order placed through TFS includes up to $1,000 in credit toward tires, additional wheels, or accessories.

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.
