Dunedindon#5481 Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Nice, very nice. I've had my eyes on those HRE Monoblock wheels for quite some time. They look great on your Tungsten GT500. Great choice. Really unique and one of the few wheels that are worthy of replacing the Alcoas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hess Motorsports Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 HRE's are always a great choice! I just had to remove HRE's for the new wide body. I had the 795R in 20x9 and 20x11. I just had to quickly find 20x11 fronts and 20x14 rears and HRE couldn't get them to me in time. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustang5 Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Were any modifications to the car required to run that size tire and wheel? Yes but not from Shelby. 20x9.5 and 20x11 Nitto NT05 275/35/20 and 315/35/20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIKEBOY Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 03 DSG- Hey man, those wheels look diamonds on your car with the color stripe! I really like them on your color car. I`m not too sure they would work on just any car? Those Canadian wing inserts look great too!! Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03 DSG Snake Posted June 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Were any modifications to the car required to run that size tire and wheel? I had already cut trimmed the bracket and shock boots for running 335 Alcoas. I think these would fit without those mods however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A10ACN Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 I just opened this out of curiosity and was burning time, but WOW! Those HREs are IT on your car! Very sublime, great lines! I like those much better than Alcoas. Do you know the weight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

03 DSG Snake Posted July 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 I just opened this out of curiosity and was burning time, but WOW! Those HREs are IT on your car! Very sublime, great lines! I like those much better than Alcoas. Do you know the weight? I started to weigh them vs. the Alcoas when I was swapping the rims over, but in my excitement to get the new ones on I didn't put as much effort into weighing them as I had wanted. The front wheels + tires were maybe 8-10 lbs lighter each vs. the Alcoa wheels and tires, and the rears were about 10-12lbs lighter (Alcoas were widened to 11.75" and had 335s). All in all it was a nice bit of rotating mass savings. how does it hook? looks awesome The NT05s are pretty solid on the street, but I haven't pushed them too far yet. On the road course they GRIP. Thanks for all the compliments. I'm going to use this smilie because it looks new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6-Speed Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 I was smitten by the HRE Monoblocks when I first saw them on the Steeda Street Fighter Mustang. They are my favorite wheel, but don't think I can afford them. Do you happen to know the offset and backspacing spec for the front and rears?

They are my favorite wheel, but don't think I can afford them. Do you happen to know the offset and backspacing spec for the front and rears? That's exactly what pushed me over the edge. I have wanted a set of HRE wheels for years, and after seeing the Steeda Street Fighter at numerous shows for about 2 years I decided to finally bite the bullet. Not sure on the specs, I let HRE use what they found to be best. Sizes and tires are the same as the Steeda car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YZD263 Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 As much as I love the Alcoas, these wheels look even better, and match especially well with your color combo. This is one classy looking ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just one great post man, just well, great. Thank you sir. I had a blast driving the GT500 on the big track. I hadn't had it on there since it was bone stock.
