No, but they're not really race wheels...

those wheels are forged correct? i guess you have to make a compromise somewhere when you have light, forged wheels.

No Correctly forged wheels bend, the early fuch Porsche you can fold that wheel into a taco before it ever cracks

HRE sucks and they are banned from race tracks...considering they aren't "true race wheels" anyways I guess it's no real surprise, but for the price you pay for them you would think they would have better construction.

nteresting thread. The wheels in the picture didn't look like HRE wheels. So, I sent an e-mail off to the dealer that I purchased my HRE wheels from. Here is the reply:

"Those are not HRE wheels, those are Kinesis K58s. That particular wheel was
refinished before the race, and the problem was traced back to the strip
process with was cycled at 500 deg F for 15 min. That process will no
longer be used to strip powdercoat.
