VISTA, Calif., April 15, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- HRE Performance Wheels (www.hrewheels.com), a leading designer and manufacturer of high-quality forged aluminum custom wheels, today announced it has launched the 990R wheel series, as well as expanded its successful Monoblok Series to include styles for BMW vehicles.
The 990R Series offers seven new styles in 20, 21 and 22-inch diameters for some of the world's most prestigious vehicles such as Bentley, Range Rover, Mercedes-Benz and others. The wheels combine the utmost in performance and style, creating the ultimate luxury wheel. The 990R Series is the successor to the popular 940R Series, which became the benchmark for forged three-piece luxury wheels with its world-class styling and quality. The 990R Series is completely redesigned and combines a more aggressive styling with a lighter weight and higher strength using 6061-T6 forged components and high-strength ARP stainless fasteners.
In response to BMW owners asking for the ability to purchase HRE's acclaimed Monoblok Series, HRE has introduced three styles for BMW in 19 and 20-inch diameters. The styles are available for BMW M3, M5 and M6. Forged from a single solid piece of 6061-T6 aluminum and CNC machined to perfection, these high-strength, lightweight wheels are the finest blend of style and performance available. To ensure there are no compromises in safety, the new BMW Monoblok Series directly accepts the factory tire pressure monitoring sensors.
"These two new series represent a response to the evolving tastes and needs of luxury car owners," said Evan Kinsella, president of HRE Performance Wheels. "Our forged one-piece Monoblok Series has been very well-received and we are anticipating a large response from BMW owners."
