how to tell if authentic HRE?
guys,

I found a set of "hre" rims for sale but the rims have the bmw center caps( off a 7).

How can i be 100 percent sure they are HRE and can i get HRE caps?



Thanks

HREs are custom made 3pc. wheels, and I believe, on the back, they say HRE

HRE should be molded on some where....also remember HRE wheels are EXPENSIVE, so if you see some insane deal like "4 HRE 19" rims for $500"....they aren't HRE's.

I have a set of HRE C series with black centers on my other ride. HRE is stamped on the wheel center near the fasteners and easily seen with the wheels on the car.
