The 540 Series is one of the most iconic wheel styles we�ve ever created. Originally launched in the late �90s, the 540 Series quickly became one of HRE�s hottest sellers on cars like the E46 M3, Porsche 996 Turbo and C5 Corvette.
To commemorate our 40th Anniversary in 2018, we�ve revived just the 540 mesh style, re-engineering it to work with today�s most exclusive sports cars and SUVs, bringing a little bit of the 90�s back to enjoy.
The result is a better 540 ready to take on the next 20 years.

Thank you so much for taking a look and thank you to all who have purchased HRE wheels in the last 40 years. We look forward to another 40 years in the industry producing the highest quality custom made to order wheels around.
This is just one reason every 996 buyer needs $5,000 in cash laying around after initial purchase. If it's not deferred maintenance it's new wheels and tires!
Flange/Lip differences between each model can be seen here.
Here are the lips side by side so you can more easily see the differences between each flange style.
