HRE Performance Wheels 309

A dense fan, webbed inside the rivet ring

Where the 303 is fine, the 309 is finer and there are more of them. The spokes are narrow enough that the face reads as texture rather than structure, and just inside the bolt ring each pair is tied together by a small web, which stiffens the pattern into a ring of tiny arches. The stepped polished lip outside it gives the whole face a hard edge to stop at.

Dense faces like this go quiet in dark finishes and get loud in bright ones - the same wheel can look like a solid disc or like a wire wheel depending on the color. Because so little sits behind it, the 309 is also the Classic design that hides a scruffy brake or a plain barrel most effectively.

Classic, forged 3-piece, offered in 18", 19", 20", 21", 22", 23", 24". Luxury sedans and long coupes, and it reads especially well under white, champagne and light metallic wraps that keep the fan from closing up. We've rendered it on 231 cars so far — same studio frame each time, wheel swapped in place.
