Those that know me best, I've been preaching "Step-Lip" since day one. Step-lip just have that much more character and personality than boring old reverse-lip. But it is funny, step-lip has been around a lot longer than most people know.Back-in-the-days, wheel companies used a step-lip to achieve a 1" inch larger diameter without cutting new centers. For example, this HRE wheel is a 20" inch with step-lip. Well, the face is still a 19" inch face. The step-lip bumps the diameter to a 20". So, which means the 19" inch face can be universally used for either 19" or 20" inch wheels. Get it?
Here are 2 excellent examples of HRE step-lip on BMW M cars.
So why are HRE wheels that much more than everybody else? Fit, Finish, and Quality. Every wheel is just that much more cleaner than everybody else. HRE either use Triangle or ARS barrels. Again, nothing but the best. Even down to the hardware is stress test and torqued to exact specs. Made in the US and assemble here as well.
It seems like the more I research HRE the more they have grown on me. And once their step-lips were offered, I was a believer.
