View Full Version : HRE quality problem?

After waiting 11 weeks for my HRE 540R wheels (another thread perhaps) I had the tires mounted and one wheel leaks air around the bolts like crazy. It would go completely flat in a matter of 2 minutes. I watched the guys mount the tires and they didn't do anything excessive. Has anyone else had any problems with HRE wheels holding air? I'm worried the other three are just leaking much slower. Or worse yet, under the stress of driving aggressively this problem occurs.

HRE offered to fix it by shipping it back to Ca then fixing and ship it back to Texas. Or have the tire place fix it which still is going to take a few days. I'm really tired of waiting and was hoping to have the wheels before antique license plates so I'm having the store here fix it.

Anyone else with bad HRE experience or problems?

Wow, never expected HRE to mess up. But hey, nobody's perfect. Atleast they're offering to fix it.

Sorry I can't offer any input on this situation, too broke for HRE rims.

its not totally uncommon with three piece wheels; it doesn't happen a lot though.
