HRE R161 Lightweight is a forged Monoblok wheel from HRE's Series R1, developed with a strong focus on reducing weight while maintaining the stiffness required for high-performance applications.
The wheel is manufactured from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 forged aluminum, providing a high strength-to-weight ratio. HRE engineers each application according to the vehicle's load rating and power output, optimizing the design to remove unnecessary weight while adding stiffness where required.
R161 Lightweight is engineered to reduce unsprung mass and rotational inertia, helping support sharper handling response and improved vehicle dynamics. The wheel is CNC machined to custom specifications for the selected vehicle application.
The R161 uses a 1-piece Monoblok construction and includes standard knurling on the tire bead seat to help prevent tire slippage under demanding driving conditions. It is also compatible with OE TPMS and lug hardware where applicable.
HRE R161 Lightweight is available in 19", 20" and 21" diameters, with custom finishes and application-specific specifications available depending on the vehicle.
The R161 Lightweight is primarily designed for 6-lug SRT Viper applications and is not available for conventional 5-lug vehicles. HRE directs 5-lug applications toward the R101 Lightweight instead. Selected Centerlock applications may also be available depending on vehicle configuration.
