The HRE 505 is the five-spoke anchor of HRE's Vintage Series — a period-authentic design whose proportions reference the formative era of American performance wheel manufacturing, produced in a contemporary three-piece forged construction at HRE's Vista, California facility. The 505's spoke geometry captures the purposeful simplicity of great 1970s and 1980s wheel design, with a forged aluminum face and barrel assembled in aerospace-grade titanium hardware that the original wheels of that era could never have matched in strength, precision, or finish quality.
Every HRE 505 is built-to-order. Width, offset, and PCD are specified at time of purchase for an exact chassis match.
Because the HRE 505 is produced to custom order, sizes beyond the standard catalogue range are available upon request through Hodoor World's concierge sourcing service. Contact us with your vehicle specifications — make, model, year, and desired stance — and our fitment specialists will configure the correct width, offset, and load rating. We also offer an AI Wheel Design Service if you want a custom spoke pattern or finish concept designed before production begins.
The HRE Vintage Series pays tribute to the golden era of American performance wheel design — a period in the 1970s and 1980s when a generation of engineers and designers at companies like HRE first demonstrated that a precision-machined forged aluminum wheel could transform both the performance and the aesthetic of a sports car. Each Vintage Series model is a contemporary three-piece forged interpretation of a design from that era, produced at HRE's Vista, California facility using modern forging alloys, CNC machining tolerances, and titanium hardware that the original wheels could never have achieved.
The Vintage Series occupies a unique position in the HRE catalogue — it is simultaneously a collector's reference and a driver's wheel. Clients who choose a Vintage model are often building period-correct restomods, air-cooled Porsche projects, or classic American muscle builds where authenticity of form matters as much as engineering performance. The three-piece forged format allows face, barrel, and lip to each be finished independently — making it possible to recreate period two-tone colour schemes in machined aluminium and painted surface combinations that reference the original production designs while meeting contemporary quality standards. All Vintage Series models are available across the full HRE size range to order.
All fitments are representative configurations. Confirm offsets and clearances with your vehicle build sheet before ordering.
In addition to the configurations above, the HRE 505 is available in a wide range of bolt patterns for European, American, and Japanese performance vehicles. Common PCDs include 5x120, 5x108, 5x98, 5x100, 4x100, and 4x108. Contact Hodoor World for your specific application.
