E36 m3 hre 501

[e34///M]

Ive been toying with the idea of running 18's. when i typed hre 501 into google and didnt see many examples i figured i would give it a shot. Still not sure what I think about it but i must say the idea is growing on me. These showed up today thanks to the ups fairy.

Nice work done on it,its a great construction,i appreciate you on this because its a very hard work to rebuild a car but its really very interesting,i hope you can enjoy a lot with your work.

[hi its me alec]

Looks great, maybe they would look better with HRE red/white/blue center caps instead of the BMW ones. They almost look like they could be some sort of replicas with the BMW caps, haha.

Hardtop convertible with the 501's is just perfect.

I honestly like the way your car looks over the regular coupes, well done.

God I love that hardtop. Awesome choice of wheels as well!

Thanks man.. hard top was a must for me ... i could never get the pesky automatic top to function right... so i did this.

[e34///M]

First off let me be the first to say the automatic top assembly is heavy!! No help for the wife so had to nut up and lift it up and out by myself

reminds me of Bumble bee's doors lol (ok ok im reaching i know.. just saw transformers ok!)



With the top out i new I had to come up with a clever way to mount the hard top



Harbor freight reciprocating saw made mence meat of the rag top frame. this is whats left that 120lbs give or take gone


Lunch!


my little me approves

I think they are reps

I think they are reps

I was going to say the same. The lips look machined and not like HRE lips. Are there any markings on the wheels to signify they are HREs?

[e34///M]

i dont think so .. guess this explains why they were 800$...

Mine had a serial number etched in the hub mounting area. I would say that they are reps then, $800 would get you one wheel new lol

[royalife]

yea they're reps forsure but the car still looks bad ass.

yea i went out during lunch.. no such etching.. i didnt even care that ppl in the parking lot were looking at me crazy lol

[bostongrnM3]

they look like the avant garde reps of the hre 501. no biggie you could easily sell em for what you bought them for.

car looks incredible with the hardtop btw
