If you are asking about pricing, I may need to use the quote "If you have to ask, you can't afford it".
Did not expect that kind of statement from a well established / respectful company like HRE..

Honestly, what a stupid statement. I don't care how wealthy I am, I would never buy something of this caliber without asking about the price... Easy come, easy go.

I'm honestly not impressed and surprised HRE would make such bold statements? Back at SEMA 2007 I talked to another wheel company that was already making these and had them on race cars. CF rim with magnesium center. The last picture is of one that was on a flipped 911 GT3 racecar. The magnesium center broke off the hub first, but you can see the rim itself really only has a chunk missing out if it, it's not completely shattered. These aren't decorative either; the guy at the booth was one of the engineers and we started talking about real engineering stuff; definitely the real deal, not just pretty covering.

Yeah, one of the guys on here was at a Eurocharged Dyno tuning day, he had a SLK55 with full straight pipes and had the Dymag CF Wheels.

Nice wheels but according to HRE, I cannot afford them. That's fine, I will just take my business somewhere else.

The wheel was broken at a track event in Mexico the customer runs full slicks all the time at the track and these wheels had about 60 full track days on them unfortunately they were not checked after each event and the spoke developed a hairline crack that started from the engraving on the back of the spoke. They stamp the back of the spokes with the model number of the mold. The crack propagated causing the spoke to break in half and transfering the weight load the the remaining spoke as he continued to run the wheel then broke as he was in a straight line braking zone at the end of a staright away.
The damage to the car was minimal about $10k and Dymag paid for the damage and the full set of wheels the car was back at the track in 10 days time and the customer was fully reimbursed.
The magnesium center was sent to a testing lab here in the U.S. to make sure that it had all the properties it should have for cast magnesium the test results came back with passing results and upon inspection of the wheel it was determined that fatigue was what caused the failure.
