Thats one freaky looking wheel.
It's certainly a design thats only possible with 3d printing.

Cool wheel.
Curious if clear coat will be an option in order to fill in all those porous surfaces, because once brake dust bakes in there... What is the cost for a set of 4? |

Are you saying a printed wheel is just as strong as forged billet wheel of the same material? Or are you saying that because titanium is stronger than 6061, you can print titanium and still retain enough strength? In other words... is HRE using titanium to make up for the weaker method of printing a wheel?

Machining time of our most simplistic design that we make (like a Classic series), can be machined in about an hour and a half. Additive manufacturing has it's benefits, but speed isn't one of them the moment when comparing to machining a wheel out of a forging for the time being. I'm sure with technological advances those times are going to start coming down. Also once machines get large enough to print an entire wheel I'm sure that will help significantly too since we had to make this wheel in 5 separate pieces, then bolted together. |

These wheels do not fit the P1 at all in my opinion, that car has many soft and flowy lines whereas the wheels have very sharp and jagged lines
Cool concept and you can tell how much workmanship and art went into these, very cool! |

Would be suited to a car that’s more of a work of art, like Pagoni...or along those lines anyways. Not really a sports car style wheel. Although these sure do illustrate the unlimited 3D designs that can be possible. And on a carbon barrel no less. Wow!

Wow in 5 mins I just thought of a dozen different designs that would be amazing, and equally terrible to keep clean, haha. Future will be awesome with design options no longer limited to machining. Should offer a custom designed rim service. Even at 30k each someone would sit down to design something for a one off on a Chiron or Pagoni.

Did none of you read the article?
Jesus Christ, it’s a concept to show off the technology. Look with your eyes. It’s a P101 inside a P201, with a ton of seasoning on top.

Amazing.
I think big enough machines already exist in aerospace but they are probably a) prohibitive to buy and b) all 110% backlogged with engine parts etc orders right now Hope this continues progressing. Aluminum is so 1950’s |

Their Carbon Wheel way back when was around 40k I think.

Amazing technology
Amazing technology, very impressive concept wheel. How about some triple-split 5 spokes?
