it can be a 180rwhp car and will still break quick . It is not a question of how much power . I have seen quite a number of +1000rwhp cars and are very reliable
^^^^ These !!!!
* Sticking with intended use of the car and built accordingly with all the right parts and by the right people , no reason why it won't be reliable.
Better move and enjoy that car more

.HRE 446 19 staggered Supra fitment. They are awesome. Currently cleaning them now. Amazing the quality of these wheels.
Here's a sneak peak at a rear wheel before being cleaned. Stay tuned. More to come!

Congrats on the new wheels!
It looks like it has a 180 degree valve stem on the barrel instead of a 90 degree. Make sure you change to 90 degree before mounting the wheels on your car. I screwed up a few years back and mounted a wheel with a 180 degree valve stem in the back, and it scratched a brand new bbk and blew out a tire/damaged a wheel because the valve stem was smacking the caliper while driving and snapped. It was really close, but barely cleared when test fitting and spinning the rim.

Did you order hre bolts or an aftermarket company? If you're planning on splitting your wheels, then the torque spec is 22 ft lbs for M8x1.25 x 32mm bolts. The sealant is Dow Corning 733. I might have covered wheel building in my build thread, but I don't remember off the top of my head.

That's good to hear. I didn't want to see you make the same mistake I did.

I guess $650 isn't unreasonable because HRE hardware is grade 12.9 (plus they engrave them). If you want to see unreasonable, ARP nuts and bolts are $1,636.16 (consumer price) bolts are 787.84 and nuts are 848.32.
I wasn't sure if you were replacing them because of the rust. I had to do the same on mine to remove the surface rust, then I polished 160 bolts.
*Edit* I just noticed your picture looks like it says 10.9 on the bolts.

Wow. This car STOPS. Can't wait to get the rear done. My HRE wheels are still being cleaned up but will be on next week. Also the rear 4 piston brembo brakes will go on next week. Here's a quick side shot. Someone wanted to see the z06 calipers with TT rears. Here ya go!
