Famous wheel maker HRE Wheels becomes one of the first firms in the business to fit a Porsche 918 Spyder with their unique rims. This, of course, is all about bragging rights and the prestige of the work. This is the realization of a rendering they released a while back, only here the car is black.

This gorgeous black Porsche 918 is equipped with a set of HRE P101 in Brushed Dark Clear. The simple and elegant design of the rims combined with the classy finish give the whole thing a fantastic look. Although we’re not too sure about the standard green brake calipers. They are unique, for sure, but not that in tune with the dark theme of the car.
