Not that there is anything wrong with the standard wheels on the Porsche 918 Spyder, but some owners like to swap them over for a set of high-end aftermarket rims, just because it’s a cool thing to do. The owner of this red Porsche 918 went to HRE wheels for this treatment since these guys have already done a 918.
It may not show clearly in this dusk photoshoot, but the Brushed Dark Clear HRE P101 wheels they have used are the perfect complement for the paint job on this unique red Porsche 918. They come with small HRE logos and original Porsche center caps, so only those who know what they’re looking will realize how special it is.
