Just so NOBODY thinks HRE is trying to say all of our wheels are TUV certified, we’ll state it again. NOT ALL HRE WHEELS ARE TUV CERTIFIED. The certifications we show above show these 2 things:
1. Our Quality Management System is TUV certified – This is the hard part requiring the audit and adherence to a strict quality control process.
2. The certs for the wheels shows only that the P43 in that particular width, offset, diameter, etc. is TUV certified. This required 3 wheels to be tested; Radial fatigue, Cornering fatigue, Impact. This is one style in one specification, not 6 wheels. To TUV cert the P43 across all applications is a daunting and expensive process. We were just showing an example so you know what a genuine TUV wheel testing certification looks like.
Now all that being said, we have TUV certified dozens of wheels, usually in popular styles, like the P40 in several specifications for our popular fitments for Porsche, BMW, Audi, etc. Not all Porsches, not all BMWs, not all styles. Does this make sense?
NOW THIS IS IMPORTANT: Officially you’re not supposed to be able to have a TUV certified WHEELS WITHOUT the TUV certified FACILITY. However, many TUV vehicle registration stations will accept a TUV test cert of the wheel and never “bother to check” if the company itself holds a TUV certification. This is unfortunate as there is no guarantee that the quality of the wheel tested is representative of all the wheels manufactured (even of the same specification). If the company doesn’t have a professional QM system, the variability is simply unknown. HRE worked to get our COMPANY certified BEFORE we sent any WHEELS to certify so when we present a TUV wheel certification, it is all by the book.
We are also very careful to make sure what we say accurately represents the truth in what we do and in what is required. Lying or trying to trick people isn’t good for long-term business and we expect to be here a long time. So please don’t compare us to those that don’t care to tell the truth or simply don’t understand what is required. If we make a mistake, we are open about it. If we say something incorrect, please feel free to correct us.
Also, if you’re an industry person, as it is clear some of the newer members on this thread are, we think you should state your company and post as a company representative. HRE posts as HRE. We believe it helps all the members of this forum if everyone knows where the info is coming from, not just what is being said. We don’t care if you’re helping or bashing HRE and others, we’d just like to see you do it out in the open.
