HRE Flowform Wheels

WOW. Sexy!





Don't know when they will be available. Website states starting at 22lbs which is good for a 19" and the set will be just under $3,000.

Here's a LINK to the website press release.

Low pressure cast wheels are pretty light compared to traditional cast wheels. Its a more affordable way to get into a lightweight wheel without spending the amount a forged wheel demands

For those who may not know:

gravity cast < low-pressure cast < flow-form/rotary forged < forged

P40S would be awesome but those are big $$. Set you back more than $6K for a set of 4. These are based on the P40 and half the price.

Pretty expensive for a TSW Nurburgring with an HRE stamp.

Starting at 19s? Too big for this car imo, 18s would have been quite nice.

That's not even remotely a good price when companies like WORK, Vossen, Forgestar etc offer the same technology for much less.

I would go HRE over TSW any day but thats just me. Also there are only so many ways to skin a cat.

Another knock off. Comes down personal preference
