Hey guys!

Not sure if you've noticed the new HRE Flow formed FF01 wheels, but these wheels are HOTTTTT! What a great set up with a great looking wheel with a huge brand name. Who's interested in a set?!

From October 6th until November 7th, get an even better deal with 20% off! More details on Post#10!

Recommended fitment is the following:
Front - 19x8.5 ET30 - 225/35/19
Rear - 19x9.5 ET43.5 - 255/30/19

HRE Performance Wheels' all new line of FlowForm wheels are manufactured utilizng a unique casting and forming process that creates a wheel with strength properties similar to those of a forged wheel.

The process begins with pouring molten aluminum into a mold face-side-down, where it is then rapidly cooled. By quickly cooling the metal down right after heating it up (sometimes referred to as quenching), the aluminum alloy becomes more dense, and thereby enhancing the elastic strength and durability of the wheel.

After the wheel face is formed (Fig A), it is pulled from the mold and placed into the flow-forming machine, (Fig B) which operates in a manner similar to a potters' wheel. This process stretches the barrel downward, causing the metal to "flow" into the correct "form", hence the name, and this process ultimately gives the wheel its final shape (Fig C).

This "stretching" process changes the internal grain structure of the aluminum (much like the direction of the grain makes a difference in wood), making it stronger, lighter and more precise than a non-flow-formed barrel, resulting in forged aluminum-like strength.

Thanks for looking guys! What do you think!?

Yep! They obviously had an exact fitment in mind that they wanted to achieve. Just shows how exact HRE wants to be with this fitment, which isn't a bad thing at all

If people on the forum are buying up Gram Lights and Volks, these will be around a similar price. They're not nearly as much as their fully forged wheels because the rotary forging process saves cost on the retail side for customers
