New HRE Flow Form Wheels
What do you think of the new P40 style HRE FF01? Looks great to me.
Question: Does HRE have its own manufacturing facility or is it sub-contracted to someone else? |

If they are "flow formed" that would make them better than just plain old cast wheels right? It's kinda semi-forged right?

Flow forming does result in a much stronger wheel than a standard casting process might allow for. The HRE flow formed wheels will have a very high strength, while maintaining a price point that is in line with other flow formed wheels on the market and much lower than the rest of the HRE line. It's a great move on HRE's part, in my opinion.

That will depend on the specifics of the wheel.

Brands that I consider actually top of the food chain consist only of Rays, BBS, Advan, OZ and Enkei. All of which makes certain wheels using "flow form forging". HRE is not even in any of those leagues of wheel manufactures. HRE is good for a custom wheel brand, but its not even remotely in the same league as "REAL" wheel manufactures. I own a set of HREs, as well as Rays and BBS and Enkei, and its just not the same, good but not the same.

I say they are at the top of the wheel food chain for the following reasons: 1. forged construction 2. fully customizable fitment 3. phenomenal customer support 4. good product availability Again, this is for street wheels and not for racing products.

All of the other brands that get mentioned on this board as better then HRE all make wheels on different levels including OEM for car makers and sponsor major racing and have been in business for a lot longer. The cheap wheels ans OEMing pay for the racing efforts, that gets them credibility. I just look at this as a natural evolution for HRE and growth of their business, they are sponsor some forms of racing now and moving towards one of those top spots in more people's eyes.
