HRE FF04?

What do you all think of HRE's new FF04 rims?

Would love some pics of them on a e9X, preferably an e90, if available.

You can much better appreciate it seeing it side-on - looks great to me!

Side-on is good

Agree that side-on they look pretty good.

Just not sure about the aesthetics of where each pair of spokes are joined by a visually distinct bridge of metal at the rim edge.

Hoping for some pics, but the wheels are relatively new, so perhaps no pics on an e9X are available.

Judging from the video, they look better on lighter color cars. Wheels with thinner spokes often need the visual "weight" of the tires to offset their visual "weight." Light colors work well in this instance, whereas dark colors, like the black F82, do not.

The wheels themselves look fantastic imo. Would love to fit a set.

We did not make a specific E9x M3 fitment for the FF04's, so I won't have a fitment which will be plug and play out of the box, we're going to need to use some spacers.

Our M2 fitment can be utilized for E9x M3's with spacers - 19x9 ET20 and 19x10 ET35.

The 19x10.5 ET26 is only available on the FF01 and FF15. That fitment wasn't carried over to the FF04 because the latest M3 utilizes a 11" ET43 instead of a low offset wheel.

Spacer

What would you recommend?

10mm spacer in the rear? Seems like the front 19 x 9 et 20 would be a direct fit.

My car is lowered on Swift springs...1.0" front, 0.7" rear.

Thank you.

Thanks,
