Quick advice!! Volk G25 vs HRE Flowform

jc824 · 06-10-2013, 09:12 PM

Comparing a set of Volk G25 in black vs HRE flowform in satin black.

Both in 19's and trying to decide which to get. On JB e90.

I guess one of the factors would be obviously the Volks are forged vs the HRE's being cast wheels.

What do you think for looks and if similar price!?!

Forged. Always go forged.

I'm a big fan of HRE but I would definitely go with Volk given those choices. The G25 is a great looking wheel and the sizes and offsets are great. Volk is one of the best in the business.

Both wheels are made in japan so you cant go wrong with either. My intel tells me the HRE flow form stuff is manufactured by Enkei.

I would suggest the G25, Lighter, Stronger and The Formula Silver/Black Clear finish is amazing in person..

If you are ok with a cast wheel the Flowform is great choice if you want that style.

HRE makes awesome wheels, and so does Volk. If I had to choose between forged and cast wheels, i'll always pick forged. Forged wheels are generally lighter and stronger than cast wheels.

I've owned both HRE and Volk wheels, but only forged wheels in both cases. I'm confident that the HRE flow formed wheels are excellent and strong, but I'd go with the Volks since they're forged (i.e. lighter and stronger).
