A market leader in forged wheels for ages, HRE now offers its FlowForm line of wheels featuring iconic styling and a level of quality embodied by the HRE brand, all at an accessible price point. This cast flow formed wheel is made in Japan with the highest level of design and engineering available in the world today. HRE uses a process called Flow Forming, which is also referred to as Rotary Forging. Essentially, through this process, you get the strength of a Forged barrel with a cast face of a wheel, which gives you the lightness that you want and the durability of a powdercoated finish!

WHAT IS FLOWFORM?
Our FlowForm wheels are created using a unique casting and forming process that obtains strengths similar to a forged wheel.

The process begins by pouring molten aluminum into a mold face-side-down followed by rapid cooling. By doing this, the aluminum alloy is condensed and in turn enhances the elastic strength and durability.

After the wheel is formed [a] it is pulled from the mold and placed into the flow forming tooling [B] which is similar to the concept of a potters’ wheel. This process stretches the barrel to a defined profile and thickness, ultimately giving the wheel its final shape [c]. This “stretching” improves the grain structure of the aluminum making it stronger, lighter and more precise than a non-flow formed barrel resulting in forged aluminum-like strength.

Our intention with FlowForm was to make them as awesome as humanly possible. Designed in San Diego, manufactured in Japan to stringent HRE standards.

Engineered utilizing our long history of making high performance wheels.

They're lightweight, starting at just over 22lbs. each (for reference, a 19" BMW 351M wheel weighs over 32lbs., a comparable FF01 weighs 24.4lbs).
