HRE Performance Wheels | 40th Anniversary for HRE Wheels - Now Re-introducing the 540

FlowForm_Wheels · Sep 29, 2017

Any Ford Raptor fans in here? We re-developed our P101 wheel to accommodate a 6-lug pattern for Raptors. The wheels are of course beefed up as well to accommodate the kind of driving these cars were meant for. Here is our HRE P161 Wheel in Satin Black, and in 18" (also available in 20" and 22"):

Getting up close and personal on one of our latest finishes, one of our our latest wheel styles. Here's an RS309M with our Stone Bronze finish:

If you haven't had a chance to see our Stone finishes yet, what makes these different than anything else is the granite-like pattern you see in the aluminum material itself. Very unique, and pretty cool to look at as well. Here's an example of Stone Clear which has the Stone process done, followed by a simple gloss clear coat:

Here at HRE we're always looking for the newest, latest and greatest by innovating and engineering to the highest possible level. Curious to see what you guys think of Stone

HRE Classic 300 (3-piece) in Satin Black

I would love to see these on a GT350 with as much lip as possible

High offset cars like the Mustang and GT350 don't really get huge lip sizes unfortunately. It has nothing to do with the way we make wheels or the way anyone makes wheels, rather the way the car was built.

For example this GT350 we did a set of Classic 305's on uses a 1.5 lip on the front and rear. We could have achieved a maximum lip size of 2.5" up front, and a maximum size of 2" for the rear, but the problem is, why would you run a 2.5" lip up front with a smaller one on the rear? Might as well have them match otherwise it's going to look funky, so maximum lip size truly is 2.0", if you select an HO/HO profile which is our flattest conical profile. The fitment below uses a LO/MO, in order to get a 1.5" lip on front and rear (front offset in the teens, rears in the 50's):

Meanwhile, this is what everyone wants, I know:

A set up just like this with a huge lip is awesome, and everyone wants it no doubt. This car is actually the reason why I wanted to go with the Classic 300's so trust me, I know I want it too, but not every car is built in this way to fit such an aggressive wheel. The fitment of the rear wheels on this car is way more aggressive than any Shelby GT350 would be able to achieve. It's a 13" wide wheel with essentially a ET of 0, which is the reason why we're able to run a 5" lip on the rears and 4" up front.

Ok, thanks I was hoping for something with a 3" lip, let me know if you ever make a set with a 2" lip so I can see what it looks like

How much lip is this on the black set on the Mopar?

I have more photos of that as well:

Fitment on this Hellcat is 20x10 fronts with a 1.5" Lip (just like the GT350) and the rear is 20x11 with a 2.0" Lip. So if you like the way that looks, we can do something similar. The Hellcat uses rear wheels with offsets that are about 20mm's more aggressive than the GT350, but similar fitment up front.

It's commonly known that HRE has a huge amount of finish options to choose from with our Forged wheels. From Brushing, to Polishing, and even some creative ideas we've come up with ourselves, we have lots of colors to choose from. I wanted to post up some example finishes, to give you an idea of the amount of finishes we have to offer.

First though, what are Brushed finishes? After a wheel has been machined to it's appropriate design, each wheel is hand brushed for 1-3 hours depending on the complexity of the design. After the wheel has been Brushed we apply our Powdercoat which can either be a transparent color, like Brushed Gold will have a transparent Gloss Gold Powdercoat, we can apply just a clear coat and there you have a Brushed Clear Wheel. Alternatively instead of optioning a Glossy Clear coat, we can apply a Satin Clear coat, and there you would have our Frozen finishes. Take a look:

Thanks for taking a look! Lots more awesome finishes to consider, these are some of the more popular choices we have. We have over 80+ finishes to choose from so there's certainly something for everyone!

So what is your favorite color choice of the ones I posted above?

FlowForm_Wheels · Nov 17, 2017

Yes you heard us right, we have a new line of finishes to introduce to our FlowForm series! Our new line of finishes that we are calling STONE can be applied on our FlowForm FF01, FF15, and FF04 wheel styles as you see below in a few examples.

What is our Stone finish you ask? Great question! Stone resembles a similar texture or pattern to that of Granite, hence the name Stone. This effect gives a very dynamic look to the wheels, and when a transparent color is added, you get wild finishes like some of the examples you see below. Not only that, but we can produce Frozen Stone finishes on these wheels as well, which involves using a Satin Clear coat instead of a Gloss Clear coat which gives the finish a more muted feel, all the while looking stunning.

I have here a couple close up images to share with you so you can really get a good look at our Stone finish. These two examples you see here are in our Stone Gold finish:

I also wanted to attach a few photos of what our Stone Clear looks like because this is essentially what the base layer of your wheels would look like. This wheel does indeed have a Glossy Clear Coat over it, but this gives you a good representation of how the finish looks in it's most raw form (Shown on a Classic 305 Forged Wheel):

I will have more photos and examples of the finishes coming up shortly! Stay tuned! Make sure to let your HRE dealers know that you want a Stone finish for your next FlowForm Wheel set!

With all of our Stone finishes, the base layer which gives us this granite-like effect will done of course, but the transparent layer you can put on top can be altered to accommodate a GLOSS Clear coat, or a SATIN Clear Coat. Stone finishes with a Gloss Clear coat, we'll call Stone Red for example, but those with a Satin Clear coat we'll call Frozen Stone. So what I have for you below is the Gloss version next to the Satin version of the same color. Starting off I have Stone Clear which just has a clear coat on, no transparent color, and below it the Satin version, Frozen Stone Clear:
