HRE Expands FlowForm Line With New FF04 Model
HRE adds new ten-spoke design aimed at the sports car segment to the FlowForm wheel series.




San Diego, Calif. (March, 2017) – HRE Performance Wheels is known the world over as a purveyor of beautiful and exclusive forged wheels. When it introduced the FlowForm line in 2012, HRE wanted to create a line of wheels infused with the passion and attention to detail seen it its most exclusive wheels, but at a price that was attainable for all HRE enthusiasts. Since that time, the FlowForm brand has proven itself to be the perfect entry-level product for those striving to own a set of HRE wheels. The new FF04 design marks the latest and most refined addition to the FlowForm brand and enables customers to experience HRE levels of style and performance.

The FlowForm wheel line is created using a high-tech flow-forming process which dramatically reduces the weight of the wheel without sacrificing durability and strength. The new FF04 wheels are engineered and tested to the same standards of HRE’s forged products and will carry TUV certification for sale in Europe and JWL/VIA certification for sale in Japan.

The FF04 wheel features a beautiful V-spoke design and will initially be offered in popular fitments for the BMW M3/M4, Chevrolet Camaro and Cadillac ATS-V with many more to follow in the coming months. Available in an all-new exciting standard finish called Liquid Metal, and including three new optional finishes; Eureka (Satin Metallic Gold), Vapor (Satin Metallic Silver), and Palladium (Gloss Metallic Silver).

“The success of our FlowForm brand has been amazing,” said Alan Peltier, president of HRE Performance Wheels. “As we look to further that success, the FF04 is a perfect example of how you don’t always have to sacrifice quality and style to meet an affordable price target. It just takes hard work, tremendous skill and a never-ending passion to be the best. I think this design will be our most successful FlowForm style yet, reaching enthusiasts that have long considered, but never felt they could afford an HRE wheel.”

W204 C63 recommendation is a 19x8.5 ET47 front with 235/35/19 tires and a 19x9.5 ET45 rear with 255/30/19 tires. W205's run the same rear fitment, but a different front fitment (19x9 ET35 fronts for W205)

I would love to see a picture of them on a C63, they look great on bmw M cars cuz of the concavity.. But I got the feeling the C63 will be flat face like the FF15.

Once the C63 is made from factory with low offsets we'll see some more conical profiles, but until then high offset cars will always take high offset profile wheels (flatter profiles), especially those with large brakes.

Once Mercedes fitment FF04's come in I'll have more photos for you

Although not impossible, it is highly doubtful that a P101 FlowForm version will ever be made.

Hi Jurrian,

Can I get a size recommendation for a C43 in both 19" and 20" FF04? Would like the widest fitment possible on stock suspension.

C450 and C43 fitments are the oddballs in Mercedes fitment. We're using a 19x8.5 ET47 front that must be used with a 20mm spacer to clear the upright. You can use OE 225/40/19's or upsize to 235/40/19 if you like. Rears are 19x9.5 ET45 to be used with OE 255/35/19 or upsize to 265/35/19 tires. No spacer for rears needed.

If there is enough demand for it, then we will bring in a 20" fitment, but as of right now we're only offering a 19x9 ET35 front with 19x9.5 ET45 rears (use OE tire 245/265 tires). The FF04's in this fitment aren't here quite yet, they are slated to come in around September.

I'll send you a PM with pricing info

W205 C-Class and W205 C63's aren't going to use the same fitment at least for the front pair. W205 C63 fitment uses a 19x9 ET35 front with OE tires and the rears are also 19x9.5 ET45. All good though, I'll send you a PM.

You're the first Hellcat owner to ask me for FlowForm rather than Forged. So far we've done quite a lot of Forged sets for Hellcat owners but you're the first to personally ask me for a FlowForm set, which means there is very little demand for it, especially considering the amount of Forged sales we've done. I don't see these wheels coming in as an option for the Hellcat given serious weight, and power levels. You'll probably want a Forged wheel on there anyway to make sure that your wheels can handle the substantial weight and torque.
