- All right, can we just take a moment here?
Just look at this thing.
It's so nice.
I'm not crying, you're crying.
What is going on guys?
Gels from Fitment Industries' FI Garage,
and we are back with another wheel review for you guys.
And today, we have, in all of its glory, the HRE FF04.
Now we have all heard the name HRE.
You've seen the wheels everywhere,
you see them all over Instagram,
they've been doing the cool (beep)
with the 3D-printed multi piece wheels,
you've hopped on Forza
and it's the first three or four (beep) pages of wheels.
Now usually, when people hear the name HRE,
the first thing that probably comes to mind is, of course,
their multi piece forged wheels,
which are absolutely gorgeous.
And they've proven themselves time and time again.
They're the ones that you see
all over the place on Instagram,
they're the ones that are on the 458 or the Huracan
that you can't get outta your head.
But I really want you to take a look
at these guys right here.
They are a high performance wheel.
They are made with precision, they are made with quality
to ensure that those who are purchasing those wheels
get in every bit of performance out of their wheels.
And all you were thinking is,
"Man, I just want some HRE wheels."
Well, in comes the FF04.
Now the FF04 is one of three FlowForm options
offered by HRE as of right now.
Now if you're unfamiliar
with the FlowForm manufacturing process,
basically what they do, is they take a cast wheel,
what starts off as a cast face
with a little bit of material left over,
and they throw it on a steel mandrel,
apply a bunch of heat and pressure through some rollers,
and they draw out the final shape
of the barrel of the wheel.
So now what that does,
is it aligns the grain structure of the metal,
because when you compare casting to forging,
when you cast a wheel versus forging a wheel,
you melt down the metal alloy and pour it into a mold.
And when that metal is mounted down, it loses any form
of grain structure that it initially had,
which usually helps keeps the strength and integrity
of what you're looking at making.
So by taking the cast face and drawing it out
with the FlowForming process, you are, in turn,
actually forging the barrel of the wheel.
So you're getting that grain structure back,
you're getting the strength and integrity
that you would get out of a forged wheel,
and, as well as that lightweight and strong performance.
A cheaper alternative to straight forging of a wheel.
So let's go ahead and take just a little closer look
at the FF04 here.
Now, this is a gorgeous wheel.
It's a very simple, it's a very clean design
that everybody loves.
It's that simple, split five spoke
that we see come up time and time again,
especially with other wheel manufacturers,
but this one itself is very clean.
It's very subtle.
All around, just an absolutely gorgeous looking wheel.
So you can see that the edge kind of bevels back around
and connects it at the end.
Not crazy in your face,
but it is there when you do start to look at it.
It's a little bit of a unique design there as well.
And of course, to go along with that,
to complement the design of the wheel,
the finishes on these things
are absolutely impeccable as well.
Now the finish here we have is, of course,
that hyper black color.
Now this is one that comes standard with the FF04.
You can also choose standard options
between the liquid metal and tarmac,
which is more of a satin black.
But another thing to know with HRE wheels
is that you can get a variety of custom colors
applied to these wheels.
You can really choose from anything from red to gold
to black to blue to bronze to whatever you want.
Just note that you're probably gonna have to pay
a little more for those custom colors.
As far as sizes go for the FF04,
you're gonna be looking at diameters of 17 to 20 inches
and widths ranging from eight and a half,
all the way to 11 inches.
So the 20 by 11 being the largest size
that these are offered in.
That's pretty decent, and this is because of that
FlowForming process that allows for those larger sizes.
And the offsets that are offered with those sizes
ensure the wheels will fit anything
from a Euro, to JDM, to even domestic cars as well.
And with the design of these, they'll really suit anything
that you'll throw 'em on.
It's a very universal design,
it'll fit a lotta different makes and models.
As far as price goes for the FF04,
you're going to be looking at
more of a higher-end price point,
right around $2,500 to get into a set of FF04s,
depending on the size that you're going with.
So if that's something that you're interested in,
if you're looking at picking up a set of these HRE wheels,
or looking at finding out just a little bit more
to see what other offsets and stuff like that
that they're offered in,
head on over fitmentindustries.com,
where you can check these out,
along with the other FlowForm wheels
that they offer as well.
