Default New wheels! Pretty excited.

Hey guys,

So I have been tinkering with little mods (Rear sway bar, led lights, carbon fiber etc). Well I finally bit the bullet and got my first set of wheels.
Let me know what y'all think!
The wheels are:
HRE Flow Form 15s
19x9 +40 and 19x10 +50

What a great choice of size, color & design. I'm jealous.

Are the offsets custom?

Thanks so much guys. As far as the offsets.. I really wanted something conservative and to be honest it wasn't super easy to find a quality wheel in the rice range with the offsets I wanted. Then I stumbled on some pics of I8ABMR's car with the red HRE flow formed wheels and loved the design. I called them up and by chance they have a conservative option and a much more aggressive option (what he has) and they worked out amazing as far as fit. I'm lowered on swift springs and am running 245 35 19 in the front and 275 30 19 in the rear. The car does have the rear fenders rolled but I doubt it was necessary for this set up (previous owner did it)

BOOM !!!! You nailed it buddy. So happy you went with the tarmac. looks amazing. I honestly wish I had the ***** to have gone with the tarmac. I'm not joking when I say I literally leave my wheels dirty so they look a little darker. lol.


Great lengthy and technical video on the HRE FF15 wheels. They are the lightest of the flow form wheels and they have the thinnest spokes on the market. The added spokes makes the wheel stronger for track use. Its a great design from a company that is , like they said in the video, arguably one of the highest quality wheel manufacturers in the world. Quality wheels for a bad *** car . You made a great choice buddy !!!

HERE IS A TECHNICAL VIDEO ON THE HRE FF15 WHEEL

Cool wheel choice. HREs are known for quality built wheels. The sizing is really good to not need additional work fender or suspension wise. They really do look good on your USB.

His set up is ideal. Its a "plug and play" set up. No rubbing, no rolling, no shaving, just mount the tires and boom. I will admit that the aggressive 19x11 in the rear on my ISF may keep me from being able to fit the 295/30/19 Michelin PS Cup2. Its .3" wider at the same 295 width. I get them through discount tire so I can always return them if they dont fit. Might have to stick with the AD08R .

Thanks so much guys! I recommend these to anyone looking for a solid, high quality, highly customizable (color wise) wheel.
