I'm kind of confused by HRE's branding here. HRE seems to use the term FlowForm as a brand, but flow form casting is just a manufacturing technique. Is HRE trademarking "flow form"? If so that would seem to be needlessly confusing. Just about every mfg I could find has flow formed wheels in their lineups (Forgestar, Ray's, WedsSport, etc).

What sizes do you have that are concave (Medium Offset) that would fit the FRS/BRZ? Can you provide weights for a few of the given sizes? What is the lead time to get the wheels? Are 18" planned?

For the FF15 which has more available sizes to pick from, we can do a 18x9 ET40 which has a conical face, and then in 19" we're also looking at 19x9 ET40 with a conical face. The FF01 style only comes in a flat face, no conical option there, so if you want something that gives a little extra dimension, go with the FF15.

18x9 ET40 weighs 20lbs per wheel
19x9 ET40 weighs 21lbs per wheel

Wheel sets are in stock so if you want me to point you in the right direction for the proper dealer to contact, send me a PM and we can have them ship out 24 hours later from our location, or your dealer might have them in stock ready to ship too!

18x9+40 would be absolutely perfect but I'm only interested in the FF01. I saw there is a 19x9.5+43 in a more concave face (picture below). Is there any narrower widths than that with the same face?

The only fitment available for the FRS/BRZ is 19x8.5 ET30 with regards to the FF01 wheel. Anything other than that particular fitment, because it's not intended for that particular platform, I cannot recommend. If you want to try a different fitment, by all means no one will stop you but I would get information as to how that set was modified in order to work. Just know that we do not recommend it, and any permanent modification will lead to a voided warranty and a set that of course wont be eligible to be returned for a refund for any reason.

Hi Jurrian,

Coilover suspension increases clearance to the strut compared to stock, which is why the 19x9.5+43 would fit. It will not fit on stock suspension which is probably why your company doesn't recommend it.

Can you provide a list of the 5x100 sizes available, and whether they are concave or not and then we can make our own decisions for fitment?

Thanks

I am very familiar with this particular chassis and as a company we've done the measurements on this car to understand which fitment we wanted to produce for the FlowForm series, but the fact is that we don't manufacture a 19x9.5 ET43, nor do we manufacturer any other size, other than the ones I have listed, in a 5x100.

This is also the reason why I commented that if you wanted to try a fitment that is not 5x100 that requires modification to the wheel itself to work, we wont stop you, but our dealers who will be selling the wheels directly to our customer base will tell you that modifying a set of wheels to fit your vehicle in a fitment based for another type of car all together is not recommended by us, and most dealers will inform you that once modified the wheels will not be allowed to be returned for a refund under any circumstance and it will also void the structural or finish warranties (if lets say drilling is involved where you can sometimes see powdercoat chipping).

That's disappointing, PM me if you start offering more 5x100 sizes - 18x9+40 or 19x9+40 in concave would be a great fitment for the FRS/BRZ, it will fit wit stock suspension, and is not overly aggressive. For the price you're asking if they are not lightweight they at least need to be concave for me.

All the photos that I have are generally going to be with lowered cars, but I can tell you that I have no reported issues with that fitment on stock suspension.
