What are HRE Flow Form Wheels?

http://www.modbargains.com/images/Pr...orm-wheels.jpg

HRE Performance Wheels' all new line of FlowForm wheels are manufactured utilizing a unique casting and forming process that creates a wheel with strength properties similar to those of a forged wheel.

The process begins with pouring molten aluminum into a mold face-side-down, where it is then rapidly cooled. By quickly cooling the metal down right after heating it up (sometimes referred to as quenching), the aluminum alloy becomes more dense, and thereby enhancing the elastic strength and durability of the wheel.

After the wheel face is formed (Fig A), it is pulled from the mold and placed into the flow-forming machine, (Fig B) which operates in a manner similar to a potters' wheel. This process stretches the barrel downward, causing the metal to "flow" into the correct "form", hence the name, and this process ultimately gives the wheel its final shape (Fig C).

This "stretching" process changes the internal grain structure of the aluminum (much like the direction of the grain makes a difference in wood), making it stronger, lighter and more precise than a non-flow-formed barrel, resulting in forged aluminum-like strength.

What could have been a long drawn out, he said he said issue, was promptly corrected. Along with the folks at HRE and their Flow Formed series, I was able to enjoy myself at recent track events sporting some brand new shoes. I know it's hard to see how sweet the Camaro looks with the Ariel Atom parked next to it, it is an attention grabber but the Camaro held its own. Great customer service goes a long way when it comes to word of mouth and I will defiantly recommend modbargains.com to my friends who regularly attend track events and are in constant need of car parts, like my long time friend Roy of Narvaez Racing who is the owner of the Atom pictured and the owner of a 1000hp GTR (the car part destroyer). Who, BTW maybe interested in some HRE wheels of his own! I may post the specifics of the issue we had, just for reference, but this review is to compliment modbargains.com and HRE for their excellent service.:happy0180: http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/k...s/IMG_2604.jpg http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/k...s/IMG_2605.jpg http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/k...s/IMG_6505.jpg http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/k.../IMG_26192.jpg
