[@B17714]

Suuupeer cool video. Really helps answers the, “why do these wheels cost so much” question.

[@ismawel81]

Desde que vi el modelo p201 en un VW golf 7 me enamore, tengo un VW passat variant b7 y soñé tenerlas en mi coche, al buscar y buscar encontré una tienda online para comprarlas, y al ver el precio inmediatamente me di cuenta de que era un sueño inalcanzable, admiro mucho la calidad y el buen gusto de vuestros productos, un fuerte saludo desde España, gracias!

[@jeepowner6660]

Am use this alloys for my jeep 🔥❤️

[@The1Karking]

Awesome

[@Bicepautomotive]

WOW!!!!!!!

[@getheryan3846]

Wheel looks awesome . but i think u guys need more offset option

[@lapchoine6600]

gether yan couldn’t agree more. What’s the point of selling such beautiful wheels when the specs are so limited and so conservative numbers 🤷🏼. I was so excited in going to buy a set until I heard the specs available was so limited and wasn’t the spec I was looking for. Now I have plans in buying something else now.

[@martinblazko5236]

How much time does it take to squeeze the rim to its final width? What’s the width of the rim in the video?

[@lapchoine6600]

Love the FF10 but too bad the available specs in 5x112 is so limited and too conservative. Will you be coming out with more available specs in 20x9.5, 10, 10.5, and 11? Reason why we buy wheels so it can be more aggressive specs than OEMs with better stance than OEMs.

[@destrymaggard2623]

Wheel making is a very interesting process although there are various ways to make them. I am familiar with both dual gate and single gate low pressure processes and kind of liked the work when I was making wheels for Honda at a local wheel plant that was in my town oh about 20 or so years ago. With that said, unfortunately the company did not maintain the equipment in order to run good quality wheels as one sees in this video where there is minimal excess flashing on the wheels and not excess appears to be left behind in the die. That’s huge for wheel making. Also, no shrinkage or impurities can be seen in the X-ray of the wheels.

[@MangKolokoy333]

9:38 what is the finish on this time stamp? Really loving the hre flowform!

[@bakonamohb3187]

As an automotive designer I always wanted to work as a wheel designer, is there a chance getting a job as a designer withing your team or even an internship to learn more about the process ? I'll be so thankful

[@rendition8528]

ayy, I can tell these rims are proudly made in Taiwan

[@Ray-no9sj]

im guessing in the BC Forged factories

[@aeksax]

Pretty sure this is in Thailand. I saw Thai language at 4:52

[@Ray-no9sj]

@@aeksax ya but it's Taiwan.

[@aeksax]

@@Ray-no9sj Maybe they have Thai workers there?

[@Ray-no9sj]

@@aeksax ya. Taiwan also lots of Japanese history due to when they were invaded by Japan.

[@xtype2006]

Are the stone finishes still available?

[@FlowFormWheels]

Stone finishes are no longer available on FlowForm Wheels, only our HRE Wheels.

[@user-vg8du1bi1j]

😍

[@JuanFernandez-nm6ug]

love this wheels !! anyone knows how many time it takes to finish them ? iam just curious

[@sebastiantu6212]

watching HRE bang up my 3k set of wheels before i get them, nice

[@calebperryman9558]

They don’t bang up the wheels they send you lol, they will pull parts out of a production batch for quality control testing. The same way a car has to undergo crash testing and torture testing.

[@gotberg19]

IQ: 3

[@roddydykes7053]

Don’t forget all those crash tests they do on your car with the dummies inside before you buy it

[@fuser4397]

So is flow formed a type of forging that wheels get or did you knock off the name from Konig wheels? Or did they knock you guys off? Or do you both share the same forging style?

[@FlowFormWheels]

Forgings are not used in the cast flow forming process. Flow Forming (or Flow Formed) is part of the manufacturing process to create our FlowForm line of wheels after the wheel has been cast. We own the trademark of the term FlowForm® so other companies cannot use this term, but should only be using the two terms of the process, ‘Flow Forming” or “Flow Formed”.

[@RZ1402]

So is part of the reason they’re so much cheaper because y’all manufacture them in Thailand, and not the US?

[@mothaybabonnam5632]

where did you get the idea theyre in Thailand?

[@SAM46323]

Taiwan, not Thailand ,

[@xXloeffelsk8Xx]

on the homepage it is stated, that the 18 19 and 20's are manufactured in japan and the 21's in taiwan. I willg o for a 19 inch because i think japanese production must be very good

[@ChannelRace]

Does someone know the factories that are producing these rims in Taiwan or Japan?

[@zopEnglandzip]

Cheap because they're cast not forged

[@challengerking4358]

Pause, and go to 10:45

[@varsity2845]

FF10 🤤

[@allenissachar8444]

Can anyone buy rims directly from you

[@user-eq7og7cy2l]

셍산은 어느나라에서 하나여???

[@luiscisnerosrestorationren3617]

Need new set of wheels for my old pickup truck international 1950 model L130

[@upkarbath]

I thought they manufacturered in US 🇺🇸

[@Liquid_Cooled]

Nearly all flow formed wheels are made in China now with questionable metal purity, non-conformance to manufacturing and quality standards. Wise companies will require yearly audits to make sure they are indeed delivering a quality product. When you have a nation built upon being the lowest bidder, the people are engrained to and have actually have pride in cheating whenever possible. I urge all companies to plan their exit strategy now for China and explore other labor markets such as Taiwan, Malaysia, Mexico and the Philipines.

[@thebestgts]

HRE FFs are made in Taiwan and Japan

[@1Himiko7Toga]

Nope Volk Rays for life :D

[@martinneps9387]

Has anybody ever asked you to make a custom wheel?Please comment back thank you

[@7071t6]

wow tested design to what standards, american roads or international roads, after all each wheel will fit on so many different cars from 18" to 22" size wheels and it all comes down to the country and type of driving the car will do, like 4x4 for example or made to the standards of the roads in you country, they have standards for wheels on road cars, which has to be meet for all factory cars etc?

[@mothaybabonnam5632]

is "FlowForm" a trademark of yours, and are you affiliated with this product that uses a similar trademark? www.dekk24.no/?CMD=Product&PID=144254&CID=&Bil=3243&Diameter=19

[@jaconessjaconess7834]

that's why it's expensive

[@MLGCAMPERL97]

these warp

[@UTAH100]

So it's the weaker, Cast type manufacturing process. Still, likely slightly better then a pure cast wheel. Some nice new designs. On average, you can get a set of 4 for $1,000. Forged would be easily twice as much. Teh Vossens I like are $2,400 or $600. Buying online you have to be careful not to by fakes too.

[@WhyDidYTstartThisHandleShit]

the factory shown in this video is in taiwan. i GUESS this is ok, taiwan is fine, its china which is actually bad... BUT i think ill choose the ones made in japan, thanks.

[@SM-hj1fl]

2 Things I've learned about made in Taiwan 1) They are one of our biggest allies and a true democracy...they are worth supporting. 2 They make good stuff, the world would come to a stop without their microchips and a ton of other things you'd never guess. This is not made in China, 2 different worlds.

[@Tomhu0918]

this was Taiwanese factory

[@ChannelRace]

Do you know which one?
