Wheel suggestions please
I plan to acquire a 2nd set of wheels for my 2SS. It now has the stock satin black solid spoke wheels which look great with the white body. But I wish to take it up a level. I am looking for suggestions without any caveats on color, style, or size except I do not want a delicate wheel that cracks if you run over a twig.

Our most popular wheel for the 6th Gen Camaro has been our FlowForm FF04 wheel which you see below show in Liquid Black (Our Gloss Black Powdercoat):
Here's another in Tarmac, which is our Satin Black finish: We have many more wheel styles than this of course, including a large selection of wheels from our Forged collection which would include wheels that are even lighter, and even stronger! |

Your wheels are sweet. I do have a concern on the strength of the wheel as I witnessed a friend repeatedly replacing aftermarket wheels. They were not expensive wheels but how do I know how strong a wheel is, say, compared to OEM?

Secondly, all of our wheels, FlowForm and Forged, are offered with a lifetime structural warranty against any kind of defects so you can be rest assured the wheels you have are perfect. Because these FlowForm wheels are stronger and lighter than everyone else, does that mean you can say screw it, I'll hit every pothole because they'll hold up? No, it doesn't mean that, I would still avoid potholes, avoid construction areas and just generally areas that could put your car or wheels in danger of being scratched or dinged. OEM manufacturers care about overall durability or life of the wheel, as opposed to performance/weight savings so GM and other manufacturers will likely over-build a wheel, put lots of mass on it so that it can hold up to lots of potholes over a period of time. Of course all this extra mass is great for durability, but sucks for performance, so what HRE does is blend the two, giving you a much better performing wheel and with similar strengths to a Forged wheel. This is exactly why our FlowForm wheels pass the same TUV Certification testing that our Forged wheels do. You could also make the argument about TUV approval and how HRE is a TUV certified manufacturing facility. With that all said, we make some really awesome extremely high performance wheels, and we have been for the last 40 years which is why is we're held in a high regard. |

Also whatever brand your friend has, I would avoid buying it lol. I think that went without saying, but obviously whichever brand your friend has isn't holding up

HRE wheels are top notch which is why you see them on super cars. They are very expensive, but you get what you pay for. |
