I really like the look of those. Beautiful! Did you perhaps find out if a 19" would clear the Brembos?

I called the agent to find out for you :)
19" would fit the 6 pot brembo GT calipers with 380mm rotors
19" (highly likely) will not fit the S6 Stock 6 pot Brembos with 400mm rotors

Do consider HREs. They are beautiful and have better aesthetic offset.
Sadly HREs are poorly represented locally in Singapore.
Poor product knowledge and daylight robbery pricing.
But this rant is for another thread hahaha ...
Really?
3.9 kg per wheel reduction in rotational mass while keeping rim size and tyre weight constant ... hell yeah !
hahaha ...

i have, they are local to me, but i would consider the flow form series, don't feel like spending $8k on wheels.
i love volks, currently have ce28n's on my sti and te37sl's on my evo lol. at the price and quality it's almost a non brainer. but resale might be a little harder in the future.

Volkracing wheels are much stronger and better made than HRE's. I has TE37's on my 350Z awhile back, side swiped/hit a wall and the rims were still straight and true other than massive rash and cosmetic damage. I have HRE 590R's and had their monoblock P40s, the 590's bend so easily as the triangle made hoops are very soft. the p40's also bent from hitting a pothole. I abused the crap out the volks, hit railroad tracks, la potholes etc, and they always held up great never bent or cracked.

No Worries :)

Great to hear :)
The production quality is really top notch and so is the weight and feel.
Highly recommended

For 8k we can get the Volks and these !!! (and some spare change)

A buddy fitted the RS6 wavy rotors to the S6 calipers.
Saves unsprung weight (original S6 rotors are heavy shit!) and looks great !
Money well spent I reckon.

HRE claims their flow forged are outsourced and made in japan, I wouldn't be surprised if they were made by RAYS, Work or Enkei. something tells me enkei though, as HRE probably wants to maximize their profit and go to whoever is cheapest.

makes sense, i'll probably hold off and wait for the new design to be released, the g27 is the top of my list currently.

from HRE's website:
HRE FlowForm
Long a market leader in forged wheels, HRE now offers its FlowForm line of wheels featuring iconic styling and a level of quality embodied by the HRE brand, all at an accessible price point. This cast flow formed wheel is made in Japan with the highest level of design and engineering available in the world today.
•State of the art low pressure cast flow formed wheel
•Euro, Asian, & American fitments
•Standard color options are Liquid Silver and Tarmac;
with optional & custom powder coat colors available.
•Starting at 22lbs each
they claim japan, but who really knows forsure? along time ago there was a company Radenergie, which they claimed was made in Germany when It was actually made in japan. they had a dummy german, address and phone number. when actually Wheel power was bringing all the stuff from japan and through them in boxes that say made in Germany.
