As a machinist and auto enthusiast myself, this video speaks volumes about HRE Wheels production process, and why the wheels cost what they cost. Aside from the CNC machining, which is basically a precision and time sensitive investment, these wheels are almost fully handmade and bespoke. Again, you get what you pay for! Not a boring video at all. Too bad it wasn't longer! LOL. Keep up the good work HRE...

Well, you might be a machinist, but your not a business owner if you think that. I just see profit, profit, profit everywhere in this video. These guys must be making huge amounts of money. Sad thing is that people think that working for companies is a good thing. Its like being a slave, making other people rich. (MSc mechanical engineer, own a machine shop and do custom wheels...)

@@revolveperformance what a stupid statement, after almost every USA wheel producer has to use China now to even stay in the black. You don’t think that most wheel producers would not prefer to use local employees instead of outsourcing? The problem is not about too much profit, competition always deals with that, the problem is what China is doing with almost every industry in the USA. Soon there will be zero jobs available, people will be dreaming of what you are calling “slave” work.

HRE make some of the nicest wheels. The process of removing material in a lathe is called turning not lathing. It drives me crazy when I hear people say I'm going to lathe something that sounds uneducated when talking with a machinist.

@xbgtfella 4 жыл бұрын

If hasnt been mentioned before, the correct term for the rotational machining of stock material is not lathing but turning. The lathe is the basic machine tool that is used to complete the turning process. I dont know any fitter turner, toolmaker or other professional machinist who would use "lathing" in their vocabulary. Other than that, top notch facility doin the business.

The FlowForm wheels are not built in house at HRE. They are built in Japan by a manufacturer who HRE vetted carefully to ensure that the quality of the wheels was up to par to their own strict standards. FlowForm wheels are more lightweight than traditional cast construction wheels & factory wheels.

@lapchoine6600 4 жыл бұрын

WheelsBoutique Since they have their own machines to build their own wheels wouldn’t it be better to build their own? Which Japan wheel company is building them? Could it be partnering with Work Wheels, Rays etc some of the high quality brands in Japan.

@WheelsBoutique 4 жыл бұрын

@@lapchoine6600 FlowForm wheels would require a totally different type of setup in regards to machinery & the machinist that operate them. HRE wants to stay focused on doing what they know & what they do best & that's custom forged wheels. Allowing another company that specialized in FlowForm technology made the most sense for them. I don't believe they have ever mentioned who they partnered with - that would be a question for them.
