@HRE thanks for your response. I understand the demand issue. My intent is to use these as track wheels so 19's are lighter, shorter with lower gearing, all plusses in my mind. Are any of the 19" FF04's able to work with spacers?

This one looks particularly good in that it has a nice level of concavity at the rear despite being made for the narrow body 911, something the factory didn't achieve.

I'm also curious about whether a set could be had without the "HRE" and "FLOWFORM" branding on the face of the wheel (maybe move it to the inside or make more subtle?) and with the ability to accept a factory center cap? On the one hand, I know that's your branding. On the other hand, some really like the stealth/factory look. I'm among them, and I suspect many others are as well.

Also, would the factory silver finish or even satin aluminum from the 991 GT3 RS be possible?

Thanks!!

Since it seems like wheel weight is your main priority it would be worth looking at their custom forged R101 Lightweight. We weighed their 20" 991 Narrow Body fitment at 16.5 & 19.4 lbs respectively - imagine what 19's would come in at. This is HRE's FlowForm thread so feel free to contact me directly with more info about these - David@WheelsBoutique.com

You can use spacers on the FF04's however HRE did not make 19" fitments with this wheel model for any Porsche model.

The "HRE" and "FlowForm" branding cannot be removed as these wheels are manufactured with those styling cues from factory. The Porsche center cap is far too large to fit in the center of the FlowForms. You would have to look for an aftermarket center cap with the same sizing as that of the HRE center cap. On their custom forged wheels you have the options to choose a billet cap where they would leave blank so that you can take the cap to a third party and have whatever you'd like engraved on it.

HRE does offer satin silver finishes for all of their wheels which looks very close to the GT3 RS wheels.

Using 19" wheels will lower the car 1/2", this lowers the CG of the car which will allow the car to transition better, lowers the overall gearing to make it more similar to a GT3, and weights less which all three have benefits on track. I might even consider 18" but I'm not sure I want to change the gearing or lower the car that much.

Only 5-lug applications are available. Centerlock vehicles will require our Forged wheels.

Indeed the 19"s will be lighter! May I suggest looking into the RC100, RC103, and R101 as those three options will be the lightest examples of our Forged wheels that we can do in 19" for your 991.

Hey Pete! Glad you like the wheel style! The FlowForm logo on the face of the wheel is casted into the wheel itself so removing it wouldn't be something we would like to do. Sure, you could shave down the wheel and remove that FlowForm logo, but we wouldn't do this for you. The FF04's do not share the same center cap size as what Porsche uses from factory, but if you would like to remove the Porsche logo and somehow apply that to our FlowForm wheels, we certainly wouldn't stop you.

You should retain the same rolling diameter as what Porsche intended from factory, so technically the car shouldn't be lowered any amount if you're using the proper tire sizes. In some instances sure, you can't get the exact rolling diameter from factory, so try to remain within 1% of the factory rolling diameter. We work with all our customers on tire sizes to ensure that what you're going for is proper and correct for the car.

What an excellent choice. Do you have a 991 narrow or wide body?
