'Flow Formed' wheels are also aluminum. They're just an updated method of construction that allows for less material in select areas. The ones I've seen are larger than 17" diameter usually so not sure if there are smaller diameter versions as well.

Thanks for the reminder, Scoti. I've seen FF Halibrand 20x8.5s from Holley for under $150!https://www.holley.com/products/whee...arts/HB007-007

I chose these cause I haven't found what I really want in the fitment I need and they have a Vision warehouse next to the tire shop close by in Decatur, AL and they allowed me to test fit them.

Another thing that I just learned about. Hub centric vs lug centric. From Vision's website... Factory wheels have a center bore that is designed for each specific car, which places the stress of centering the wheel on the mounting hub of the car. After-market wheels are designed to fit a variety of vehicles. If mounted without a hub centric ring, these wheels will be centered primarily by the lug nuts, which can cause vibrations. It is advisable that you use a hub centric ring."
Haven't seen anywhere they sell these rings. [note: meant Vision doesn't show them in their catalog... I see them out there in plastic or aluminum.]

The Halibrands are hub centric.
