New Tech1 Superalloy-World's Lightest and Strongest Forged Wheels
Forged Alloys USA is pleased to introduce the latest in lightweight forging technology: Tech1-Superalloy. The wheels are forged from a super strong aerospace alloy more than 50% stronger than 6061/T6. The result is super strong forged wheels that are the world's lightest.
Available in 19 and 20 inch sizes for Porsche and BMW (more coming soon),
the beautiful concave designs are nearly 1 Kg lighter than our own lightweight Tech1-200 series.
For example, a 19x8.5 front wheel for Porsche Wide body is 15 lbs and the matching 19x12 rear is 18 lbs. This means almost a 40 lb. reduction in unsprung weight compared to OE Porsche. The wheels are TUV compliant.
The proprietary alloy is a bit more expensive than 6061 and availability is limited. Delivery is 4-6 weeks.
If you are at the SEMA show, please come by our booth #42249 and hold one of these beauties in your hands.
Please PM me for pricing and where-to-buy.
P.S. Sorry for the amateur pics.

Nice...a litttle like the HRE P43 (which has 11 spokes vs 10 on this wheel)
I like these better than the H.R.E's and they are lighter which is a major plus. People will buy these instead if they are priced better. Tech1_mike what do these costs?
Is it ok to do a post indicating the pricing for 18, 19 & 20 inch sizes? These new wheels are very attractive if the weight and strength claims are for real. I cant find anything about them on the net anywhere.
You got rep points. Super hot and super light wheels and great price from Jo Borras over at Switzers. I went with the Tech1 109Mesh in texture black for my Turbo. I also wanted to say that your customer service is second to none and thank you very much for everything. Seriously a class act and a perfect product. I love the new flat center caps as well.

I just got back from SEMA 2009 and talked to your rep in the south hall. These wheels are truly remarkable!
So light, so awesome looking with the deep concave features in monoblock.
When are you guys going to do the 5x114.3 bolt for Lexus cars? I'm definitely game for a set for my IS-F....please keep me in mind when you guys decide to build for Japanese cars!
I may also pickup a custom 17" setup for my s2000 if this works out on the IS-F
