Auto Talent | New F14 AND F05 Forgestar Custom Lightweight Flow Formed Wheels
We very excited to release the worlds first custom flow formed wheel series manufactured by Forgestar. Over the course of the last few years the wheel market has exploded, however there is a pretty large divide from a pricing and performance aspect. Most of the cost effective wheels have 1 or 2 fitments and are heavier. Most of the forged custom wheels have infinite fitments, are lightweight and run the cost of a average mortgage payment!
FORGESTAR Wheels has been launched to bridge this gap while offering:
Quality 'Flow Form' Construction
Light Weight (approx 22.4lb for a 19x10 on Porsche")
Custom Fitment
Cost Effective Price Point.
Here is some info about the Flow Form Casting process, which is a hybrid of forging and casting, and is used by companies such as BBS and Enkei:
Flow Forming is a production procedure that turns the wheel (or rim section) over a special mandrel and three hydraulic rollers using tremendous pressure. The pressure and turning then force the rim area to form against the mandrel, creating the shape and width of the rim. During Flow Forming, the rim actually "flows" down to create the full rim width. During Flow Forming, pressure applied to the cast rim actually changes its mechanical properties, so its strength and impact values become similar to those of a forged rim. That translates to up to 15% less weight when compared to a standard cast wheel.
TPMS Compatible
Clears OEM and Aftermarket Large Calipers
PRICING:
MSRP - $1950.00/set
INTRODUCTORY SPECIAL PRE ORDER PRICE - $1499 SHIPPED A SET IN THE CONTINENTAL USA.
F05 comes in three finishes gloss black with polished lip, gunmetal with polish lip, and black and brushed two tone with polished lip to fit your Boxter or Cayman. These wheels are custom made to fit your Porsche perfectly.
