Are these as strong/durable as the three piece forged wheels or monoblock design? Someone said that flow-formed wheels weren't "true" forged wheels. I'm clueless so any explanation on the differences would help.

A flow formed wheel is somewhat of a hybrid in that it begines life as a casting and then is flow formed to the final width and finished more like a fully machined wheel. A fully forged monoblock wheel starts life as a forged billet blank and is machined for the final look. A monoblock wheel typically has a starting point in the 4000 dollar range and can go up. Our flow formed wheels are roughly 1/3 the cost and have undergone destruction testing and have passed all ratings testing to ensure an EXTREMELY strong, yet lightweight, wheel. This video is a good intro to the flow form process. |

Nice wheels - the very popular Forgestar F14s are also flow formed I believe.
These wheels look very similar to the Forgestar F14s and TSW Nurburgrings and several others. This seems to be a popular design. How much? $$$ And what sizes do the come in? |

Gotcha, so this are basically cast face wheels with forged barrel/hoops. Cool. I was wondering why forgestars and these wheels could be so inexpensive and lightweight/strong.
Nice design and incredible weight.

Beautiful wheels. Now we need them in 20x9 and 20x11 sizes with the correct offsets to run 275/40 front and 315/35 rear tires and I as well as many others will be breaking down your door. Make mine Hyper Black, I've seen it in person on VMR wheels and it is drop dead gorgeous.
