**Flow Form Design**
Forgestar Wheels will be releasing their Flow Form Design in 3 weeks. We will be taking pre-orders. The retail price is $1850, but for you guys the price will be $1399 shipped.
The sizes will be 19x9 24.5 lbs. and 19x10 23.5 lbs. We can fit the XI models as well.
-Quality 'Flow Form' Construction
-Light Weight (approx 24 lbs for a 19x10")
-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
