Wheels look great! :thumbsup:

Can you give any details regarding the "Flow Forged Technology"?

Thanks for the feedback :thumbsup:

Flow Forming is a hybrid process which begins with a low pressure cast aluminum and uses a special machine that spins the initial casting, heats the outer portion of the casting and then uses steel rollers pressed against the rim area to pull the rim to its final width and shape. The stretching and forming process creates a thin and dense metal which has properties similar to forged aluminum. The combination of the heat, pressure and spinning create a rim area with the strength similar to a forged wheel.

So that it may be easier to visualize, here's a video I took from another source that shows the process

Wow! Freaking love these. :drool: PM price for 18x8.5 ET45?

Also, any chance we can use the VW center caps from the Detroits on these? If not, any other options?
