What you need to know about the Flow-Forming Procedure
Forgestar's flowforming process is a unique solution to a common problem – how to make a wheel both light and strong. | |
This specialized process begins with a low pressure type of casting 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 combination of the heat, pressure and spinning create a rim area with the strength similar to a forged wheel. During Flow Forming, the 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. The resulting grain structure within the alloy of the wheel is linear, flowing in a single direction. So in a nutshell, the process makes the wheels:

Forgestar has long been an advocate for wheel durability testing. They strongly believe that any issue regarding consumer safety is an important one. They want every customer contemplating the purchase of Forgestar wheels to know that it has been carefully engineered by the Forgestar team and thoroughly tested by independent third-party testing laboratories. Actual test reports from independent third-party test laboratories, such as Standards Testing Labs (STL), have been provided by Forgestar. The most common test standards used are those published by SAE (J2530) and TUEV Rheinland (Germany). PDF files of these actual test reports are provided below as well as an explanation of how the tests are performed and what the results mean to you as a consumer. They send every width in each wheel design family with the offset configuration that presents the greatest testing challenge and subject it to the equivalent of a full product lifetime of stress in a third-party laboratory. In this way, it is ensured that the recommended wheel fitment is safe at maximum rated load. | |
