This saving of roughly 6-10 pounds per wheel makes a BIG difference in regards to handling and drivability. The 18x8.5 F14 wheel weighs an amazingly light 18.5 lbs, where a cast wheel of this same size would weigh anywhere from 23-27 lbs.
Forgestar F14 Available Offsets and Sizes The JWL VIA certified load rating for all 18"" F14 sizes is 1520Lbs. The 18"" Forgestar F14 now has an increased load rating per wheel.
That translates to up to 15% less weight when compared to a standard cast wheel.
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.

During flow forming, the rim actually ""flows"" down to create the full rim width. The pressure and turning then force the rim area to form against the mandrel, creating the shape and width of the rim. These wheels are made to order and can be made to fit your FR-S / BRZ with a large range of available sizes, offests and finishes.įlow form casting is a production procedure that turns the wheel (or rim section) over a special mandrel and three hydraulic rollers using tremendous pressure. This is called flow form casting, and is used by companies such as BBS and Enkei. This new lineup utilizes a combination of the best methods of forging and casting methods both in the same wheel. ModBargains is proud to offer you the Forgestar Wheel Lineup with the latest technology in wheel production to bring you the best of both worlds.
