Have you guys considered making or commissioning a visualizer for your website for people looking at what wheels look good on their car? I think that'd be a great idea.
Would be amazing tbh
Why is this not pinned or liked that would be perfect reason why im sketch about buying some that the gallery doesn't
thats all opinion honestly. don't have someone else build it for you. its YOUR car.
A configurator would be great yeah.
@NoNonsensePC but a greatly appreciated one for people unsure about what wheels they want. A very basic option is pretty simple, but when you add details such as offset, camber, width, and maybe even tires, it would be intense.
I literally had someone tell me one time "I thought rotary forged was a Mazda thing?"
lol. That's funny
Rotary ... all forged internals
What are some companies that use a LESS EFFICIENT rotary forged method? (like you mentioned, only spinning 50% of the barrel or less)? Would like to know so can avoid those particular wheels...👀
Still no one knows? 🤷♂️ I am super curious about ESR ForgeTech (Rotary Forge) Wheels...
Would you recommend rotary forged wheels for heavier cars like the Lexus IS-F and BMW M5?
so what is the difference between flow formed wheels and rotary forged the process sounds identical or is it another name for the same thing?
Whats up man great question! We actually have made a video previously on this question check it out! 👍 bit.ly/2PsCNEY
@@FitmentIndustries please not point to video, how rare is flow formed to fail? I hear that they sometimes crack at spokes part
I want the Konig Hypergram. They offer the exact size and fitment I want, they offer a few more color options and great quality paint, they'd look good on my car and they're just as light (talking pennies worth of weight difference) as the Enkei RPF1's at HALF the cost.
But the lack of a lifetime structural warranty has me leaning toward the Motegi MR131. It's a buzzkill for me.
If I had my old Mazda3, I'd get ESR over VarrStoens anyday, solely for the structural warranty.
So the part of the wheel that needs to be the strongest is still basically a cast weak point.
NO! the part needing to be strongest is around the lugs and the outer rim edge. The only way to make the rim lip super light is to forge them. Just the air pressure on the lip of a wheel is usually more than the weight on the wheel at rest. With 35 psi over 50 square inches in an average 20x9 wheel, that is 875lbs over the surface of each wheel lip, or 1750lbs per wheel! The spokes take up a lot less pressure than youd think too even on bumps as its spread and has suspension, and air to dampen blows
This is flow casting ...no forging involved.
Any brand offering affordable forged wheels?
I bought some already been used wheels. American racing brand. They are all-fashioned so I couldn't find the particular model name. On the outer side they have longitudinal grooves, so does it mean that they were rotary forged or it's also might be the cast wheels?
Well what I learned through my own research is that a good cast wheel is comparable to a rotary forged wheel. If it weighs 30 lbs., or less and has the same load handling capacity as a similar rotary forged wheel, then the cast wheel is just as good and for less money.
May be comparable in strength, but lighter weight improves all performance. My is350 stock wheels were roughly 30lbs each. My enkei wheels are roughly 21lbs each and no doubt stronger. That's 9lbs per corner of unsprung weight. I've read each 1 pound of unsprung weight removed is equal to 3-4lbs of sprung weight. Acceleration is snappier, steering feel is much better and ride is much more compliant.
So is ESR'S rotary forge LEGIT? You didn't mention them
Yes the RF1 and RF2 are nice. We have both of them here and have other videos they have appeared in!
Yes, they are "legit". and legit being they use the flow form process that everyone, and when i say everyone that does flow forge, uses. Pressure Cast Face, Heat Forged barrel. 25% lighter and stronger than cast. I see people tracking and drifting on ESR RF1s and RF2s with zero issues and all they have to say is good thing about them.
So it's like pottery except with metal?
Correct its a craft homie like art. 😂
@@FitmentIndustries it is art
Do an episode "Truth about Drifz Wheels"
Can you review koya wheels. They're popping up in motorsport every where here in australia
How are aodhan rotary forged wheels
if price is equal between full Rotary Forged wheel and full carbon fiber wheel, what would you guy's pick for every day use in all weather season's for some period of time, say, next 10year's?
wheel's are smaller size 15''x 6J or 16''x6,5J.
And what brand's would you recomend for us viewers in europe(Croatia)?
ya but, does lowering unsprung weight by lowering wheel weight make the suspension rougher, if not changed out to adapt for the lower weight? BC if the OEM springs,etc. are kept, and the weight goes down by say 5lb/wheel, then the struts, etc. would be pushing higher pressure against the wheel, making for a rougher ride. ??
Can you guys make videos for us muscle car guys out here like top 5 or 10 wheels for one etc. Also can you do a history of dub wheels I think that would be cool with how big they were in the early 2000s.
Don't pay more for a "rotary forged" wheel. They cost the same a cast from China or Taiwan. About $80 FOB for a 20".
Gas mileage?
I've been seeing comments about Centerline wheels and Rocket Racing Wheels... Are they any good? Does either of those brands still make rims under 17"? You know rims like the ones that look good on old muscle cars.
Do megan racing suspension history.
Just bought some rotary forged TSWs, im so excited!
I'm looking to buy a set of tsw's.. let me know how they balance..
@@johns818 sure thing, it's my first real set of wheels that are forged
@@JDJD-mw9rr Yup.. same here. If I buy the TSW's it will be my first legit set as well.
@@johns818 movin on up! What kind of car and what set up? Mine is a 2005 audi a8 4.2lv8. Going with a 20x10 Tsw geneva in silver with a 275\35 tire. Should arrive in 2 weeks for spring!
@@JDJD-mw9rr 2007 bmw 550i.. the TSW wheels I want look like the BBS LM.. my current setup is fr 245/19/35 rr 275/19/30. even if the TSW are 3 lb lighter per wheel I'll be ecstatic.
is there a difference between rotary forged and flow formed?
Same thing. Each brand has their own fancy name for their technology in the way the wheel is made. Flow formed, spin formed, spin forged, flow forged etc.
Fitment Industries ok cool thanks
En-Kay man... no En-kee
Will a 18x9 +33 wheel fit on a 2015 Honda Civic si with 2” lowering springs? How flush will it sit with the fender if it fits
SoFI guys, do you see 215/45r16 tires going out of production soon?
20x9 on gs300 lexus how will it look basic or a lil aggressive
Also consider Braid. Their flowformed (FF) series wheels are very light, very strong, and very affordable right now because of how strong the US dollar is against the euro.
These are so strong in fact that they are used in stage rally in the UK/Europe as they can be ordered in just about any PCD/centerbore and offset.
Great video, keep up the great work.
Can you guys make a video on BC forged because I’ve been seeing them all over Instagram
It's def on our list! 😬
I wanna see this one!!👍🏻
I got me a pair of those Konig 18x10 wheels for my drag radials on my challenger. Great looking wheel.
Should you buy Alex from Fitment Industries?
Woooonderful, learned everything in just 7:37mn
I got advanti storm s1 15x7 10lb for 129ea came with lug nuts n centric ring
Been watching your vids forever and just went wheel shopping on your site for the first time. I have to say I'm impressed! Keep up the good work.
yes to go faster to work...saving 2s in traffic
How about Vossen HF series? Are they good?
Amazing as always! Do you guys ship to UAE? I have WRX 16 and looking for 18x9.5 wheels...and if you ship, is that applicable for all the wheels?
We sure can! Shoot us a message: shop@fitmentindustries.com and we can try to get you a accurate quote.
Is it better than flow form?
I'm currently torn between the Verde Form VFF02 and Rohana RFX11 gonna pull the trigger when i get paid this week, but so far my game plan is to flip a coin and go with it haha
Robear Toe hmu on Instagram I can sell you the Rohana's I'm a dealer
SUNBURN!! AAHHHH
So next week your going to talk about directional Wheels lol
Do y'all know how much the ESR RF1 weighs.? I've searched but all I can find is "Light weight"
28-32 pounds is what I found!
What wheel is behind his head
About what percentage will it cost than the standard wheel?
Jorge Zorros Xamaica you can find forged wheels for the same price depending on brand and size they’re not that much more expensive. Keep in mind this is brand subjective
Jorge Zorros Xamaica well my Konig Ampliforms are rotary forged and 700 about for a set of 4
i want some wheels like cray mako in a light bronze or even gun metal color any suggestions?
We have a ton of options in staggered fitment. Kind of personal preference for the "look" your going for. Have you tried scoping out our fitment gallery to see what other vette owners are running? Always a good place to start and see if anything pops out.
jnc wheels
What wheel is 2 from the right on the top row?
Are work emotion legit rotary forged wheels?
Whats up man the Work Emotion wheels are a 3 piece rotary forged wheel!
Even if it's a monoblock construction?
Top right wheel when you’re talking ... what wheel is that ?
3 piece forged custom built Concept one CF-003x. Check out the video we did on that wheel:bit.ly/2Lsc9JS
Should do one about forged wheels. Say the XXR 527F vs Rays TE37.
Lol. Those two wheels shouldn't be compared. The TE37 are three times the price of the 527F.
LOL those are NOT fully forged 1 piece wheels. both of those brand and wheels are Rotary Forged, Flow Form, Radial Forged or whatever the company calls it. You can almost 100% of the time say if its not made in USA its not fully forge 6061 T6 Aluminum.
@@ir4kk i thought 527F are fully forged and just cheap because of its brand but in same processed/contruction/material as any fully forged wheel?well volks will for sure expensive because of the brand name.well compare any fully forge volks to any fully forge of HRE.now u can see that u are just paying for the bran name but both are the same fully forged.
no doors
First one!
0:17 Thursday evening? But today is Wednesday my dude.
probably recorded last week
You got the perfect opportunity to say "It's wednesday my dudes."
and you didn't take it. :(
I was aiming for that! But I felt like it wouldn't make sense you know? Oof
Quoting memes doesn't need to make sense.
You can always say it's a surreal meme. ^^
Maybe he’s in Asia, its Thursday evening here now.

You speak way too fast, we miss half of what you're saying! Slow down and reduce your daily intake of Red Bull...
A little off topic, it is kinda creepy that you photo shop your face on a lot of you video thumbnails.
4 years later and i just bought my first set of rotary forged wheels, dope!
Heeell yeah! Always a good feeling with some new kicks. -Edgar
@@FitmentIndustries damn my dads name is Edgar 😭😭😭 but thanks bro I can’t wait supposed to get delivered Friday instead coming tomorrow! I got me a set from Vertini, you guys gotta start carrying those 🤓
Your grandparents chose well! 🤘 excited to see them on, when you do get them make sure to add your ride to the gallery with the new new's! Thanks for the support! -Edgar
German Spun Forged?
zito flow formed wheels good or bad ?
