First off:
Rotary Forging
The Forgestar lineup utilizes a combination of the best methods of forging and casting methods both in the same wheel. This is called rotary forging, and is used by companies such as BBS and Enkei. These wheels are custom made to order and can be made to fit your BMW with a large range of available sizes, offsets and finishes.
Rotary Forging 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.
Forgestar Performance Wheels proprietary Rotary Forged Flow Forming technology allows the customers to choose between a range of offsets for every wheel width that is offered. The end consumer is able to choose a wheel that will perfectly fit their own individual vehicle. All Forgestar Performance Wheels are compatible with tire pressure sensor monitors and allow clearance for most high performance brake caliper upgrades. Take a look at this video to see how Forgestar wheels are made and finished!
