Presenting the ultra light, yet affordable one piece rotary forged Forgestar CF5 wheels. These wheels are made to order with custom offsets available, to fit your E60 5er perfectly without the need for spacers or fender adjustments.


They are made to clear BBKs standard and utilize a rotary forged inner barrel - the same technology used on Formula 1 and Indy race vehicles. Available in standard and deep concave profiles.




Rotary Forged / Flow Formed Cast - Technical Information
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 are these wheels forged or not, as the description vs the title seem to differ:

Rotary Forged = Flow Formed Cast

Just Semantics. They essentially are the same thing.
