Hey,

Are all Work Wheels forged? I'm looking to pick up a set of 19's for my daily driver (usually driving on the freeway to and from work) and want to make sure I get a forged wheel so they don't bend. Thanks!

no

GreeneggsandHam

which wheel in particular are you looking @?

Acuracy02

It's between the Euroline FS and the Termist TS1 (multi-piece).

they'll still bend regardless. my bro has 20" 2-pc meisters on his g35 and he slightly flattened the lip on two wheels. it's more about driving style and being extremely careful. my opinion...i feel monoblocks are probably less prone.

i would venture a guess and say the FS are but the Termist i'm not sure... i know my LS are forged

Acuracy02

Rev, do you have an input on the two wheels I listed? I know you are quite knowledgeable in regards to Work wheels...

REV-01

the only wheel that is forged in the current work line up is
work rezax universal forged model
work equip
work rezax 2
work meister s1 both 2 piece and 3 piece
work meister s2r (semi forged)

both ts1 reloaded and fs is 2 piece cast

work euroline ls is not forged

Acuracy02

That's good to know. Is it risky running a 19" cast Work wheel if I drive a lot or are they still durable?

THEY ARE NOT FORGED - CAST 3-PIECE

forged or not if you are not careful with big pot hole they will bend...depends on manufacture. work wheel is pretty strong.

Mr Hyde

Everyone loves to talk about how strong forged wheels are, and they are strong, and light, but if its a multipiece wheel, its the inner spoked portion that is forged, not the outer barrel.

A higher quality wheel tends to have a stronger barrel than a cheaper rim, and forged wheels tend to be higher quality, but as far as bending the barrel is concerned, thats the weakest part, and it isn\'t forged.

Acuracy02

So when you bend the barrel is the wheel still going to drive fine or do you develop a hop or wobble?
