Many have been asking for completed photos of the new Alpha Forged wheel, well the first photos are finally available!

Centers have brushed faces and polished windows, with a matte dark tinted (DDT) powdercoat over it!
Also shown is the Titanium hardware which is a standard feature!





Some asked for photos of the back of the wheel, so here it is:

You can see the pocketing on the back to shave off as much weight as possible
This center weighs only about 7.8 pounds!

Some additional info on the Titanium Hardware that comes standard with Alpha Forged:

Weight of the normal steel bolt and nut: 0.8 OZ


Weight for the Titanium bolt and nut: 0.4 OZ


Thats half the weight!

Multiply that by 40 bolts = 16 oz
Thats a savings of 1 lb per wheel, not the biggest difference, but all the weight savings is around the edge which is more beneficial than weight saved towards the center.

We are still looking for partial sponsorship cars to run these, so contact me sponsorship information!
