Flow formed wheels are a fantastic manufacturing technology for excellent strength to weight characteristics and great pricing. I run LTW5s, and absolutely love them and all of the abuse they can handle.


...however, as I stated above, you don't go and "just make a set and go from there."

Yeah, i understand, but the thing is, these monoblocks are not flow formed, they are FORGED MONOBLOCK wheels, just like the ones HRE makes !!

Yeah, and that company is really the pinnacle of quality when it comes to wheels.

You are just digging yourself a hole now. By all means, continue.

I for one am on the swing with these wheels. I want a forged CSL style wheel, 19x9 and 19x10 that will give me BBK clearance. I want them strong and lighter than my stock OEM 19's. I would like to see the real deal before I lay down money. The discount the Iconz is giving is pretty good but without a finished product it's hard to commit!

+1, I need to see the actual product and some stats before laying down serious $$$. I'm a huge fan of how this wheel "could" look and perform but need to see an actual forged set.
