Isn't Flow Forming Just Cast?! 

Thanks so much, Alex! 🙏🏻

He said thanks!! We appreciate you watching!

Thanks so much for watching and your support! I think we've seen your car on IG...if so the car looks great!

@@konigwheels thank you.

is the flow formed wheel more durable?

@@kooob81 100%. Not exactly forged but many times better than cast. Very close to forged at a fraction of the cost.

@@ricmrodrigues can u still use it for offroad?

@@kooob81 my car is not an off-road car. I meant the OEM 21 inch are not good for normal roads because of the very low profile tires. It's a recipe for disaster.

Sure Camm, what would you like to know. We've answered abunch of questions you raised above, hopefully that helps clarify any issues you had. However, depending on which wheel we are making and the process / run that we're intending we utilize both gravity or Low Pressure depending.

sure

I suppose thats one way of looking at it.

flow form wheels are pretty much forge rims with cast spokes wheels stronger and lighter then cast wheels but weaker and weight more then forge wheels.

@@patthonsirilim5739 maybe you need to rewatch the video. Flow form is NOT forged, not the barrel and not the spokes. None of it is forged. If you want to call it flow formed barrel forged because it involves heat and pressure then I guess. True forged is a wheel that was under extreme heat and under extreme pressure 8-10k pounds to create an extremely strong wheel. Flow form is not even close to the strength.

Fair to say, yes.

@@konigwheels cool! I'm split between the hypergram and fully forged for my 2013 accord EXL v6. I want light wheels, no racing, but I want quality. I'm working on handling mods.

Hey Camm, First I have to tell you, I'm not sure what's got you so triggered. You came here to provide your thoughts, we appreciate that, and appreciate the opportunity to converse, we're also fine with answering you. First, we're not the cheapest flow formed wheels, not that it matters, but we're not. Second, the difference between modern day gravity type casting and low pressure when used in the flow forming process is neglegable. This is based on TESTING, not theory. We utilize both processes depending on the type of run that is required. The advantage to this is really found in the cost savings at the factory level for larger mass production runs. And just so you know, tilt cast was an OLD term for the way gravity casting was done, it's not a third process. Finally you may want to do a bit more research on the relationship in technology and our parent company. Serioulsy Camm, we appreciate you coming to our channel to have a conversation, but I'm not sure why you're so angry. We've been doing this for over 40 years, we're transparent about everything we do, we support the community and have continued to try and help the growth of motorsports from the grassroots level for decades. Again, you have every right to your opinions, and we really do appreciate you taking the time to comment.

The spokes are casted. The flow forming happens in the barrel of the wheel. I hope that answers your question!

We answered your other point above. However, the reason there is focus on the barrel is because that is where flow forming occurs, regardless of manufacturer. Thats the process. Also when it comes down to truth, you should also understand how the wheel testing standards work. It's way more complicated than just exactly which casting technique is used, I'm sure you know what I mean between testing to exceed standards such as j2530, JWL, VIA, etc.
