We are pleased to introduce a new finish offering for our Bavaria BC10 Concave Series: Hyper Silver Machined. This features a bright machined finish on the spokes and barrel edge of the wheel, with hyper silver in the window areas.

"Did you know"

Forging is one of the OLDEST known manufacturing methods around. When it comes to wheels, a forged wheel originates as a solid piece of metal referred to as a "billet" or "pre-forged slug". The process of forging involves taking a pre-determined piece of solid raw aluminum "raw material" and placing it into a forging press. The press then redefines the actual "shape" of this solid piece of material by forcing it to fill the cavity of a set of dies under extreme high heat and intense pressure, (usually 8,500 tons as a minimum) which compresses the material to form the "pre forged slug" mentioned above. This process results in a raw forging that is significantly stronger than the material properties of raw the aluminum we started with, due to the addition of grain structure and density that was not inherent in the material in its native form.
Using this process, we can forge parts into a wide variety of different profiles. This begins the creation of an infinite number of wheel designs.
Ever seen an old Japanese Samurai movie where you see the blacksmith hammering on a piece of metal against an anvil, eventually producing the final form shaped as a sword or blade? Well, part of that process creates an end result that is similar to the forging process in that it enhances the material properties of the metal through compression (creating grain density) which in turn gives it greater strength. Grain density allows us to achieve greater strength (think load bearing capacity) and resiliency (think resistance to cornering fatigue) with less material, thus saving weight, which is a key element of why we make forged wheels instead of heavier cast wheels, that are simply not as strong when compared "pound for pound" to a forged wheel.

Nutek Forged Wheels | Series 755 Concave in the making...  (teaser)

Latest design | Series 714 Concave

 Introducing the Nutek Forged Wheel Series 714. Just like the rest of our wheels, the wheel is made out of Aerospace-grade 6061 forged aluminum. Engineered to guarantee a perfect high strength-to-weight ratio. With the 7 spoke design, the 714 is a perfect match for style and comfort for anyone who is inquiring wheels in 19"-22" design.




Ferrari 458 Italia Spyder | Series 775 Concave

Everyone here at Nutek Wheels is a car enthusiast. We love the sound of engines, the screams from exhausts, the whistle from the big turbos, the whine of a supercharger, the smell of race fuel.... Okay, Okay we'll stop there. We just simply love anything that deals with cars!

With that said, we've always been a fan of Ferrari and their sexy exotic cars such as the Enzo, F430 Scuderia, FXX, LaFerrari... too many to list! We got the chance to do a photoshoot with an amazing 2013 Ferrari 458 Italia Spyder which makes a killer 600+hp! The weight to power ratio on this car is just outright beastly and the quick shifts of the gearbox can make ANYONE smile along with the aggressiveness of the exterior mods done to the car.

Jeff's 458 Italia has a couple of exterior modifications done, such as the Novitec carbon fiber rear deck spoiler, and FACTORY MADE carbon side skirts which are the first made in the US for the Spyder. Of course before seeing the car when arriving to the photoshoot location, we can hear the sweet sound of the Ferrari's 4.5L V8 combined with a Tubi Style exhaust, which can be heard from a good distance away. Luckily for his neighbors, the valves in the Tubi Exhaust remains closed for Idle or light throttle driving to make the car drive very discretely, as to not attract unwanted attention.

The Italia is sporting our Nutek 775 Series. With the perfect fitment of 20x9 Fronts and 21x12 Rears wrapped with Pirelli 245/35/20 FR and 355/25/21 RR. 355's!!! Jeff was able to get custom Ferrari caps fitted to match his Big Yellow calipers. This car is tastefully modded, and also sits with the proper stance with the assist of Novitec Sport Springs.


Too many people rush and buy things that completely change the car's character for the worst. Jeff took the time and research and picked his parts wisely to not ruin the original sex appeal that the 458 Italia Offers. Sometimes less is more....

Welcome our newest member of the Concave Series...

Introducing Series 755, 775, and 785... each design was developed to enhance the overall appearance of any vehicle while offering an aggressive new look. Nutek’s entire concave series offers extreme flexibility with a wide range of applications and finishes available. Customers can order the standard “reverse rim” profile or the ever more popular “stepped rim profile” that is a throwback to a past generation of wheels giving your car the “retro-performance” look that has recently come back into vogue. Concave Series available in 19" 20" 21" and 22" from 8.5" to 13" in width with custom finishes and colors.

Nutek Forged Wheels | September Car of the month | Ferrari 458 Italia


Featured is a 2011, Ferrari 458 with our latest set of fully forged, 3 piece, 505 series wheels, 20x9.0 inch, front and 20x12.0 inch, rear.
These wheels were custom painted to color match both the body and the custom painted trim that included all the emblems, for a truly one-of-a-kind car. This set up is perfectly suited to accept the O.E. tires sizes and allows the owner to use wider tires if desired.

The all new Series 700 Concave design is here.

Nutek proudly introduces our new line up of concave wheel designs. The 700 Series line of wheels are offered with hidden assembly hardware for the clean look and with exposed hardware for a high performance look. All of our wheels with hidden assembly hardware also feature steel inserts, creating a wheel that is as strong as our wheels that have “though bolt” assembly hardware. This is something no other 3 piece wheel manufacturer does. It’s just one more reason to consider Nutek 3 piece forged wheels.

Shown are the Series 705,708, and 710. We're offering these design with assembly bolts for luxury looks or with all hidden hardware for performance feels. Sizes from 19", 20", and 22" with up to 13" in width depending on vehicle applications. Custom finishes and colors are available including our Signature Ceramic finish.
