NEW | BC10 Concave Hyper Silver Machined

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. The combination gives the wheel a visual pop and showcases the engineered detail in an aesthetically clean manner. For more info please visit www.bavariawheels.com

"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.

The New Scion FR-S | Bavaria BC5 Concave

We attend a lot of car meets and events and noticed lately that the current Belle of the Ball is the Scion FR-S / Subaru BRZ. We've had the great pleasure to sit down and chat with our buddy Thomas with his 2013 Scion FR-S named Chimera (A Greek Mythical Creature). Thomas first purchased the car back in July 2012, and his passion for tuning has created a project that is constantly evolving.

We wanted to know why he picked the FR-S chassis as the base for his tuning project. His reply was "I picked the FR-S due to the fact that it was one of the best platforms to come together from 2 different car builders. Plus it's such a great car to drive."

This FR-S has a projected goal to be successful in 3 areas: Appearance, Performance, and Sound. The car isn't close to completion yet, but Thomas has already created a buzz for himself at events and features! Keeping it simple, yet clean, is what some guys want to achieve when modifying cars.

The FR-S is equipped with 20x10 Bavaria BC-5 Concave Wheels wrapped in Toyo Proxes 1 tires. Lowering the car with Eibach springs not only gave it a better stance, but also increased handling performance without sacrificing comfort. Thomas added some flare by getting parts of the car wrapped by Wrapito, along with a Carbon Fiber Hood and Carbon Deck Lid from Seibon. The Boxer rumble is now even more noticeable with a Borla Exhaust System. Thomas' project goal of tuning Appearance, Performance, and Sound is well on its way.

More power and more enhancements to audio is what's in store for this FR-S along with, well... we'd hate to spoil the surprise After looking over some renderings of what is in store for Project Chimera, we know the next time we feature this car,it will be very aggressive and very different from the rest of the pack.

Be sure to keep an eye out for this FR-S at your local events and online features!

Thomas would like to thank and give shout outs to the following:

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.
