Rogue Engineering GTR Wheel
Inspired by retro motorsport designs, Rogue Engineering wanted to produce a wheel for today's marketplace that needed quality, performance wheels at reasonable prices. Knowing full well that a fully forged wheel was out of the budget of most, we worked with a manufacturer that would be able to help us produce a wheel with performance using flow formed manufacturing techniques.
The GTR wheel uses a technique called flow forming to manufacture the barrel of the wheel. By applying high pressure to the inside of the barrel, it forms the aluminum into its final shape. This forms the aluminum grain to a much stronger alignment and tighter grain structure. This "squeezing" process makes a thinner, stronger wall than a fully cast wheel but also a stronger wheel as well.
- 18x8.5 weight, 20 lbs.
- 18x9.5 weight, 20.25 lbs.
- 18x10 weight, 20.9 lbs.
- Flow formed construction means strength without excessive weight
- Spokes extend to outside of rim to reinforce strength against bending (potholes, racetrack curbing, etc.)
- Engineered for brake caliper clearance for BBKs (at least 355mm rotors) without the use of spacers (1.75" of clearance on Stoptech ST40s, 355mm rotor) with 18x9.5 ET35 GTR rim)
- Knurled bead on the inside of the barrel minimizes tire slippage on track cars and cars with high horsepower.
- FEA/FEM optimized for strength and stiffness without sacrificing weight
- Bolt hole bore large enough to accept 19mm socket, for those using wheel locks.
- Engineered and tested to meet and exceed DOT/SAE, JWL/VIA standards (JWL certificate testing being done)
- Chamfered rear hub face is compatible with Rogue Engineering 10mm and 12mm spacers
- Centercaps included. Production rims will allow factory BMW centercaps (36-13-6-783-536) to fit.
- Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) compatible (sensors not included)
- Available in Motorsport Silver, Gunmetal, Satin Black, and raw finish (for those who want to have their own color done by their own resources)
- Wheel fitment on your vehicle is the responsibility of the customer. Contact us if you have questions. Returns are limited only to quality issues.
