Why Choose a 19” Flow Formed Wheel?

Flow forming technology strengthens the barrel while reducing weight—giving you the best of both worlds.

Key Benefits:

• Stronger than traditional cast wheels
• Lighter than comparable 19” wheels
• Improved handling and responsiveness
• Better durability for daily and performance use

APR uses advanced engineering and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to optimize strength while reducing unnecessary weight.

APR develops and manufactures hardware, software, calibration & knowledge-logging tools for engine and transmission controllers, together with intakes, exhaust systems, intercoolers, turbocharger systems, suspension, brake systems, wheels, and more.
