FAQs
What advantages does the VS-5 offer over a conventional cast wheel?
The flow forming process strengthens and stiffens the barrel while reducing weight, delivering performance characteristics much closer to a forged wheel than a traditional cast wheel.
Can I reuse factory hardware and TPMS sensors?
Yes. The VS-5 works with OEM and aftermarket TPMS sensors and is compatible with factory wheel hardware, wheel locks, and most wheel spacer combinations.
