When it comes to modifying performance vehicles, every little detail counts. One of the most important things to consider, especially if you’re a track junkie, is the weight of your wheels. That’s exactly why Curva Concepts went into extreme detail when designing and manufacturing our Flow Forged wheel series. We know every kilogram saved means potentially faster lap times, so we’ve recreated our most popular wheel designs using modern flow forging technology.
Our Flow Forged line is crafted for those ready to take their car to the next level. Offered in 18”, 19”, 20″ and 22″ diameters with optional staggered fitments, our CFF wheels are much lighter and stronger than our cast line. Built to handle aggressive driving styles, on the streets or on the track.
What Are Flow Forged Wheels?
Flow forging, or flow forming, is one of the most advanced manufacturing technologies to enter the wheel industry. This process involves the application of pressure to the inner barrel of the wheel, while spinning and after it has been cast. This technique stretches and compresses the aluminum, which increases tensile strength. The flow forging process shares similar properties to the full forging process. The final product produces a lighter and stronger wheel with increased elongation, and a much greater shock resistance as well as the ability to increase load capacity. The end result? The ideal balance between street and track performance at an affordable price.

The Benefits of Flow Forging
- Reduced Weight: This is one of the most critical factors affecting a vehicle’s road holding ability. Unsprung weight is that portion of a vehicle that is not supported by the suspension, and therefore most susceptible to road shock and cornering forces. By reducing unsprung weight, aluminum wheels provide more precise steering input and improve cornering characteristics.
- Improved Acceleration & Braking: By reducing the weight of the vehicle’s rotational mass, aluminum wheels provide more responsive acceleration and braking. This unique characteristic of Flow Forged wheels provides drivers with the ultimate road-feel in aggressive driving scenarios, such as track driving.
- Durability: The added strength of a quality aluminum wheel can significantly reduce wheel and tire deflection during hard cornering. This is especially important when a vehicle is equipped with high performance tires where lateral forces approach 1.0g.
