Yes these are the vorsteiner vff-101. I belive they run around $3,000 a set. They are flow-forged wheels so not truely forged. Name is misleading, but since reading from other people that light weight rim does not benefit too much on this car, I didn't care too much. I went with the gloss black instead of the matte since everyone has the matte/plasti-dip look. Also I think it goes well with the black gloss of the nose cone and soon I will do a gloss black wrap on all my trims to match. Also I was under the impression the pilot super sport were superior to the PS2 in everyway and it does feel that way. I get less wheel spin launching and more lateral grip, but that might be the wider tires.
Spun-Rim, Flow-Forming or Rim Rolling Technology
This specialized process begins with a low pressure type of casting and uses a special machine that spins the initial casting, heats the outer portion of the casting and then uses steel rollers pressed against the rim area to pull the rim to its final width and shape. The combination of the heat, pressure and spinning create a rim area with the strength similar to a forged wheel without the high cost of the forging. Some of the special wheels produced for the O.E.M. high performance or limited production vehicles utilize this type of technology resulting in a light and strong wheel at a reasonable cost. O.Z. has used this technology for several years in their production of racing wheels for Formula One and Indy cars. O.Z.'s
Formula HLT wheel for the aftermarket is an example of a wheel produced using spun rim technology.
