I never said it did anything to the hub. The barrel gets flow formed. Coincidentally the barrel is what bends in most cases you break a wheel on the street. I also never said that flow forming is the same thing as forging. You get a much stronger than cast barrel for a fraction of the extra cost of forging. For a street setup it’s the way to go IMO. |

From the articles i've read, Forged > flow formed > cast when it comes to strength, weight savings, and price.

Yep, that’s a fact supported by testing. Only thing left up to opinion is wether flowformed wheels are worth a few hundred dollars more than cast ones. Then again, forged wheels aren’t worth it for 90% of the population either so YMMV. |

Each of the 17X7.5 TRD gunmetal gray wheels are around 4 lbs. lighter than the 17X7.0 OEM wheels that Toyota used on my 2020 Hakone. That puts them in the 16.5 - 17.0 lb. range.
