WedsSport TC-105X 18x10.0J +17 5x114.3 EJ-TI

Built in the world of SuperGT Racing, the WedsSport TC-105X presents an unbeatable combination of high strength/rigidity, race-winning technology and unbeliebvable low weight at a price that you won't be able to believe. Since 1993, the TC series has long stood for the ultimate in performance in the WedsSport line, with the same core charactertistics being shared for close to three decades: Low weight, excellent price and high/strength rigidity. These key values have allowed the TC line to be incredibly popular for the racing crowd. With the TC-105X, a slew of high-end racing features cements the wheel's race bred heritage. The EJ-TI paint is a just 12nm thick compared to the industry standard of 50nm; this paint must be applied using vacuum disposition. The lack of paint thickness allows for significant weight savings while the painting method allows for uniformity of the paint for a beautiful, iridescent finish. Unnneccessary material has been removed in areas where extra material is not structurally important, while material has been addd to key points, such as the outer flanges. A new barrel design offers greater brake rotor clearance compared to its predecessor, and the rear mounting surface has been enlarged for increased rigidity between the hubs. This wheel is manufactured in Japan and exceeds JWL/VIA testing standards by 20%.

Utilizing Weds AMF (Advanced Metal Forming) technology, the TC105X is able to be both incredibly light and strong!

Casting & Forging
Generally, the advantage of casting is that it melts aluminum alloy at high temperature and pours into a mold to form as one so the designing flexibility on the disc is pretty high thus it’s easy to mass produce and cost effective. On the other hand, from technical stand point, it’s hard to reduce weight since it’s difficult to form into thin metal. Also what was formed through casting is often uneven and particles are not cohesive therefore its strength is not good enough. On the other side, forged wheels are made by running a lump of aluminum or alloy into high-pressure pressing machine thus aluminum particles spread and formed according to wheel shape and it is stronger (Fiber Flow). Because of the way they are produced, forged wheels can be made light-weight. It seems like it’s perfect but there is a definite weakness of “It’s not flexible from design perspective. It has already been explained, forging process uses high rate of weight to form the shape consequently, it is not suitable for complicated cosmetic face design. Forging also has a disadvantage of being more expensive due to multi-processing.
