SCROLL
WHY IT EXISTS

Built to our spec. Forged. In stock.

Finding an 18×10.5 wheel in New Zealand is easy. Finding one that is forged, without the premium price tag and months of waiting, is another story.

So we had a set built the way we wanted it. An OEM+ six spoke that keeps the factory silhouette, specced with thicker spokes and a more aggressive concave, forged from 6061-T6 aluminium.

Specced here, locally stocked, and already in Auckland.

FORGED, NOT CAST

Forged, then machined

A cast wheel is molten aluminium poured into a mould. Ours starts as a solid block, pressed under thousands of tonnes until the grain of the metal runs with the shape of the wheel instead of every which way.

The spokes are then cut out of that forged blank on a CNC machine. Every surface you can see has been machined — none of it was moulded. That is why it can be this light and still take the load.

01

Pressed

One solid block of aluminium, squeezed under thousands of tonnes. No pour, no porosity.

02

Machined

The spoke shape is cut out of the forged blank, not formed by a mould.

03

Finished

Hub, lug seats and centre caps all machined, then the finish goes on.

SPECIFICATIONS

The details are built in

Every wheel is stamped with its specifications — size, offset, stud pattern, centre bore, load rating and alloy — clearly marked on the back for easy reference.

With an 800kg load rating per wheel, that is 3,200kg across a full set.

The centre bore is 73.1mm. Depending on your vehicle, hub-centric rings may be needed. Tell us what you drive and we will confirm the correct fitment.

BEFORE YOU BUY

QUESTIONS

Questions

Will they fit my car?
If it is 5x114.3 the studs line up. Whether a 10.5 at ET17 clears depends on ride height, camber and calipers. Tell us the setup and we will answer straight — including when the answer is no.
How long is the wait?
Titanium Frost and Mirror Chrome are in stock and ship same day. Desert Bronze is built to order — about four weeks from the factory, plus freight.
Do you ship outside New Zealand?
Prices on this site are in New Zealand dollars, with a live US dollar conversion for reference. We can quote international freight — ask and we will come back with a delivered figure for your country before you commit to anything.
What does shipping cost?
Anywhere in New Zealand, quoted separately rather than buried in the price. Collection from Henderson is free.
Are they really forged?
Yes — 6061-T6 aluminium, pressed from solid billet, then CNC machined.
Can I get a different size or offset?
One size for now — 18×10.5, ET17, 5x114.3. More is coming. We would rather tell you what we have than take an order for something that does not exist yet.
What if one gets kerbed?
Singles at the same per-wheel price — no need to buy another set. Same day while we hold stock, otherwise about four weeks.
What is the load rating?
800kg per wheel, stamped on the hub face along with the size, offset, stud pattern, centre bore and alloy. Certification documents are being issued and we will put them here when they land.
Will it sit on my hub properly?
Centre bore is 73.1, larger than most factory hubs, so the wheel wants hub-centric rings to suit your car. We will tell you the size you need.
Do you supply the trade?
Yes — trade pricing and minimums on request. See the retailer section below.
