The Flow Formed Process

Utilizing the latest forge-hybrid, flow-forming technology, Giovanna FF (Flow Form) wheels are 20-30% stronger and lighter than other cast wheels. The Flow Form manufacturing process maintains the integrity of the design, while improving the grain structure of the aluminum, creating a stronger, lighter and thinner barrel. The superb squeeze forging capability stretches the inner or outer portion of the wheel, resulting in a wider range of widths.

Step 1

The cast preform is loaded onto a heated drum that will determine the final width of the wheel.

Step 2

Rollers stretch and compress the barrel, widening and thinning it as they go.

Step 3

The final wheel, lighter and stronger, is cooled and prepped for finishing.
