BEAD KNURLING Prevents Tire Slippage: Increases friction at the bead seat to stop tire movement under hard acceleration, braking, and cornering. Enhances Traction & Stability: Keeps the tire securely in place for consistent grip and improved handling. Optimized for High-Torque Vehicles: Ideal for performance, racing, and off-road applications where extreme torque can cause tire slippage Reduces Tire Wear & Air Loss: Minimizes bead deformation, ensuring proper tire positioning and preventing air leaks
	I-BEAM SPOKE STRUCTURE Increased Strength: The I-beam shape optimizes material distribution, reinforcing the spoke without unnecessary bulk. Reduced Weight: By removing excess material from the center of the spoke, the wheel maintains its rigidity while shedding weight, improving overall performance. Enhanced Aesthetics: The sharp, sculpted look of I-beam spokes gives the wheel a more aggressive and modern appearance. Better Performance: Lighter wheels reduce unsprung mass, improving acceleration, braking, and handling.
	FLOW FORMING Flow forming is an advanced wheel manufacturing process that enhances strength while reducing weight. It involves applying heat and pressure to the wheel barrel as it spins on a mandrel, stretching and compressing the material to achieve a thinner yet stronger structure.
	JWL VIA + Enhanced level of testing or compliance that exceeds industry wheels testing standards, including rigorous fatigue bending tests and radial load tests, ensuring superior performance under stress. Our wheels are engineered to offer one of the highest load ratings in the industry, all while maintaining the lightweight characteristics of your typical flowform wheels, elevating performance to the next level.

  • ✔️: Applicable/approved fitment with OE tire size
  • ⚠️: Aggressive fitment and/or requires Different Tire Size from factory (Contact us for more specific details)
  • ❌: Not applicable

  All listed sizes for each vehicle are wheel manufacturer-recommended fitments based on factory vehicle suspension components, and no vehicle modifications should be necessary.

  Should your vehicle have any modifications, then we can no longer guarantee fitment to your vehicle. If your Mazda is not listed, then this wheel does not have an appropriate size available for your vehicle.
