Forgeline's New One Piece Forged Monoblock SE1 Wheel
Forgeline Motorsports is proud to introduce our latest one piece forged monoblock high-performance wheel, the SE1. Shown here in our Transparent Smoke finish, the SE1 is machined from a single 6061-T6 aluminum forging with “I-beamed” spoke technology to be lightweight, extremely stiff, and have excellent fatigue strength.
Being a one piece wheel, offsets and backspacing are not quite as flexible as they are with a 3 piece wheel (since we can't just mix and match rim shells). But we have a pretty large offset range available, so with the right axle configuration, we should be able to accommodate most potential pro-touring fitments. As of August 2013, all of the 19 and most of the 20 inch diameters are ready to go. 18-inch diameters and additional 20-inch widths are currently in development (we are targeting mid September).

These are great looking wheels.
Are you making these in a concave wheel?
OK there are 2 ways to interpret this question. I'm not sure which you mean, so I'll give you both answers.
1. Yes in any width larger than 9 inches, the SE1 is by definition the deep concave profile. (All 9 inch widths are built on the shallow concave profile. All others are on the deep concave profile.) My photos above might not do a good job of showing the concave angle. Try this:
2. If you mean, do we make a similar spoke pattern in a 3 piece Concave Series wheel, then yes...sort of. The DE3C Concave is a very similar 8 spoke version in a 3 piece concave. See: http://www.forgeline.com/products/co...c-concave.html
Here are a few shots of the one piece forged monoblock SE1 in the Brushed and Cleared finish. Look closely, and you can see the I-beams cut into the spokes and into the spans between the spokes at the outside of the wheel.
