Q: Forged versus flow-formed: why does it matter for a wheel like this?

Forging squeezes the aluminum grain under enormous pressure, producing a denser, stronger wheel than a flow-formed one at the same weight. That is how the UP-05 hits a near-2,000 lb load rating while staying light. Flow-formed wheels like our BBS Flugplatz cost less and perform well for daily use; forged is the pick when strength-to-weight is the priority.
