True. 
Price-wise, are they more or less expensive than the V710s?

This specialized process begins with a low pressure cast and uses a flow-forming equipment that spins the initial casting, heats the outer portion of the barrel and then uses steel rollers pressed against the rim area to pull the rim to its final width and shape. The combination of the heat, pressure and spinning create a rim area with the strength similar to a forged wheel without the price attached to a fully forged wheel.
Put simply, our flow form only weighs a feather more than a fully forged wheel (much lighter than a standard gravity/low pressure cast), is a faction of the cost, and has a equal load rating :biggrin:

The V710's are a bit more affordable than these V810 Flow Forms, however, the value you get from flow-forms is not considered expensive at all. Much lighter, just as strong, and you're only paying a bit more!

I ordered 18" version of the 810 and they will drop ~8lbs each compared to my OEM Karths.

Nice! Well, thanks for the explanation, and the endorsement. I'd already been thinking of picking up a set of the V710s when I needed new tires. Now I'll have to decide between them and the V810s!

That's exactly where I was. Mu Pilot Super Sports are just about shot so if I'm going to deal with mounting/balancing anyway I might as well think about new wheels. I'm keeping my Karths because I really like them and will probably get them refinished.

Yup, huge difference in weight! Get ready for an improvement in braking, acceleration, traction and MPG!
