Description

Decreasing unsprung weight (weight below the suspension) and rotational mass greatly improves several responsive aspects of usable performance you can actually feel. The Apex-6 Wheel was designed to reduce overall weight, while also centralizing mass to decrease rotational forces. These weight reductions result in improved suspension response, lighter handling, faster acceleration and shorter braking distances. More info about unsprung weight and rotational mass at the bottom of the page.

CAD Designed, one piece, proprietary Forged monolithic hub design. Core Moto makes true forged wheels, purpose built for performance. Rather than using market available generic forged blanks, Core Moto wheel forgings are made specific to each model we offer from proprietary forging dies. Although a custom forging limits the amount of sizes we can offer, it nets a superior product overall due to optimized grain flow properties. Each wheel starts out as an aluminum billet that does not resemble a wheel. This Billet is then heated and formed by a 6000 ton controlled Hydraulic constant pressure forge to create the central hub and spoke profile with optimized grain flow. Next a cold spin process is used to form the strong and light rim section. This creates the basic shape of the wheel profile with a non linier grain that instead flows to match the profile of the wheel. This process is highly controlled to distribute the grain of the metal in a way that optimizes the strength of the wheel on a molecular level, thus requiring less material (weight) needed in the final product. Constant pressure forging creates a more controlled and repeatable product than traditional drop forging.. Core Moto wheels are not drop forged. After forging, the near net forged blanks are heat treated, turned and milled by 3 and 5 Axis CNC machines in the USA with carbide and diamond cutting tools to remove material and give the wheel its final shape.

Proudly made in the USA.

FORGED ALUMINUM WHEEL SET

Note: Anodized colors can vary from batch to batch. Wheel sets are paired as front and rear sets in the anodize process… Very slight shade differences from front to rear may be present when sold as a pair, but will remain under a 5% range. In most cases this is undetectable when the wheels are mounted on the vehicle.

**Raw finish means the wheel bodies have had no surface finishing treatment or protective coating. This option is only for customers who wish to have the wheels Painted, powdercoated or anodized themselves. Raw Machine finished wheels are sold with all components but are not assembled and carry no factory warranty since the wheels can be damaged in the finishing process if not done properly. Buyer assumes all risks.
