Work Wheels Emotion T5R 18x8.5 5x114
For 2018, WORK Wheels has added a new model to the Emotion series, the Emotion T5R. This 5 spoke design gains influence from previous models while using WORK Flowforming Technology. This barrel process, also known as WFT, allows for weight reduction without strength sacrifice.
WORK Flowforming Technology (WFT) is a specialized manufacturing technique that involves the use of a barrel-forming process. This process combines the advantages of both casting and forging methods. It starts with casting a wheel face, which is then subjected to a rotational flowforming process. This involves stretching the material using hydraulic rollers while the wheel is spun at high speeds. This process helps in shaping the barrel of the wheel, which is the part that connects the face to the rim. The result is a wheel with reduced weight compared to traditional cast wheels, without compromising on strength.
By utilizing WFT, WORK Wheels aims to create a wheel design that not only inherits the visual appeal of their previous models but also provides improved performance through weight reduction. This technology allows them to optimize the wheel's structural integrity while achieving a lighter overall weight. Lighter wheels can lead to benefits in terms of handling, acceleration, and overall driving dynamics.
