From the road course to the drag strip; our latest example of forged beadlock technology is the new Forgeline forged monoblock VV1R Beadlock. Unlike most traditional drag racing wheels, Forgeline’s forged monoblock single beadlock VV1R Beadlock wheel is carved entirely in one piece from a single forging of 6061-T6 aluminum using an advanced precision machining process. This forged monoblock technology has proven successful, for many years, at the highest levels of road racing, and Forgeline is excited to apply it to beadlock wheels for straight line racing applications.
The VV1R Beadlock wheel is very similar to our track-proven VV1R road racing wheel with one big exception: It has been re-engineered to include a special bolt-on outboard beadlock ring that, like the wheel itself, is also precision-machined from forged 6061-T6 aluminum. This forged aluminum ring holds the tire securely in place, to limit unwanted tire slip against the wheel, and to keep the tire from unseating, at very high speeds. The forged beadlock ring is secured to the wheel with a series of 21 standard lightweight titanium bolts.
Forgeline’s new One Piece Forged Monoblock VV1R Beadlock wheel is available to order immediately in 17, 18, 19, and 20-inch diameters in a range of widths and custom offsets & fitments. Upon request, it can be engineered to work with shank-style lug nuts. And just like any Forgeline wheel, the VV1R Beadlock is available with fully customizable finish options.
