Endless Forged builds one thing and builds it seriously: one-piece forged wheels machined from 6061-T6 aerospace-grade aluminum billet. Where most aftermarket wheels are cast from A356 alloy, Endless Forged starts with heat-treated 6061-T6 billet and cuts the wheel out of it, producing a denser grain structure with a far better strength-to-weight ratio and strong corrosion resistance. The company came into the market from a motorsports angle, and the engineering reflects it: barrel knurling for torsional tire grip, milled spoke sides to shed weight without giving up strength, and concavity engineered per offset with brake caliper clearance designed around specific cars. The flagship F01 is a classic five-spoke available in 18x9.5 and 18x10.5 across several offsets and finishes. Endless Forged is based in City of Industry, California, roughly half an hour up the freeway from us. Performance Plus Tire has been family-owned since 1978 and brings over 100 years of combined team experience to performance and track fitment.

The difference between a forged wheel and a cast wheel is not marketing language, it is metallurgy. A cast wheel is made by pouring molten A356 aluminum into a mold and letting it solidify. The result works fine for most street applications but carries a less uniform grain structure with more porosity, which means material has to be added to reach a given strength target. A one-piece forged wheel starts as a solid billet of aluminum that has been compressed under enormous pressure, aligning the grain and eliminating voids, then gets machined down to its final shape. Endless Forged uses 6061-T6, the same heat-treated alloy specified for aerospace structural parts, which is why the wheel can be made dramatically lighter at equal or greater strength.
That weight reduction is rotating unsprung mass, the most valuable weight to remove from a car. Lighter wheels mean the suspension has less inertia to control over bumps, the brakes have less rotational energy to arrest, and the drivetrain has less mass to accelerate. On a track car the effect shows up in lap times and brake temperatures. On a street car it shows up as sharper turn-in and a noticeably more settled ride over broken pavement. Forged wheels also tend to bend rather than crack under impact, which is meaningful if you are running low-profile tires on rough roads.
The F01 is a traditional five-spoke with sharp angles, a deep center pad, and chiseled spoke faces, and the details underneath the styling are where the engineering shows. Knurling, the machined slots running along both sides of the barrel where the tire bead sits, increases torsional grip between wheel and tire. That matters under hard launches and heavy braking, where a slick barrel can let the tire rotate independently of the wheel and throw off balance. It is a feature usually reserved for dedicated racing wheels, and Endless Forged runs it as standard.
The spokes are milled out along their sides to remove material from areas that carry less load, preserving the classic look while cutting weight. Concavity is engineered per offset rather than applied uniformly, and each wheel is designed around brake caliper clearance for specific vehicles. Endless Forged designates these variations as Face 1 and Face 2 to distinguish the concavity profile, so a lower-offset wheel gets a deeper dish while a higher-offset wheel keeps clearance for a big brake kit.
The F01 is offered in 18x9.5 in ET22, ET38, and ET40, and in 18x10.5 in ET22, ET35, and ET38, with the 18x10.5 ET38 configured as a Supra fitment. Common bolt patterns are 5x114.3 and 5x120, with 5x112 available as a custom drill that adds lead time. Finish options include Gloss Black, Satin Silver, Matte Bronze, Gloss White, and Apex Blue, the last being the brand's signature color and the one that tends to sell first.
This is a focused fitment range aimed squarely at performance platforms, so confirming your application before ordering matters more than usual. Offset, brake caliper clearance, fender clearance at full compression, and tire sizing all need to work together, and a staggered setup adds another layer. Call us at (888) 926-2689 with your year, make, model, suspension setup, and brake package and we will spec it properly. Performance Plus Tire has been building performance and drag applications since 1978, we keep over 5,000 custom wheels in stock, and pricing is listed clearly with no surprise fees at checkout.
Endless Forged is an American wheel manufacturer based in City of Industry, California, specializing exclusively in one-piece forged wheels. The company entered the market with a motorsports focus, stating its goal as bringing high-end forged wheel technology within reach of the enthusiast community. Its flagship product is the F01 forged wheel.
A one-piece forged wheel is machined from a single solid billet of aluminum that has been compressed under extreme pressure, rather than poured into a mold as a casting. The forging process aligns the metal's grain structure and eliminates the porosity and voids found in cast wheels, so the wheel can be made significantly lighter at the same or greater strength. Because the wheel is a single piece, there are no bolts or seams between barrel and face that could loosen or leak.
Most cast aftermarket wheels use A356 aluminum alloy, which is formulated to flow well into a mold. Endless Forged uses 6061-T6 billet, a heat-treated alloy specified for aerospace structural components, which delivers a much higher strength-to-weight ratio along with excellent corrosion resistance. The practical result is a wheel that can be made lighter without sacrificing structural integrity.
The F01 is offered in 18x9.5 with ET22, ET38, and ET40 offsets, and in 18x10.5 with ET22, ET35, and ET38, where the 18x10.5 ET38 is configured as a Supra fitment. Standard bolt patterns are 5x114.3 and 5x120, and 5x112 is available as a custom drill that requires additional lead time. Because the range is focused rather than universal, confirming your specific application before ordering is important.
The F01 is available in Gloss Black, Satin Silver, Matte Bronze, Gloss White, and Apex Blue. Apex Blue is the brand's signature finish and the one most associated with Endless Forged in the enthusiast community. Availability by size and offset varies, so call us to confirm the combination you want before ordering.
Face 1 and Face 2 are Endless Forged's designations for different concavity profiles on the same wheel design. Rather than applying one concave shape across the whole range, the company engineers maximum concavity for each offset while preserving brake caliper clearance for specific vehicles. In practice a lower-offset wheel can carry a deeper dish, while a higher-offset wheel maintains the clearance needed for larger brake packages.
Knurling refers to machined slots cut into the wheel barrel where the tire bead makes contact, and Endless Forged applies it to both sides of the barrel as standard. Its purpose is to increase torsional grip between the wheel and the tire so the tire cannot rotate independently of the wheel under hard acceleration or heavy braking. Tire slip on the barrel throws off wheel balance and is a real concern in drag and track applications, which is why knurling is normally found on dedicated racing wheels.
Yes. Endless Forged designed the F01 with motorsports in mind, and the combination of forged 6061-T6 construction, low weight, barrel knurling, and per-offset brake clearance is aimed directly at track and performance driving. Forged wheels also tend to deform rather than fracture under severe impact, which is a meaningful safety characteristic at speed. The same qualities that make them work on track make them a strong street wheel as well.
Endless Forged offers a limited lifetime structural warranty on its wheels. The company also runs a wheel replacement program that lets owners buy a replacement wheel at 25 percent off MSRP if one is damaged, subject to conditions including original purchase of a full set of four or more matching wheels, a claim within two years of the invoice date, proof of purchase, and photo and video documentation of the damage. Eligibility depends on where the wheels were purchased, so call us at (888) 926-2689 and we will confirm the current terms before you order.
Brake clearance was a design priority for the F01, with concavity engineered per offset specifically to preserve caliper clearance on target vehicles. That said, a big brake kit or an aftermarket caliper upgrade changes the equation, and an 18-inch wheel leaves less room than a 19 or 20. Call our fitment team at (888) 926-2689 with your vehicle details and brake setup and we will verify clearance before your order ships.
