Design Focus:
The WA-AF261 sports a split 10-spoke pattern inspired by GT-class race cars. The thin spokes improve airflow to the brakes, reduce overall weight, and visually elongate the wheel for a clean, sporty aesthetic.
Its concave center profile gives your car a wider, more planted stance, especially when paired with low-profile performance tires. This wheel is both form and function — designed to reduce rotating mass while keeping your car looking bold and aggressive.

Why Flow Forming?
Flow Forming is a next-generation manufacturing method that combines the cost benefits of casting with the strength of forging. It involves stretching and compressing the barrel of the wheel under heat while spinning — resulting in:
• Stronger metal grain structure
• 25% lighter than standard cast wheels
• Improved impact resistance
• Greater durability under UAE road conditions
The WA-AF261 benefits from all of this, making it a top-tier choice for serious performance drivers in the region.

Why Choose WA-AF261 Over Generic Wheels?
Let’s compare:
Generic Cast Alloy Wheels:
• Heavier
• Prone to cracking under pressure
• Low-quality finish (peels or fades)
Aftermarket Wheel WA-AF261:
• Flow formed = lighter and stronger
• Premium finishes that resist heat and sand
• Track-inspired look
• OEM TPMS-compatible
• Tested for high-speed UAE driving
