Hi guys! Got a question

I was googling and researching earlier today. Are the fl5 and de5 wheels flow formed?

I ask because the wheel weight seems suspiciously light for a 19x9x5

about half of the sources online state they are and the other half say they aren’t with Google ai giving me both options depending on how I phrase the question.

besides the weight being a tip. I also have two more clues that make me believe they are flow formed

1) the edge of the barrel isn’t stamped with a reverse mount warning. Can’t do that on a flow formed barrel

2) in Denver I hit a mega pot hole. Blew out my continental tires in the front. Both of them. Both tires popped right at the sidewall. Yet both wheels didn’t bend at all. On low speed and high speed balancing machine. With new tires on. They balanced perfectly. At s point, front alignment was perfect and including my eyes. 5 sets of eyes have called both wheels “not bent”

thnx if U can help!

My understanding is they are flow formed.

Weird, I had the exact same thing happen to me and my contis right before Christmas travel! My wheels also look ok.

They are flow formed wheels made by enkei using their MAT process. Enkei and MAT are stamped on the back of the spokes.

Conti side wall caps aren’t very robust. This kind of damage guarantees those blow outs and have for years. To be fair to conti I should’ve been paying attention

in my defense. I dropped my kid off at meps. He took his oath. And he shipped out. I was driving with tears in my eyes. I was distracted and I should’ve just pulled over and regained my composure


I’ll say this. My old as4’s and cup2’s and 4s’s would’ve tanked that pot hole. For sure. Even the Indy 500’s would’ve survived

Oh damn. That settles it then. I’m familiar with enkei’s mat stamp. Since the evo days

thanks! I appreciate the info. Very UWU
