The Brushed Charcoal V09 Flow Formed beadlock UTV wheel combines the manufacturing process of both casting and flow forming. The process begins with a gravity casting to form the wheel face and front lip, however the rear barrel is short and thick. The cast face is then put in a rotary machine that spins and heats up the casting, while rollers press/form the thickened part of the rear barrel into its final width and shape. Through a combination of heat, pressure, and spinning, the process realigns the grain structure and molecular properties of the aluminum alloy, resulting in a much stronger and lighter wheel. This unique hybrid manufacturing technique creates a wheel with a cast spoke face and a flow formed barrel, enhancing the performance at an amazing price point.
The V09 UTV wheel is manufactured using only A356 aluminum with T6 heat treatment for one super strong wheel. Clean twelve spoke design with debossed VALOR "V" logo on wheel face. Offroad inspired and reinforced inner lip. Engineered to exceed SAE 2530 safety specifications. Bolt-on center cap with embossed charcoal logo.
Shipping was fast and parts arrived as expected. The install was relatively easy. I did have to narrow the extension brackets for the lap belt just a little to fit into the mounting location. This was on a 2025 machine so I’m unsure if this is due to Yamaha making a minor change to the mounting locations. It was nothing that a few minutes with a dremmel couldn’t handle. Adding the harnesses is one of the best mods I’ve done to my machine!
I bought a pair of these for my Rmax and they did not disappoint. They lock into place very nice and do not move at all once you get them tightened down. I very highly recommend getting them. If you’re thinking about getting them, stop thinking and just get them.
Very happy with my last purchase, great communications wich is key with me. I would recommend this shop to a friend for sure, I will be doing future business with these guys .
