MV Forged AR-102 3-Piece Wheel

MV Forged AR-102 3-Piece Wheel

The Aero+™ Series emerges as an avant-garde carbon hybrid performance line, featuring an assortment of twill carbon, forged carbon, and aluminum aero discs. Notable for integrating Grade 5 Titanium hardware, these components are fashioned through advanced milling techniques. The series leverages the wheels’ rotational motion to expedite airflow, directing it outward via purposefully placed orifices between the window channels and the aero+ cover. This engineering marvel serves to optimize brake cooling and enhance downforce, consequently diminishing pressure beneath the vehicle. Celebrated for its seamless blend of opulence, featherweight efficiency, and forefront design, the Aero+™ Series epitomizes innovation in luxury automotive enhancements.

Engineering

• The aerodynamic impact of wheels on automotive performance is substantial, with wheels contributing to nearly 30% of a vehicle’s overall aerodynamic resistance. When wheels spin, they encounter airstreams, creating a significant drag from this dynamic interplay. In response, Aero+™’s designers and engineers formulated the Aero+™ ring to lessen this aerodynamic impact. A coordinated strategy aimed to suppress wheel-induced turbulence was implemented. The under-ring channels of the Aero+™ design function to expel hot air away from the brakes, particularly following vigorous use, thereby aiding in brake cooling and downforce creation, which is critical for maintaining ideal brake temperatures for peak performance.

Spoke-Lite™ Undercutting

• The Aero+™ Wheel line now boasts the incorporation of the Spoke-Lite™ Register, an exclusive design innovation that contributes to a 10% reduction in weight while revealing the carbon fiber beneath. Scallop Undercutting technology has been instrumental in reducing both the overall weight and the unsprung mass of the wheels, with each spoke’s side scalloping enhancing the “I-Beam” cross-section, thereby reinforcing the strength-to-weight ratio.

Hub Pocketing

• Consistency in design is a hallmark of the Aero+™ wheel series, with each wheel featuring Through-Hub Pockets between the lug holes. These pockets play a crucial role in elevating heat dissipation and trimming down the unsprung mass/weight at the wheel hub. Five specialized build configurations are available, each showcasing unique and proprietary detailing. Every wheel set is distinguished by a unique serial number, along with specific load ratings and dimensions.

4-Piece Caps

• A 4-Piece cap system is a standard accompaniment of the Aero+™ Wheels, providing a wealth of customization options through a broad spectrum of accent colors and logo hues.

• MV Forged stands as a paragon of meticulous artisanship, particularly evidenced by their rigorous finishing process. Selecting only the finest materials from globally recognized sources, the company offers a diverse selection of finish options. This spectrum encompasses everything from brushed or polished foundations to transparent powder coatings that highlight the meticulous patterns.

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
