BJ Wheels F1-Lightweight Flow-Formed Wheels

BJ Wheels F1-Lightweight — Ultra-Light Flow-Formed Wheel for 5×100 and 5×120

The BJ Wheels F1-Lightweight is the ultra-lightweight entry in the BJ Wheels flow-formed range — a 6 cm deep-concave monoblock engineered for drivers who demand serious weight savings without giving up street usability. At 8.5–9.0 kg per wheel, the F1-Lightweight undercuts most cast alternatives by 2–3 kg per corner, translating to a meaningful reduction in unsprung mass and sharper dynamic response. Built with Flow Form technology, laser-engraved, and TÜV-certified for road use in Germany. Available in 18-inch diameter for 5×100 and 5×120 bolt patterns, covering Golf IV, Subaru WRX, Toyota GR86, and BMW 3 Series platforms.

Available Sizes

• Diameters: 18" | 19" | 20" | 21" | 22" | 23" | 24"
• 8×18 | ET35 | 5×100 | Hub 57.1 | 8.5–8.6 kg

Technical Specifications

• Manufacturing: Flow Form (Flow Forged)
• Construction: Monoblock (1-piece)

Weight advantage: At 8.5–9.0 kg, the F1-Lightweight saves 4–5 kg per corner versus a comparable cast 18" wheel (typical 13–14 kg). That is up to 20 kg less unsprung mass across all four wheels — equivalent to removing a small passenger from your suspension.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the concave depth of the F1-Lightweight?
The F1-Lightweight features a 6 cm concave depth — the deepest in the BJ Wheels lineup — giving it a distinctive aggressive appearance particularly visible on wider 9×18 fitments.

Is the F1-Lightweight available for BMW fitments?
Yes — the 5×120 variants (8×18 ET38 and 9×18 ET35) fit most BMW 3 Series and some M-cars with the correct hub centric ring. The F1-Lightweight's 57.1 mm hub bore centres perfectly on BMW E46/E90/F30 OEM hub diameter.

What colours are available?
Copper, Gunmetal, and Matte Black. All colours are available in both 8×18 and 9×18 widths.

Does the F1-Lightweight require hub centric rings for my car?
If your car's OEM hub bore is larger than 57.1 mm, you will need hub centric rings to eliminate vibration. The F1-Lightweight's 57.1 mm bore fits most VAG 5×100 and BMW 5×120 platforms without adaptation — confirm your specific car with us before ordering.

• Rinse with clean water after exposure to road salt in winter.
• Do not use abrasive pads or metallic brushes on the wheel face.
• Re-torque wheel bolts to manufacturer specification (typically 120–130 Nm) after the first 50 km.
