TSW's Bathurst wheel is the latest in our line of wheels employing exotic rotary forging® manufacturing technology. Rotary forging® produces wheels that are extraordinarily light. That's because the manufacturing process alters the molecular structure of the aluminum alloy in a way that increases its strength. That force allows TSW engineers to reduce the thickness of the outer barrel, reducing rotational mass.
Just as innovative as its manufacturing process is the Bathurst design, a brilliant explosion of ten ultra-narrow beveled spokes that is as visually light as its actual weight. The Bathurst is stunning, executed in silver with a mirror face or a spectacular bronze sheen. In a nod to TSW's racing heritage, the new steering wheel is named after the Bathurst 1000kM race, considered the pinnacle of Australian motorsport.
The Bathurst Rotary Forged® wheel is manufactured using a highly advanced production technique called Rotary Forging. The rim of the wheels is forged under high pressure while the wheel rotates at high speed. This alters the molecular structure and improves the strength of the alloy. The benefit is much lighter weight than a normal cast wheel. Most importantly, the weight savings are on the outer edge of the wheel, dramatically reducing rotational mass and improving vehicle performance.
