The MR12 is RM Forged's flagship 2-piece design, built for owners who want the strength and light weight of true forged construction without giving up the deep-lip, custom-fit look that only a multi-piece wheel can deliver. Every MR12 starts life as a solid billet of aircraft-grade aluminum, forged under thousands of tons of pressure to compress the metal's grain structure — a process that produces a wheel far stronger and lighter than any cast or flow-formed alternative at the same size.
Construction
The MR12 splits into a forged monoblock center face and a separate forged barrel, joined with grade 8 stainless hardware and a precision-sealed lip for a fully weather-tight fit. Building the barrel and face separately is what lets RM Forged offer the wheel in virtually any width and offset combination without re-tooling the whole wheel — so the same face design can be built shallow and aggressive for a daily driver or stretched into a deep concave for a show fitment.
- Material: Forged 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, solution heat-treated and aged for maximum strength-to-weight ratio
- Construction: 2-piece — forged monoblock face bolted to a forged (or optional stamped) barrel
- Weight savings: Typically 30–40% lighter than a comparable cast wheel, reducing unsprung and rotational mass
- Hardware: Stainless steel assembly bolts with a sealed, weather-resistant barrel joint
Sizing and Fitment
Because the MR12 is built to order rather than mass-produced in fixed sizes, it's available across a wide fitment range to match nearly any application:
- Diameters: 18" to 24"
- Widths: 8.5" to 13", front and rear widths can differ for staggered setups
- Bolt patterns: Custom-drilled to match your vehicle, including multi-pattern options
- Offset: Built to your specified offset and backspacing for a precise, rub-free fit
- Centerbore: Machined with hub-centric rings to eliminate vibration
Finishes
The MR12's face and lip can be finished independently, giving a huge range of two-tone combinations:
- Gloss or matte black
- Brushed, polished, or chrome aluminum
- Custom powder coat in any color, including candy and pearl finishes
- Two-tone face/lip combinations (e.g., brushed face with a polished or black lip)
- Optional forged carbon fiber center cap
Performance Benefits
- Reduced rotational mass improves acceleration, braking response, and steering feel by cutting down the energy needed to spin the wheel up
- Improved strength from the forging process means thinner spokes and a lower profile without sacrificing structural integrity — a wheel that's both lighter and stronger than cast equivalents
- Better heat dissipation, useful for track and performance applications where brake heat transfers into the wheel
- Corrosion resistance from the aluminum alloy and finish process, suited to daily driving in all conditions
Warranty and Support
RM Forged backs the MR12 with a structural warranty against manufacturing defects, bends, crack and because it's built in-house to order, are available down the line without needing to replace the entire wheel.
