If you're on the hunt for wheels that blend classic design with modern performance, the APR A02 Flow Formed Wheels might just be your new best friend. These wheels are available in a range of widths, diameters, offsets, and colors, so you can find the perfect fit for your ride. I’ve got the 18x8.5 version in that slick anthracite finish, and let me tell you, they look fantastic on the road.

The A02s sport a striking 5-spoke design that’s been hollowed out for weight savings. But what really sets them apart is how they interlace with a 5-spoke Y pattern, giving a nod to the beloved APR A01 wheels. It’s like they took a classic snowflake design and gave it a modern twist—definitely a head-turner!

One of the best things about these wheels is their flow-formed construction. This means they strike a killer balance between strength and weight without breaking the bank like forged wheels do. They’ve got a weight rating of 720 KG, which is pretty impressive for a wheel that weighs just 9kg, thanks to some smart engineering and finite element analysis (FEA) that optimizes spoke width. Plus, they’ve got weight-saving pockets cut behind the wheel face to keep things light.

Another feature that I appreciate is the billet aluminum CNC-machined center locking rings. They fit snugly, which means no wobbling or cracking—something that can be a real headache with lesser materials. And if you’re into that stealthy look, the center caps are removable and compatible with various OEM caps. It’s all about that clean aesthetic!

These wheels are designed to fit a 5x112mm bolt pattern, which makes them a great match for most Audi, Seat, Skoda, and VW models from 2005 onward. They also accommodate common VAG center bores of 66.5mm and 57.1mm, so you’re covered there. The anti-slip machining on the barrel is a nice touch, too, preventing any annoying tire-to-wheel rotation.

In terms of certification, these wheels meet SAE J2530 and VIA/JWL standards, so you know they’ve been tested for quality and safety. If you’re running OEM-style ball seat lug bolts, you’re in luck—they’re fully compatible.

So if you’re looking to upgrade your ride with something that’s not just about looks but also performance, the APR A02 Flow Formed Wheels are worth considering. They’ve got the style, the strength, and the savvy engineering that any car enthusiast would appreciate.
