MRR/flow forged wheels on track?

Are flow forged wheels, MRR specifically suitable for track use? New to the track scene but definitely want to get the car out to both the road course and drag strip and want to know if They are suitable or should I try and get some 1le take offs?

Short answer, Yes. Look at the Best Track Times thread if you need verification

100% yes, you can even reach out to many of our forum members that are actual MRR customers, Many do track events on free time and others use our wheels strictly for track. Camaros is not al we cater to as we also have many partners in the Mustang community and in the Corvette scene who have experience with our wheels in track environments.

As for @Kropscamaro he only has experience wearing knee pads that say HRE on them and has been a member that has chased every post we have or that customers have about our brand with absolutely zero acknowledgement about our wheels. I think he is just a little jealous which is ok

dude your like the most annoying parasite in the Forum community.
just continue to post about the brand you support and leave everyone alone.
what your doing is exactly why the forums are basically dead now.
moderators where forced to apply way more stricter rules which made it difficult for members and sponsors to continually post information.

A friend is on the Nuerburgring every week with absolutely no problem for two years now.
So korpscamaro can tell whatever he wants. These are facts! And Nuerburgring is one of the most difficult racetracks in the world but that's not new to everybody.

I have my MRR scince two years now and drive them on the Autobahn at maximum speed wich ist 175 to 185 m/ph.
Never had a problem. Just the color is not the best but that's it.

Thanks Mike R for the support. I think I remember back sending you the inspection papers for the wheels. Glad you're still running.

While we haven't tracked our ZL1 yet, I've been running flow formed wheels on track on other cars for years with no issues whatsoever.

Just remember that on a serious track car, wheels are consumables. They need to be inspected regularly, and will eventually need replacement.

Oh, and I bought MRR for track wheels for our ZL1.

I understand the flow forged process and how the barrel is stronger, but what about the cast face like the spokes? Does the face not experience heat/stress like the barrel does?

To be clear, I use MRR on track. This thread just got me wondering.

My rims didn't hold up on the track. The first time they went bad I replaced one and repaired to other three. The second time they went bad I threw them out. The tires lasted longer than the rims did. For now I'm sticking with the stock rims.

Which wheels? And what was the failure mode?

Please post pics if you have them... it would be useful data.
