Borbet TX (FlowForming, Premium category, aerodynamic technology carrier) The Borbet TX wheel design impressively demonstrates how aerodynamically strong and yet light a wheel can be. This groundbreaking wheel combines all the pioneering technologies used by Borbet for weight reduction, optimisation of aerodynamic properties and optical individualisation. With innovative technologies and an uncompromisingly aesthetic design, it sets new standards in terms of aerodynamics and functionality. The TX wheel design combines everything that is possible at Borbet — from filigree gloss turning to lightweight construction techniques such as Undercut, FlowForming and Performance Cut, as well as numerous individualisations using the Borbet ExaPlus and ExaPeel processes. The wheel impressively demonstrates how perfectly shaped an aerodynamic wheel can look. The Stream-Flow guides the path of the airstream around the respective wheel arch and thus ensures perfect airflow around the vehicle. By reducing flow resistance and optimising air turbulence, the Borbet TX wheel sets new standards in terms of performance and riding comfort. The aerodynamic properties of a wheel harbour valuable potential in terms of energy efficiency and range. Borbet relies on vehicle-specific wheel designs to reduce the vehicle's aerodynamic drag and thus lower fuel consumption. Borbet AERO products make an important contribution to achieving the statutory CO2 limits. The TX is specially designed for heavy vehicles, bringing the power of high-performance vehicles impressively onto the road. First presented at the IAA in Frankfurt in 2019 as a technology carrier, the TX has since been further developed into the ATX variant with a focus on wheel styling. Category: Premium / AERO PCD: 5-hole Technologies: FlowForming — the secrets of automated FlowForming are rotation and pressure: the compaction of the rim base by pressure rollers leads to greater stability and a more delicate rim base thickness, making the wheel lighter and more resistant with significantly better driving dynamics Undercut — an automated technique in which all non-load-bearing areas of the rim base are removed by mechanical processing, resulting in lower wheel weight with the same strength plus higher ventilation cross-section for improved ventilation Performance Cut — precision finishing for enhanced aesthetics Stream-Flow — aerodynamic design guiding airflow around wheel arch Glossy Turning — surface turned on a high-precision, computer-controlled CNC lathe using a diamond cutting insert so that it reflects the light and brings out the natural lustre of the metal, then sealed with clear lacquer ExaPlus/ExaPeel — individualisation processes for customisation Surface Variants: Metal grey glossy, Black polished glossy Load Capacity: High wheel load — specially designed to withstand extreme loads and provide reliable performance in demanding conditions Winter Suitability: Winter-ready year-round — guarantees optimum driving pleasure even in the cold season Fits vehicles such as, but not limited to: Audi E-Tron, Audi Q7, Audi Q8, VW Touareg, VW T6, Tesla Model X, Tesla Model S, BMW X5, Mercedes GLE, and other heavy vehicles with compatible 5-hole bolt pattern
