MV Forged AERO+ SERIES AR-500 3-Piece Wheel

MV Forged AERO+ SERIES AR-500 3-Piece Wheel

The AR-500 Aero+ three-piece wheel introduces an aerodynamic function to wheel design that goes beyond mass reduction. The system operates through the rotational movement of the wheel itself, accelerating air through window channels between the structural spoke section and the aero disc cover, then exiting through external orifices in the assembly. The practical outcomes are measurable. Brake cooling improves through increased airflow directed at the caliper and rotor. Downforce contribution increases. Underbody pressure is reduced. These are aerodynamic effects typically addressed at the body and diffuser level. The AR-500 Aero+ achieves them at the wheel. This modular design is often viewed as a four-piece wheel due to the added aero disc, which is used for performance and visual impact. MV Forged classifies it as a true three-piece wheel, made up of a separate outer lip, inner barrel, and center face that are assembled to form the core structure.

The aero disc is available in three material specifications: twill carbon fiber, forged carbon fiber, and aluminum. Each presents a different balance of weight, surface finish, and visual character. Twill and Forged carbon delivers aesthetic with proven composite performance. The aluminum disc option provides the aerodynamic function of the cover system within a more conventional material specification. This option also allows for different surface finishes for owners looking to take their build to the next level.

The hardware throughout the AR-500 aero disc is Grade 5 titanium, machined to the same milling standard as the wheel's structural components. Grade 5 titanium, the aerospace alloy designation for Ti-6Al-4V, offers a tensile strength comparable to steel at roughly half the density, with corrosion resistance that exceeds both steel and aluminum in demanding environments. At the fastener level, that material specification contributes to overall assembly mass reduction while maintaining the clamping integrity the system requires.

The result is a wheel that addresses aerodynamic performance, brake thermal management, and unsprung mass reduction within a single assembly, finished to a standard consistent with the platforms it is built for, including Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Mercedes-Benz, and Porsche applications.
