Lighter. The new MonoForged™ VS8.2 is lighter, wider, and stronger than any of its predecessors. This weight reduction was achieved by implementing several advanced manufacturing processes including flow-forming. Flow-forming helps reduce barrel thickness by up to ten-percent. We also achieved such significant weight reduction by using Vehicle Specific Profiles (VSP) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) by using Vehicle Specific Load Ratings (VSLR) and Vehicle Specific Weight Optimization (VSWO).
By using VSLR and VSWO, weight can be reduced by eliminating the need of using excessive load ratings due to the wheel blanks being shared with higher rated platforms. MORR manufactures wheel blanks exclusively for every design it produces, allowing us to engineer the blanks according to the specific load ratings of the vehicle brand & model we are making the wheel for. This in turn increases our production costs, but allows us to make a far superior wheel.
Through VSP, we can minimize excessive back spacing in our wheel blanks. Adding material to the back pad is required when sharing blanks among different platforms, increasing the weight and required excessive machining of the back pad which could compromise the integrity of the final product. Our MonoForged™ blanks are vehicle specific, thus requiring minimum machining of the back pad, resulting in a lighter wheel without compromising its integrity.
Wider. At 10-inches wide, our new VS8.2 rears are .5-inch wider than its predecessors, widening the vehicle’s rear track, allowing for wider tires, increasing the concavity profile and improving the overall vehicle handling dynamics.
Stronger. At MORR, during the design stage, our engineers run FEA simulations to ensure the weight optimization process does not sacrifice wheel strength. To ensure our wheels are ultra-lightweight and equally as strong, our MonoForged™ product line is manufactured using only the highest grade 6061-T6 Aluminum. All of our wheels conform to the strict international and domestic standards of wheel quality and manufacturing, which include VIA/JWL, TuV-Rheinland and SAE J2530 standards for the US DOT. Our MonoForged™ VS8.2 is rated at the new safety standard of 690-kg (1518-lbs) per corner and is also subject to extensive Rotary Bending Fatigue, 13-degree Impact @ 0-degrres, 13-degree impact @ spoke, Radial Load Endurance and Radial Load Fatigue physical testing.
Product Features:
Re-Designed - The new VS8.2 is a step above from our VS8 design. A lot of attention was given to detail during the design stages of this wheel. The spokes have been extended further out and the outer lip has been reduced, creating a larger appearance, while the spoke shape has been given more dimension through enhanced curvature. The outer lip has been smoothed as well for a cleaner, more "finished" look.
Ultra-Concave - Being one of the pioneers of the concavity trend, the new MonoForged™ VS8.2 is the most concave 10" wheel currently available for the Audi S4/S5 with a profile depth of over 30-degrees!
Inner Lip - One of the greatest challenges with the VS8 inner lip was its depth. At over 3", the availability of milling machines that were able to mill that deep was extremely limited. With the new MonoForged™ VS8.2, that lip was further increased to 3.25", further enhancing the overall look of the design.
Optimization - Through Vehicle Specific Profiles (VSP), Vehicle Specific Load Ratings (VSLR) and Vehicle Specific Weight Optimization (VSWO) we can create wheel blanks that are specific to the vehicle applications. This reduces excess back-pad material, reducing weight and improving strength. The minimal back-pad spacing, as shown below, eliminates the need for excessive machining. This ensures structural integrity is not sacrificed.
Ultra-Lightweight - The new MonoForged™ VS8.2 is one of the lightest 7-spokes wheels available. Weighing in at only 19-lbs for the front! (in 19")
FEA - Finite Element Analysis helped optimized the wheel strength and remove unnecessary material for the lightest possible wheel. Even at 19-lbs (in 19"), the new VS8.2 wheel was tested at a load of 690kg and passed every FEA with flying colors.

Yes - we certainly won't post sponsorship pricing in a public thread. This is a one-time deal and part of the sponsorship is a non-disclosure of this pricing. This price should not, and cannot be used as a bargaining chip for future purchases.

No flame Matt,
BUT
that implies that extra cost as listed is wanted since neither option is listed.
Plus that 'sponsorship' pricing has been played out on the net. If it is true you should get permission from Morr to post a copy of this, their's I presume, offer; removal of contact info expected.

I am unsure what to make of a moderator questioning a sponsor of various forums you are on and that we sponsor as well, but anyways, the answers to your questions follow:
1. That finish is passed along in the sponsorship.
2. Anyone questioning the validity of our sponsorship offering is welcomed to call Andy at MORR 877.947.6677 ext. 27 or on his cell at 305.310.2859
3. This is a true partial sponsorship, the price we quote in private messages, in emails or over the phone is confidential and cannot be used under no circumstance to price shop MORR dealers or any brands. This pricing will never be seen again, and the group buy that will follow these sponsorships will still be far from the pricing we quote for the partial sponsorship.
4. MORR is very well known in the BMW market, we are their official representative for the Audi, Mercedes, Nissan GTR, Porsche and other exotic market to push their wheels on a much wider scale. Refer to no 2 to confirm this claim.

NP,
Keep in mind that part of a moderator's responsibility is to protect the membership. Therefore questions are allowed.
Another one is that we are members as well or foremost; your choice.
Again, questions are allowed. You answered them.
Now you have to understand that blindly following posts that request off site contact, so to speak, has been know to back fire more that one wants to admit. I'm sure you know this with the nets wheel fiasco which you didn't participate in, but had to experience first hand.

I fully understand your position and might have overreacted to your post, our sincere apologies.
The main reason for PMs is that, in this case, this pricing will truly never be seen again. It's not one of these - PM us and we'll get you pricing like the competition type of thing!

I've been offered a few "partial" sponsorships in the past by some 3pc forged wheel companies. A 20" set was roughly $2500-3000, depending on wheel company, so I'd think this "deal" would be around that.

That is not the case here. If your experience with other sponsorships leads you to believe that, then fair enough.
These are 1 piece forged, lightweight wheels made in the USA. A comparable product is the HRE P40S, which retails over 6,000$ and is not concave unless you opt for their new SC series, which isn't as concave as the MORRs. The only we would make money off a sponsorship deal is if we ripped off everyone here and these were forged in China!
Some food for thought.
