The 305 Forged UF135 exploits a specific optical property of curved spoke geometry: an outward bow on each spoke causes the spoke to appear to rise toward the viewer at its mid-radius, creating the impression that the wheel face is more deeply concave than its actual barrel offset would suggest. This visual depth amplification makes the UF135 particularly effective at standard or moderate offset specifications where a custom deep-concave barrel is not required.
Each of the nine spokes bows outward by approximately 6mm at its mid-point, measured from the chord connecting hub base to barrel land. Combined with a shallow center dish machined to 8mm depth at the hub pocket, the UF135 face creates a compound curvature that catches light differently across its full face area. No two adjacent spokes present the same angular surface to a given light source, producing continuous tonal variation as the observer moves around the vehicle.
The UF135 is specified predominantly for SUV and grand tourer platforms — Audi RS6 Avant, BMW X6 M, GLE 63 S Coupé — where the large arch dimensions demand visual completeness at 21"–22" and where a spoke count of nine provides the coverage needed without the complexity of a mesh design. The non-directional layout allows staggered sets without positional restriction.
Fitment note: Every UF135 is built around your specific vehicle. Send your make, model, year, brake package, and desired stance to [email protected] — fitment confirmed within 24 hours.
We also offer an AI Wheel Design Service if you want a custom spoke pattern or finish concept designed before production begins.
The outward bow of each UF135 spoke is a parabolic curve rather than a circular arc — the curvature is stronger at the mid-radius than at the hub or barrel ends. This parabolic profile is chosen because it creates a smooth highlight transition from spoke root to spoke tip: the highlight begins narrowly at the barrel, widens at the mid-radius bow, and narrows again toward the hub. This widening-then-narrowing highlight is the characteristic visual signature of the UF135 under direct lighting conditions.
The shallow hub dish is machined after the spoke profiling pass, removing approximately 8mm of material from the hub face to create a recessed pocket visible through the spoke openings. This pocket frames the center cap differently than a flat hub — the cap sits within a machined recess rather than flush against the face, giving it a jewel-set appearance that enhances the perceived quality of the complete wheel assembly.
Satin Gunmetal with Polished Hub Dish: Satin gunmetal on the spoke faces with a polished hub dish creates a focal point at the wheel centre that draws the eye inward against the outward bow of the spokes — a visual tension that makes the UF135 face appear active rather than static.
Gloss Black with Milled Spoke Crowns: Gloss black on the spoke flanks and barrel with CNC-milled spoke crown lines running lengthwise create bright highlight bands against the dark base. The bow geometry of the UF135 causes these crown lines to curve gently as they follow the spoke profile, adding to the dynamic quality of the face.
Satin Bronze with Polished Spoke Tips: Satin bronze across the full face with polished spoke tips — the outermost 20mm of each spoke near the barrel transition — highlights the widest point of each bowed spoke and creates a nine-point outer-ring highlight effect that emphasises the wheel's outer diameter.

What makes the UF135 different from other UF-series wheels?
9-spoke outward-bowed face with shallow center dish — the bow and dish combination adds visual bowl depth to standard concave profiles, making moderate-offset fitments appear deeply concave without the cost of a custom barrel build.
Is the UF135 directional?
The UF135 is a non-directional design — the same wheel serves both sides without mirror pairing.
What vehicles does the UF135 fit best?
The UF135's 9-spoke design works well across a wide range of performance and luxury platforms. Popular fitments include 21×10.5 ET37 for Audi RS6 Avant C8 and 22×10.5 ET20 for Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S Coupé. As a custom build-to-order wheel, it adapts to any vehicle — contact us for exact fitment advice.
What sizes are available?
Diameters 13"–24", widths 8.0J–13.5J, any offset and PCD. Hub bore is custom-machined hub-centric — no spacers or adapters needed.
How long does production take?
4–8 weeks from confirmed order and deposit. Rush production may be available — ask at [email protected].
Can I see a finish sample before ordering?
Yes — 305 Forged provides finish samples prior to production. Specify your preferred finish at enquiry and a sample is arranged before the order is confirmed.
