The 305 Forged UF308 addresses a specific visual challenge of contemporary electric vehicle platforms: the large unsprung mass and wider suspension packaging of modern EV architectures often creates a larger visual gap between the wheel face and the arch liner than on equivalent combustion-engine vehicles. The UF308 combats this with an outward-angled spoke face that fills this gap optically — spokes that angle toward the viewer appear to occupy more space than flat-face spokes of equivalent diameter.
Each of the eight spokes is angled outward at approximately 8 degrees from the wheel plane at the mid-radius — not visible as an angle but perceived as a spoke face that appears to come forward rather than recede. This convex face geometry also positions each spoke's face highlight line closer to the viewer, giving the UF308 a brighter, more reflective presence at normal viewing distances than a flat-face 8-spoke of comparable finish specification.
The UF308 is optimised for EV performance platforms — Tesla Model S Plaid, Porsche Taycan Turbo S, Audi e-tron GT RS — but works equally on combustion platforms where a visually forward face presence is preferred. BMW M5 and AMG S 63 builds regularly specify the UF308 for its ability to maintain wheel visual presence in wheel arches with significant clearance between face and arch liner.

The 8-degree outward spoke angle in the UF308 is measured at the spoke mid-radius. This angle creates a spoke face profile that is technically a frustum — a truncated cone section — rather than a flat face. The spoke face at the rim is positioned approximately 12mm forward of the barrel plane, while at the hub the face coincides with the standard barrel plane. This 12mm forward displacement is the source of the visual fullness that distinguishes the UF308 from conventional flat-face 8-spoke designs.
Eight spokes at 45-degree equal spacing provide the UF308's rotational symmetry. At 8 spokes the wheel face has no position where two adjacent spoke gaps align simultaneously with the typical 5-spoke caliper geometry — every rotation position shows at least one spoke partially covering each caliper leg. This consistent caliper coverage at every rotation angle is one reason 8-spoke flat designs are common on OEM specifications for performance EV brands, and the UF308 retains this property while adding the forward-volume face geometry.
Satin Hypersilver: Satin hypersilver — a lighter, more reflective silver than standard satin silver — is the most popular UF308 specification on Tesla Model S Plaid and Porsche Taycan platforms. The lighter silver tone references the clean-technology aesthetic of EV brands while the outward-angled spokes appear larger and more dynamic than equivalent flat-face wheels in this finish.
Gloss Black with White Spoke Tips: Gloss black on the spoke bodies and barrel with the outermost 25mm of each spoke near the barrel finished in gloss white — a specification associated with BMW M Motorsport liveries and with Tesla racing derivatives. The eight white spoke tips create an implied circle of highlights near the wheel's outer diameter.
Dark Matte Charcoal: Matte charcoal across the full face and barrel is the stealth specification for the UF308 — popular on AMG Night Package and BMW M Individual Frozen Black builds where the wheel should be present but not competing with the vehicle's body or with illuminated brake caliper highlights. The convex face geometry of the UF308 provides enough visual volume to maintain presence even under this subdued finish.

What makes the UF308 different from other UF-series wheels?
8-spoke convex face — spokes angle outward at the face slightly, pushing visual volume toward the viewer and creating a fuller presence especially on EV platforms where the larger wheel gap amplifies spoke geometry.
Is the UF308 directional?
The UF308 is a non-directional design — the same wheel serves both sides without mirror pairing.
What vehicles does the UF308 fit best?
The UF308's 8-spoke design works well across a wide range of performance and luxury platforms. Popular fitments include 20×10 ET25 for Tesla Model S Plaid and 21×10.5 ET38 for BMW M5 G90. 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.
