WedsSport TC105X 18x9.5 +39 5x120 - Super Black Chrome (SBC)
The Ultimate Lightweight Racing Wheel for Civic Type R and BMW Enthusiasts.
The WedsSport TC105X in Super Black Chrome (SBC) represents the pinnacle of Japanese wheel engineering. Evolution of the legendary TC105N, the TC105X is lighter, stronger, and more rigid, designed specifically to meet the demands of modern high-performance vehicles. This specific fitment (18x9.5 +39 5x120) is highly sought after by Honda Civic Type R (FK8/FL5) owners seeking a flush fitment without compromising suspension geometry, as well as select BMW chassis.
The Evolution of Speed: TC105X Technology
The TC105X is not just a cosmetic upgrade; it is a functional tool for lap time reduction. WedsSport engineers have refined the design to shave weight where it isn't needed and add reinforcement where stress is highest.
- AMF (Advanced Metal Forming): Utilizing Weds' proprietary flow-forming technology, the barrel of the wheel is spin-forged to align the aluminum grain structure. This creates a rim barrel with the tensile strength and lightness comparable to a fully forged wheel, but at a more accessible price point.
- N-FRAME II Reinforcement: The spokes feature raised structural ribs that increase rigidity and impact resistance, ensuring the wheel maintains its shape under extreme cornering loads and curb strikes.
- Weight Reduction: Extensive side-milling on the spokes and a redesigned center hub remove excess material. The result is a wheel that significantly reduces unsprung weight, improving acceleration, braking response, and steering precision.
The SBC (Super Black Chrome) finish is a premium, synthetic coating technology exclusive to WedsSport. Unlike traditional chrome which adds significant weight, or standard painting which can look flat, SBC uses a vacuum deposition process. This results in a deep, lustrous, mirror-like dark chrome finish that changes character depending on the lighting conditions—appearing near-black in the shade and brilliant hyper-chrome in direct sunlight.
