History, reputation and uses

Fast EV is a brand from Fastco Canada, the largest manufacturer and distributor of alloy and steel wheels in Canada. Fastco was founded in 1989 by Glenn Chaplin, who launched the Fast Wheels brand in 1995 to meet the specific needs of Canadian automotive enthusiasts. The company, now part of the Touchette Group since 2023, is based in Vaudreuil-Dorion, Quebec, in the Montreal suburbs, with a central facility of roughly 75,000 sq ft and a second site in Airdrie, Alberta. Fast EV was born out of the rise of electric vehicles: EVs are heavier and impose higher load forces, which calls for wheels that are at once light, robust, and aerodynamic in order to preserve range. The brand made its name with Project Arrow, the first zero-emission concept vehicle fully assembled in Canada, led by the Automotive Parts Manufacturers' Association (APMA). The wheel developed for Project Arrow inspired the EV06 model launched in 2024. The lineup covers direct-fit models engineered for specific platforms (the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y above all), with bolt patterns and center bores tailored to each. On the manufacturing side, Fast EV relies primarily on flow forming (flow-formed), a process in which the rim is spun under heat and pressure during casting: this alters the molecular structure of the aluminum, reducing weight and increasing strength compared with a standard cast wheel. The top-tier models, such as the EV04, are fully forged monoblock, lighter still and certified for high loads. Fast EV emphasizes high load ratings (often 690 to 820 kg per wheel), aerodynamic designs that reduce energy consumption, and the FastFinder fitment database to ensure exact compatibility by vehicle.

Recommended use: Fast EV is aimed first and foremost at electric and hybrid vehicles: the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y above all, but also the Mustang Mach-E, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, Polestar, and several hybrids. The approach is direct-fit aftermarket mounting, with a typical 5x114.3 bolt pattern and offsets and center bores calibrated by model to avoid spacer rings and preserve the TPMS sensors. It is an excellent choice for a second set of wheels: a dedicated, narrower winter set protects the original rims from Quebec's salt and calcium. The light, aerodynamic models are well suited to everyday road use focused on range, rather than to track or off-road driving.

Technologies and manufacturing: Most Fast EV models are built using flow forming (flow-formed): the rim is stretched and compressed under heat and pressure during casting, which reorganizes the structure of the aluminum alloy to gain lightness and strength compared with a strictly cast wheel. The EV04 model goes further with a fully forged monoblock construction, roughly 15% lighter than original equipment and certified up to 820 kg per wheel. Load ratings typically fall between 690 and 820 kg, suited to the weight of EVs. The aerodynamic design aims to reduce drag and energy consumption, with a stated range improvement of up to 4.4% on the EV01+ versus a conventional alloy wheel. Design and engineering are carried out in Canada.

Fast EV wheel models

Filtered catalogue
EV01 hiver/direct-fit

The EV01 (and its EV01+ variant) is Fast EV's flagship model, with thin spokes and a clean profile designed for aerodynamics. Flow-formed (flow-forged) in construction, it's advertised as lighter than Tesla's original wheels and is said to deliver up to 4.4% more range than a conventional alloy wheel. It's offered in several diameters (16 to 20 in.) and finishes such as titanium, satin black and silver, in the 5x114.3 bolt pattern typical of EVs. The EV01 18x8 ET45 weighs about 20.4 lb with a 715 kg load rating; the EV01+ in the same size is slightly heavier. It's a solid choice for a Tesla Model 3/Y driver or a compatible Mazda owner looking for an understated look, an efficiency gain and a direct, hub-ring-free fitment. Its light weight also makes it a good candidate for a second set, including winter in Quebec.

EV02 coulée

The EV02 is the more classically styled model in Fast's EV series: a traditional, understated, all-purpose spoke design that moves away from the highly aerodynamic profile of the EV01. Flow-formed and lightweight, it's offered in gloss black or silver, in sizes such as 17x6.5 ET38 (about 14.9 lb per wheel in certain formats) or 18x8 ET42 (around 22 lb, 690 kg load rating), in the 5x114.3 bolt pattern with various bores (66.1 and 67.1 mm). It targets EV and hybrid owners who want a discreet, sturdy and affordable wheel rather than a showpiece design. It's an excellent base for a dedicated winter set in Quebec: the narrower 17 in. format accepts generous winter tires, protects the original wheels from salt, and the gloss black hides winter grime well.

EV03 flow formed

The EV03 adopts a five split-spoke pattern that's sportier and more structured than the EV02. It's built on Fast's exclusive flow-formed construction, ensuring a light and durable profile, and stands out with a gloss gunmetal finish that protects well against corrosion. Designed for direct-fit on electric and hybrid vehicles, it keeps the spirit of the lineup: light weight to preserve range and precise model-specific fitment. Its more assertive look will appeal to drivers of the Tesla Model 3/Y or similar EVs who want a bit more character without going flashy. The gunmetal finish and flow-formed process also make it a good compromise for year-round driving in Quebec, where salt and calcium are hard on finishes; verify the exact offset and bore for your vehicle.

EV04 hiver/direct-fit

The EV04 is Fast EV's premium model: a fully forged monobloc wheel, the most demanding process in the lineup. Designed for Tesla, it's offered in 19x8.5 or 20x9.0 for the Model 3 and in 19x9.5 or 20x10.0 for the Model Y. In 20x9.0, it's about four pounds lighter than the original equipment, roughly a 15% weight reduction, while posting an 820 kg load rating that makes it more durable and certified for all versions of the Model Y. Available in Space Grey, satin black and brushed aluminum, with a starting price around CA$999.99 per wheel. It's the choice for the demanding enthusiast who wants the best weight-to-strength ratio, an efficiency gain and a Canadian-made forged wheel. The high price and Tesla-focused range are worth considering.

EV05 coulée

The EV05 is a flow-formed model in the EV series offered in several sizes and offsets to cover a good range of electric and hybrid vehicles. It comes, for example, in 17x7.0 ET45 (66.1 mm bore, 690 kg load rating) or 19x8.5 ET40 (64.1 or 66.1 mm bore, 750 kg load rating), in the 5x114.3 bolt pattern, with a widely available gloss black finish. Light and durable, it follows the lineup's logic: preserve range and ensure a clean, direct, hub-ring-free fitment that respects TPMS sensors. Its size versatility makes it a good choice for anyone torn between a more modest winter format (17 in.) and a larger styling format (19 in.). In Quebec, the 17 in. works well for a dedicated winter set that's affordable and salt-tolerant; confirm the exact offset and bore for your EV model.

EV06 flow formed

Launched in 2024, the EV06 is the most symbolically charged model at Fast EV: it's directly inspired by the wheel designed by Fastco Canada for Project Arrow, the first zero-emission concept vehicle fully assembled in Canada, led by the APMA. Its main structure is made with flow-form technology, giving a wheel that's light, very strong and well suited to the higher weight and load forces of electric vehicles. Designed for direct-fit on popular EV platforms (Tesla foremost), it pairs a distinctive design born from a Canadian engineering project with the durability expected for everyday road use. It's a choice of local pride for the EV driver who wants an original design tied to Canadian innovation while enjoying the lineup's light weight and efficiency. Confirm the size, offset and bore for the intended vehicle.

Technical

What to confirm for a compatible wheel

fitment

Point technique à valider selon le véhicule, l'usage, la dimension et les recommandations du fabricant.

entraxe

Le bolt pattern doit correspondre exactement au moyeu du véhicule. Une approximation rend la roue incompatible.

offset

Le déport détermine la position de la roue vers l'intérieur ou l'extérieur et influence le dégagement des ailes et des freins.

alésage central

Le center bore doit être compatible avec le moyeu ou corrigé avec des bagues de centrage adaptées.

indice de charge

La jante doit supporter la charge du véhicule, surtout pour VUS, camionnettes, remorques et usages commerciaux.

TPMS

Point technique à valider selon le véhicule, l'usage, la dimension et les recommandations du fabricant.
