The 7800 is a multispoke wheel with an understated, slim design, whose shape was refined through finite element method (FEM) structural analysis in order to optimize the wheel's natural frequency and rigidity. It comes in 16, 17, and 18 inches, with 4- or 5-bolt patterns depending on the version, making it particularly suited to A-segment cars, small agile coupes, and compact sedans. The 7800 therefore targets everyday road use on small and medium-sized vehicles, with a discreet style and a good strength-to-weight ratio for a cast wheel. In Quebec, its versatility and moderate diameters make it a good candidate for a three-season fitment, or even a summer set paired with a dedicated winter set; validate the bolt pattern, offset, and center bore, and choose a suitable finish if the wheel is exposed to salt and calcium.

The 7900 is a five-spoke wheel whose design evokes the shapes of a propeller and the motion of a turbine, with sharp three-dimensional spokes ending in a more massive triangular section. Its construction draws on the material and production technologies developed by Fondmetal across its OEM and competition portfolio, all the way to Formula 1. The wheel is produced by gravity casting, a reliable process which, combined with high-purity aluminum, gives good mechanical characteristics, compactness, and a fine surface finish. The 7900 stands out with a very wide range of diameters, from 15 to 22 inches, making it one of the brand's most versatile models, suited to many vehicles. In Quebec, this breadth of sizes makes it easier to choose a three-season fitment; check the bolt pattern, offset, center bore, and load rating, and favor a robust finish if the wheel must face winter salt.

The 9RR is a sport wheel with sculpted spokes, featuring a taut, three-dimensional design that evokes thrust and perceived lightness, designed for performance-oriented vehicles. It comes in a wide range of diameters, from 17 inches to 20 inches, with several widths (from 7.0 to 11.0 inches depending on the diameter), covering everything from sporty compacts to more powerful coupes and sedans. Bolt patterns range from 4x98 to 5x130 depending on the reference, with offsets (ET) and homologations (TUV, ECE, KBA, NAD) varying from one configuration to another. A monodado (single center nut) variant in 20 inches is dedicated to certain Porsche models. Finishes include gloss black, matte black, and gloss gold, all advertised as winter-approved. In Quebec, it's a relevant model for those seeking a homologated sport look: validate the bolt pattern, offset, center bore, brake clearance, and TPMS compatibility, and consider a robust finish if the wheel is exposed to salt.

Aero is a family of Fondmetal wheels to be documented according to the sizes, bolt patterns, offsets, and finishes available in the official catalog. It needs to be linked to the site's vehicle, dimension, and usage filters.

The FMS range groups together wheels from Fondmetal's Signature Series, where each model (for example FMS-04 or FMS-07) is engineered for a specific platform, the FMS-04 notably being designed for the Lamborghini Aventador. The idea is a dedicated wheel whose design, bolt pattern, offset, and dimensions are calibrated for a given vehicle rather than a universal wheel. It's therefore a high-end product, designed for supercars and prestige vehicles, drawing on the brand's manufacturing expertise and motorsport heritage. The target audience is very specific: owners of exotic or premium vehicles seeking a wheel with a custom character. In Quebec, relevance depends entirely on the platform: these models are only of interest if your vehicle appears in the intended application. It's imperative to validate the exact compatibility (bolt pattern, bore, offset, load) and availability, as the dedicated nature limits alternative fitments.

The STC-05 belongs to the STC (SuperTuning Concave) family, characterized by maximum concavity and a differentiated design between the front and rear of the vehicle. It's a one-piece forged wheel, a construction that prioritizes strength and lightness for high-end sport use. The model comes mainly in 20 inches, with widths typically from 8.5 to 10 inches and a five-spoke concave design, shaped to fill the wheel well and offer an aggressive stance. The target audience: owners of premium and sporty vehicles seeking the visual effect of a forged concave wheel and the associated lightness. In Quebec, this type of large-diameter forged wheel is better suited to three-season use: carefully check the bolt pattern, offset, center bore, load rating, and caliper clearance, and consider a less expensive second winter set to preserve the STC-05's finish from salt and calcium.

The Tech 6 is a wheel with a twin 5-spoke (mesh-style) design and a polished face, a classic and versatile style that fits many road vehicles. It comes notably in 17 and 18 inches, with a common width of 7.5J, offsets ranging from about 15 to 50, and most fitments in 5-bolt, covering a good portion of common sedans and compacts. Offered finishes include polished black and silver polished mesh. Positioned as an everyday-use model combining Italian design and practicality, it suits a driver looking for an attractive yet versatile wheel rather than an extreme sport wheel. In Quebec, the Tech 6 is a reasonable choice for a three-season fitment: validate the bolt pattern, offset, and center bore, and keep in mind that polished faces require regular maintenance to withstand salt and calcium if the wheel is exposed in winter.
