Forged aluminium wheels

what are they and why are they worth choosing?

Forged aluminum rims are one of the most technologically advanced choices in the automotive world. Their unique features, such as lightness, strength and aesthetics, mean that more and more drivers and car enthusiasts are choosing this type of rim, especially for sports and luxury cars.

What are forged aluminum wheels?

Forged aluminum wheels are car wheels made of aluminum that has undergone a forging process.

This process distinguishes them from standard cast or flowform rims because instead of traditional metal casting, aluminum is formed at high temperatures under the influence of enormous pressure.

The result is a material with a much higher density and strength, which translates into better technical parameters and a longer service life.

How are forged aluminum wheels manufactured?

Raw wheels material

The aluminum used in the forging process is usually high-quality aluminum alloys, such as 6061-T6 or 7075, which are known for their excellent mechanical properties.

These alloys are characterized by an excellent strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance.

Forging process

Raw aluminum is heated to a specific temperature and then formed under enormous pressure (forces reaching up to 10,000 tons).

This process causes the material structure to be denser, which eliminates potential imperfections present in traditional castings.

wheel CNC machining

Once formed, the rim is precisely machined on CNC machines, which allows it to be given its final shape and individual design.

In this phase, it is possible to create custom rims, i.e. personalized to order according to the customer’s specifications.

Finish, paint, customization

The finished rims are coated with protective paint coatings, which provides additional protection against corrosion and gives an attractive appearance.

Custom finishes, paint types, engravements are added as you’ve requested.

Why choose forged aluminum wheels?

Strength

Forged aluminum is much stronger than cast aluminum. This is why this type of wheels can withstand heavy loads, impacts and difficult road conditions.

It is worth noting that aluminum alloys such as 6061-T6 have a tensile strength of up to 310 MPa, and their yield strength is around 270 MPa.

Lightness

One of the greatest advantages of aluminum is its low specific weight.

Wheels made of forged aluminum are much lighter than their steel or cast counterparts, which has a direct impact on improving vehicle performance, driving dynamics and reducing fuel consumption.

Corrosion resistance

Thanks to the appropriate processing of the material and coating with a protective coating, forged aluminum rims are very resistant to corrosion, which allows them to be used for a long time in various weather conditions.

Customization possibilites

Thanks to the forging and CNC machining process, custom rims can be designed according to yours individual preferences.

It is possible to create unique designs, tailored to the style of the car.

Forged aluminum wheels are an investment in the highest quality, performance and style. 

Their production, based on advanced forging technology, provides extraordinary strength, lightness and corrosion resistance. 

Additionally, the possibility of personalization makes them a popular choice among owners of sports cars, luxury cars and participants of races. 

If you are looking for a solution that will emphasize the uniqueness of your vehicle and provide exceptional performance, custom forged aluminum wheels will be the perfect choice.
