What does forged mean in wheels?

Forged wheels are a production process for wheels. The process is precise, strong and light.

Forging is a more complex process and therefore more costly to manufacture. High-end cars generally use forged wheels, while ordinary cars use cast wheels.

The manufacturing process of forged wheels is that the aluminum block is heated to a certain temperature and then pressed into a blank with a forging press, and then the blank is spun into shape.

With this process down, its molecular structure becomes very tight and can withstand higher pressure.

What does forged mean in wheels

Forged wheels are made of military-grade aluminum and are lighter. Forged wheels can be subdivided into one-piece forging and multi-piece forging, where one-piece forging means that the entire wheel is formed in one piece and is light and reliable. Multi-piece forged wheels have separate rims and spokes, and this structure has the advantage that the spokes can be replaced to get a new wheel style.

Compared with one-piece forging, multi-piece forging is heavier and requires higher assembly requirements.
