01 / Engineering Principles
Continuous grain
Forging allows the grains to extend along the direction of stress on the spokes, reducing possible internal defects in the casting structure.

Forging Technology
Forging is an engineering system—from material and structure to vehicle data and validation.
02 / Engineering Principles
Finite Element Analysis
Perform finite element analysis for impact, bending and radial loads, iterate key areas, and perform back milling to reduce weight where the structure allows.

03 / Engineering Principles
Vehicle Parameterisation
Wheel diameter, width, ET, PCD, center hole, load and caliper space are collaboratively verified in the same vehicle model.
Learn MoreForging Sequence
From aluminum billet to wheel
High-pressure forming, spinning, heat treatment and precision machining jointly determine the final structure and do not rely on a single process.
Pre-forging
Establish basic material flow direction
Forming
High-pressure shaping of spokes and rims
Heat Treatment
Stable strength and material condition
Finish Machining
Presenting the final structure and accuracy
LESS MASS, MORE CONTROL
Less weight.
Same integrity.
Truly effective lightweighting requires knowing how loads travel through the wheel centre, spokes and rim. Through finite element analysis and physical verification, materials are retained where needed and removed from inefficient areas.
- Unsprung mass
- More direct response
- Rotational inertia
- Acceleration and braking are sharper
- Structural efficiency
- Clearer load path
Vehicle-Specific Engineering
Designed
with the vehicle.
Same diameter does not equal same fit. Brake calipers, suspension, wheel arches, load and tires all determine the parameters available.
