How Alloy Wheels Are Made
Understanding the manufacturing process of alloy wheels provides insight into their quality and performance. Here’s a look at how alloy wheels are made:
-
Casting: Most alloy wheels are produced using casting methods. Molten metal is poured into molds to form the wheel shape, with techniques such as gravity casting or low-pressure casting commonly used.
-
Forging: Some high-performance wheels are forged, where a solid piece of metal is shaped under high pressure. This results in a wheel that is both stronger and lighter.
-
Machining and Finishing: After casting or forging, alloy wheels are machined to precise specifications and finished with various coatings and paints for durability and aesthetics.
Conclusion: Alloy wheels are made through casting or forging processes, each contributing to their strength and performance. Explore our range of alloy wheels at OMI Wheels to find the perfect fit for your vehicle.
