…flow-forming forging technology. MAP is a highly automated system. Each process is connected in a single-piece flow system that transports wheels from the melting process, through heat treatment and on to machining. The flow forming process produces a finer, more even aluminum structure, yielding…
…Racing's specialty forged wheels in which they take great pride. These are a few of the highest-quality wheels on the market and are forged in Italy by some of the world's finest wheel makers. Forging is the process of forcing a solid billet of aluminum between the forging dies under an…
…for the 20x10" fronts and 20.0 lbs. for the 20x11" rears, the BBS RI is the lightest wheel we offer for the GT-R in any diameter. Not only is it light, but with one-piece forged aluminum construction, it is extremely strong. With a little math, we can see a best case scenario of saving…
…aluminum wheel to obtain the desired profile. This process, which is directly derived from O.Z. Racing's experience in F1, produces wheels that are extremely light and strong. The flow forming process and HLT technology combines to create mechanical characteristics similar to those of a forged…
…lighter weight wheels. MAT is a technology for producing an aluminum wheel by combining Enkei's MAP (Most Advanced Production) and flow-forming forging technology. MAP is a highly automated system. Each process is connected in a single-piece flow system that transports wheels from the melting…
…aluminum wheel to produce the desired profile. This particular process is derived from O.Z.'s experience in F1 and produces a wheel that is extremely light and strong. Combining the HLT technologies with the flow forming process creates mechanical features similar to those of a forged wheel.…
…Plus Size Wheels and Tires Using Lightweight Wheels SSR Semi-Solid Forged 17" x 8" alloy wheels fitted with 245/45ZR17-sized Pirelli P Zero Asimmetrico tires The SSR aluminum alloy wheels used in this test feature five-spoke styling and a unique manufacturing process called Semi-Solid Forging (SSF).…
…wheels for automakers like BMW, Porsche, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Ferrari, Maserati, Jaguar and recently the Lexus IS-F. Their strong, lightweight forged construction made them a favorite with the INDY Car series and with Formula One teams. One of the the most revered is the RS-GT. With forged aluminum…
…features comparable to those of a forged wheel both in terms of weight reduction and structural strength." During the manufacturing process, rollers are used to compress and elongate the material along with the barrel of a low-pressure cast aluminum wheel to obtain the desired profile. This…
…flow-forming forging technology. The complete MAT process has a drastic impact on the microstructure of aluminum and results in outstanding improvement of the mechanical property of the material. With wheels and tires becoming larger, use of the MAT process to manufacture wheels becomes even more…
…increase. Forged: Forging is the process of forcing a semi-solid piece of aluminum between the forging dies under extreme pressure. This produces the lightest and strongest product of the three primary methods. Most of the 2- and 3-piece custom wheels and race wheels in the market are forged. The…
…along the barrel of a low-pressure cast aluminum wheel to obtain the desired profile. This flow forming process, also known as spinning, produces wheels that are extremely light and strong, with mechanical characteristics similar to those of a forged wheel at a greatly reduced cost. We carry the…
…Formula One and Indy car wheels. In forged wheels, computer numerically controlled (CNC) mills add the cosmetics and the bolt circle to exacting tolerances. Forged The ultimate in one-piece wheels. Forging is the process of forcing a solid billet of aluminum between the forging dies under an extreme…
