Vehicle Modification and Forged Custom Wheel Selection

In vehicle modification, the upgrade of wheels (hubs) is a very common part with significant visual and performance improvements. Among them, "forged custom wheels" are favored by many modification enthusiasts and performance car owners because of their high strength, light weight, and personalized design.

The Relationship Between Vehicle Modification And Forged Custom Wheels

1. Improve Performance

One of the purposes of modifying a vehicle is to improve the performance of the entire vehicle. Forged wheels are much lighter than ordinary cast wheels, which reduces the unsprung mass, thereby bringing the following benefits:

Better handling: faster directional response and more precise control.

Faster acceleration and more sensitive braking: because the wheels are lighter, the inertia is smaller.

Reduce fuel consumption: Especially when the city starts and stops frequently at low speeds, light wheels help reduce energy consumption.

2. Appearance Upgrade

Forged wheels can be customized, including color, shape, edge cutting effect, etc., which are difficult to achieve with mass-cast wheels. Modified car owners often use more aggressive or luxurious wheels to enhance the visual impact of the whole vehicle.

3. Matching Other Modification Projects

When modifying the brake system (such as large-size brake discs or multi-piston calipers), the original wheel may not be able to accommodate it. At this time, a wheel with a larger inner diameter is required-and forged custom wheels can be precisely designed according to needs.

Advantages Of Forged Custom Wheels

Brief description of the main advantages:

High strength and durability: suitable for intense driving or high-performance cars.

Lightweight: Improve driving stability and fuel consumption.

Precision customization: can be accurately matched according to systems such as brakes, suspension, and tires.

How To Choose Forged Custom Wheels?

1. Clear Purpose

Daily city travel: choose lightweight, simple design, and cost-effective forged wheels.

Mountain road or track driving: high-strength aviation aluminum and high-performance forged wheels with heat dissipation design should be given priority.

Off-road use: structurally reinforced forged wheels are more suitable for non-paved roads.

2. Pay Attention To Parameter Matching

PCD (pitch), center hole, offset (ET value), wheel width and diameter must be consistent with the original or modified target.

Incorrect matching may cause uneven tire wear, wheel arch scratches, brake incompatibility and other problems.

3. Choose Regular Brands And Manufacturers

Try to choose brands with TUV, JWL, VIA, DOT and other certifications.

High-quality forged wheels are generally marked with information such as material (such as 6061-T6 aluminum), weight, production process, etc.

It is recommended to avoid "general forging" products without brand and parameter marking.

4. Consider Aesthetic Matching

The body color, tire specifications, brake caliper color, etc. should form a coordinated or contrasting effect with the wheel.

Common color matching includes matte black, gun gray, bright silver, anodized red, etc. Customization can also choose gradient, double-sided cutting and other processes.
