Spin forging has been a popular wheel manufacturing process for the last decade. It involves forging a cylindrical aluminium block into a round aluminium cake, which is then spun and stretched by spinning to obtain the shape of the rim.
Why Japanese luxury cars like to retrofit spun forged wheels with better performance than casting and cheaper price than forging
The right outfit can make a person look good, and shoes have a "finishing touch". A car is just like a person, and as the saying goes, "change the car first, change the bell", and the wheels also directly affect the external beauty of the car, and relate to the whole car's sense of class. Only when the wheels are properly matched with the vehicle's own temperament can they complement each other.
In addition to looking good, the performance of the wheels, which are the main part of the car, also has a direct impact on the safety of the car. Especially at high speeds, the wheels have to cope with the powerful impact of rough roads. If the wheel is not strong and tough enough, it will easily burst at high speed and pose a threat to the lives of the occupants. This is why there is a saying in the tuning world that "it is better to use the original than to choose a cottage".
Do you know the wheel manufacturing process?
In the market today, there are four main types of wheel manufacturing processes: casting, forging, spin-forging and top-of-the-range carbon fibre wheels. The latter are too expensive to be used on a large scale at present.
Casting is the process currently used by the majority of original wheels. Cast wheels are simple and inexpensive, but have the disadvantage of requiring larger and thicker 'spokes' for strength, and are therefore heavier, which can affect the handling of the vehicle to some extent.
Forged wheels, on the other hand, rely on forging machines (kilotons or tens of thousands of tonnes) to press the aluminium blocks into place. During the press forging process, the metal molecules become more tightly bonded to each other, resulting in better mechanical properties than cast wheels and a better weight reduction.
Spin forging has been a popular wheel manufacturing process for the last decade. It involves forging a cylindrical aluminium block into a round aluminium cake, which is then spun and stretched by spinning to obtain the shape of the rim.
Spin forging has the advantage of being stronger, more ductile and lighter than casting. Compared to forging, spinning forging is more affordable and therefore more acceptable to consumers.
Luxury brands also use spin forging
In order to cater for a wider consumer base, many major international brands use the spin-forging process.
For branded wheels, the core difference lies in the product design.
Many enthusiasts think that wheel design is similar to clothing, and that it is simply a matter of styling the exterior. In fact, as a component that carries the weight of the car, the original design of the wheel is more important than the mechanical design.
Conclusion: As an international luxury upgrade brand, JWHEEL 2759 is a good interpretation of the concept of "understated and gorgeous", and also shows that the original model can also have a different luxury atmosphere. The most important thing is that the JWHEEL 2759 is also very cost effective and suitable for those who like the original style but are looking for a luxury brand style.
Jwheel, as an professional wheel manufacturer, concentrates in R&D and manufacturing of aluminum alloy wheels, including casting wheels, forging wheels and flow-form wheels. The products of it have passed the certifications of SEI、SEMA,VIA, JWL, JWL-T, TUV and so on. Since establishment, Jwheel has been developing steadily, with rich experience of designing and producing aluminum alloy wheels. It has earned the appreciation of both domestic market and foreign market with its high technology, good quality and customer service. It provided OEM service to many international brands like Vossen, OE Wheel, TSW, Rays, ProLine, Oxygen, AUTEC, etc., and it also provide ODM service, that is, for producing a new wheel, you can just provide a sketch, drawing or picture, and then Jwheel will finish the rest parts. By the way, the MOQ of forging wheels is four. (For more information, just go to the website: https://www.jjjwheel.com)
