How are American Racing Wheels Made?

 

Before you start customizing your vehicle, you must know the construction of the wheels you are looking for. Wheel construction and technique change its features and qualities drastically.
Some of the most prevalent wheel materials include steel and aluminum. Steel wheels are constructed in two sections. The inner portion, known as the center, bolts to the automobile. The tire is received by the outer portion, which is known as a barrel. The wheel is formed by welding the two parts together. This is how many original equipment wheels on entry-level trim packages are created. Steel is long-lasting, affordable, and simple to repair. For these reasons, it has remained a preferred wheel production material.
Aluminum is perhaps the most common material for wheels that we sell. It is lightweight, has great heat dissipation, and appears to have an infinite number of design variants, making it the material of choice for the majority of purchasers. Aluminum wheels can be made in a variety of methods, each with its own set of advantages.

The manufacturing process of some of the most common types of wheels is as under:

 

One-Piece Cast Wheels


A cast wheel is made by pouring molten aluminum into a mold. As it solidifies, the metal takes on the shape of the mold. Casting methods are classified into three types: low pressure/gravity, counter pressure, and high counter pressure moulding (HCM). In today's market, each strategy has a place. A wheel maker will choose a process based on the weight, strength, and finish specifications for that design. Naturally, more sophisticated and expensive processes result in lighter and stronger wheels, but at a larger cost.

 

Flow Formed Wheels

 

A Flow Formed wheel originates similarly to a cast wheel, with one noticeable exception in the barrel. The barrel is spun and heated before being crushed between steel rollers, which draw the rim to its ultimate width and shape. This results in a lighter and stronger rim than standard cast wheels, but without the cost of a forged wheel.

Forged / Billet Wheels

The terms "forged" and "billet" have become interchangeable. The production method, however, is known as forging, and the material used is a billet. A billet is a dense chunk of aluminum that is solid. The forge, a massive machine that applies thousands of pounds of pressure to the metal, crushes or rolls the billet into its basic form. This forging is then machined to completion. This method allows wheels to be produced with significantly less material. Because the procedure produces a considerably stronger wheel than other ways, this results in reduced weight and innovative shapes. American Racing Forged wheels are considered to be the top-tier wheels.

Multi-Piece Wheels

The procedures described above can be combined to create a wheel of specific strength and weight at a specific cost. Some wheels, for example, have a cast aluminum center soldered to a rolled outside surface (extruded aluminum rolled into a hoop). A billet center is welded to a rolled exterior in another sort of two-piece fabrication (extruded aluminum rolled into a hoop). Other wheels have a split outer surface that allows for adjustable widths and offsets. The final method is the three-piece structure. The center of this style of the wheel can be cast, billet, or forged, and is normally linked to the outside assembly by exposed or hidden bolts.
