Forged wheels are currently the most advanced method of manufacturing aluminum wheels. Its most prominent advantages are high strength, higher safety, strong plasticity, light weight, good heat dissipation, and fuel saving.
1. Rugged and safer
Forged aluminum ring is 1-2 times stronger than cast aluminum ring and 4-5 times that of general iron ring, so it is stronger and more resistant to impact, toughness and fatigue strength are also significantly better than cast wheels, not easy to crush and break, and more secure powerful.
2. Lightweight and more fuel-efficient
Compared with casting, a forged wheel of the same size can be about 20% lighter in weight, and 1KG lighter on the wheel can increase 10 horsepower. In addition, the light weight also makes the suspension response speed significantly improved, the suspension system has a faster response speed, and it is naturally easier to deal with potholes on the road.
3. Fuel saving and good heat dissipation performance
According to Japanese experiments, for every 1kg reduction in weight of a 5-seater car, about 20L of gasoline a year can be saved. A research report published by the American Society of Automotive Engineers pointed out that although forged wheels are more expensive than ordinary cast wheels, in the long run, cars will reach The cost can be recovered within 30,000 kilometers. In addition, the forged wheels have better heat dissipation effect, which can prevent the brake drum and tires from aging during long-distance high-speed driving, increase the life span, and reduce the risk of tire blowouts.
4. Better control performance
Upgrade the forged wheels without affecting the steering and loading. If the width of the wheels is increased, the sensitivity of the vehicle in acceleration, braking and corners will be significantly improved, whether it is from standstill to starting, or accelerating during driving. Brisk, the vehicle will be comfortable regardless of whether it is entering or exiting a bend.
