OEM VS FORGED wheels

Do you know the difference ??

The automotive aftermarket is filled with a massive array of parts manufacturers, some of them much better than others. At AS we offer FORGED WHEELS & CAST REPLICA WHEELS

For aftermarket wheels, there are two major manufacturing processes: forged wheels and cast wheels.

Almost all cheaper wheels will use a “cast” design while high-end wheels, such as our AS FORGED RANGE , strictly using a “forged” design. Unfortunately, many enthusiasts do not understand the difference between a cast wheel and a forged wheel, and they end up purchasing something not-quite-right for their needs.

Cast Wheels ( OEM WHEELS ) ( Standard rims on  most vehicles from factory

A cast wheel is made by pouring molten aluminum into a mold where it is formed to the correct shape and sits there until it cools down. Once the wheel cools down, they perform trimming and drilling. Unfortunately, there is one massive flaw with this method of producing wheels: porosity. Porosity is the physical space inside the material once it has cooled, and it allows for weak points to form. The cheapest workaround for this problem is to use larger tolerances, ultimately making the wheel heavier. This method of wheel manufacturing is quick and cheap, allowing for mass production of cheap wheels.

AS FORGED WHEELS

There are two methods for making forged wheels: machine forging and mold-form forging. Nearly all forged wheels on the market use machine forging. This process takes a chuck of billet aluminum and subjects it to high temperature and tons of pressure which create a compressed structure which is much stronger than the original piece of billet. The large piece of forged aluminum is machine cut into the desired shape. This is the traditional process for building traditional forged wheels.
