OUR TECHNOLOGY
The forging process used by iForged USA to produce two piece and three wheels results in the highest quality wheel for trucks and automobiles. This process is the result of forging and machining know how developed over 35 years of experience producing forged parts for aerospace and commercial applications.
35 years of forging know-how is used to produce the grain direction that
provides optimum strength for each specific wheel configuration. This
results in the best combination of high strength and light weight for
each customer application. These applications include road racing, track
racing, off road desert racing, cross-country cruising, or just relaxing
on city streets, local highways or autobahns. The common threads in all
of these driving modes are vehicles that provide our customers with superior
performance. iForged supports these applications with forged wheels that
enhance vehicle performance. And of course all iForged wheels have "show
winning looks and race winning performance."
The forging process, using high pressure and temperature, changes the
non-directional grain structure of cast aluminum starting material to
the high integrity multi-directional grain structure of forgings. The
aluminum remains solid throughout the process as the forging dies come
together and change the shape of the round bar to the cylindrical shape
of the wheel. This forging preform is then placed in a custom built spin
forging machine to forge the rim section.
The resulting radial grain direction places the highest material strength
in the same direction as the operating loads. The bottom line is premium
strength. Then computer controlled lathes and milling machines are used
to achieve the final configuration. iForged Wheels have the additional
benefit of adding a polished mirror finish. This can be achieved because
of the high integrity of the metallic structure produced by the forging
process.
Once the center and rim outers are completed, the final wheel is assembled
at iForged USA's facility in Southern California. True to iForged's commitment
to quality, the rim outers and center are a precision fit, both pieces
fit perfectly before being bolted together. All wheels are then checked
for runout and concentricity before being shipped out.
Xtreme Fit Technology allows iForged to provide extreme fitments to our customers custom requests and their unique vehicles.
iForged was one of the original innovators of Deep Dish technology, and now specialize in producing custom wide lip sizes ranging in 1” to a show stopping 7” lip.
