Forged Wheels
Forged wheels are made from a solid block of aluminium shaped under very high pressure, giving strong, light wheels.
What is Forged Wheels?
They are lighter and stronger than most cast alloy wheels. They are used on performance and premium cars. They cost more to make.
How it works
Forging aligns the metal grain structure, so less material is needed for the same strength.
Why it matters for your car
Repairs should only be done by specialists familiar with forged wheels. Lighter wheels reduce unsprung weight but are still damaged by hard kerb strikes.
