1. The Forged Wheel Advantage: Engineering Excellence
What Makes ASM Forged Wheels Different?
Forged wheels are manufactured under extreme hydraulic pressure, compressing aluminium alloy into a denser, stronger structure than cast or flow-formed wheels.
Key Benefits of Forged Wheels
- 3x Stronger – Withstands impacts without cracking (critical for potholes & track use).
- 25% – 30% Lighter – Reduces unsprung weight for better acceleration and handling.
- Precision Machining – Tighter tolerances for perfect balance and fitment.
Why it matters:
Unlike cast wheels, which can fracture under stress, forged wheels maintain structural integrity for decades.
ASM’s Forging Process: How It Works
1. Billet Selection – High-grade 6061-T6 or 7075-T6 aerospace aluminium.
2. Hot Forging – 10,000+ tons of pressure for maximum grain density.
3. CNC Machining – Laser-cut for exact specs (offset, hub bore, spoke design).
4. Finishing – Multi-stage coatings (powder coat, chrome, brushed) for corrosion resistance.
Performance Benefits: Why Racers & Enthusiasts Choose ASM
A. Faster Acceleration & Improved Handling
– Lighter weight = less rotational mass → quicker throttle response.
B. Enhanced Cornering & Stability
– Reduced unsprung weight improves suspension compliance.
– Motorsport teams use forged wheels for consistent grip at high speeds.
C. Better Braking & Heat Dissipation
– Forged aluminium dissipates heat 40% faster than cast wheels.
– Prevents brake fade during aggressive driving.
