CUSTOM FORGED WHEELS GUIDE — EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE ORDERING
Learn everything about custom forged wheels, including how they differ from cast wheels, how the forging process works, and how to choose the perfect setup for your car.
1. Custom Forged vs Cast Wheels Explained
Forged wheels are made from a single block of aluminum that’s compressed under thousands of tons of pressure.
This process creates a denser structure, giving you stronger, lighter, and more precise wheels than traditional cast ones.
In contrast, cast wheels are produced by pouring molten aluminum into a mold — a quicker, cheaper method that often sacrifices strength and consistency.
Diagram: Forged vs Cast Wheel Process
| Feature | Forged Wheel | Cast Wheel |
|---|---|---|
| Manufacturing Process | Solid aluminum block pressed under high pressure | Molten aluminum poured into a mold |
| Strength | Extremely high — dense structure | Moderate — more porous |
| Weight | Lightweight | Heavier |
| Precision | CNC-machined to exact fitment | Mold-limited accuracy |
| Durability | Long-lasting, crack-resistant | Prone to fatigue |
| Cost | Premium investment | More affordable |
2. Why Choose Custom Forged Wheels
A custom forged wheel isn’t just about looks — it’s about engineering perfection.
✅ Perfect Fitment – Built precisely for your car’s bolt pattern, offset, and brake setup.
✅ Lightweight Performance – Less unsprung weight = better handling and braking.
✅ Unique Finish – Fully customizable color, texture, and design.
✅ Signature Style – No two builds are ever the same.
3. The RVRN Forging Process
Every wheel is crafted from start to finish with precision and passion.
Step 1: Consultation & Design
Our engineers create a 3D CAD model tailored to your vehicle and driving style.
Step 2: Forging & CNC Machining
Using aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminum, we apply 8,000 tons of pressure before precision CNC cutting each spoke and detail.
Step 3: Finishing & Inspection
Polishing, anodizing, brushing — every finish is hand-applied and inspected for perfection.
Step 4: Shipping Worldwide
Each set is packed securely and shipped globally.
4. How to Choose the Right Custom Forged Wheel Fitment
Choosing the right custom forged wheel fitment ensures perfect stance, brake clearance, and performance.
Here’s a quick fitment breakdown 👇
Wheel Fitment Quick Reference
| Spec | Meaning | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Diameter (in) | Wheel height | Affects tire sidewall, visual proportion |
| Width (in) | Wheel width | Wider = better grip & stance |
| Offset (ET) | Distance between hub & wheel centerline | Determines how “flush” the wheel sits |
| PCD (Bolt Pattern) | Number & spacing of bolts (e.g. 5x114.3) | Must match hub pattern |
| Center Bore (CB) | Hub hole diameter | Ensures vibration-free fit |
| Brake Clearance | Space for caliper fitment | Critical for big brake setups |
Pro Tip:
RVRN engineers calculate all fitment specs to match your exact car — ensuring perfect stance and zero rubbing.
