How do I choose between monoblock, 2-piece and 3-piece forged wheels?

Choose by what you value most. Monoblock is one piece of metal — the lightest and stiffest, with the fewest parts to maintain. 2-piece separates centre from barrel, so one centre design can serve many widths and offsets — the flexible platform for shops and brands. 3-piece bolts together from centre, outer lip and inner barrel, so a damaged part can be replaced instead of the whole wheel and lip depth can be tuned. All three are machined from forged 6061-T6 blanks to an approved drawing.

Can different wheel types and sizes be mixed in one order?

Yes. The minimum order is 4 pcs — one set — and mixed sizes, widths and offsets are accepted within a single order. Staggered fitments, or a monoblock set alongside a 3-piece set, are normal orders rather than exceptions, since every wheel is machined individually to its own drawing.

What sizes do FLEXIFORGED forged wheels cover?

Car wheels run 15–26 inches in diameter and 5–16 inches in width across monoblock, 2-piece and 3-piece construction. Offset has no fixed published range — it is engineered per vehicle and stated on the drawing — and every centre bore is machined to the customer's actual hub, with no spigot rings. Motorcycle wheels are engineered per model as front-and-rear pairs.

Which forged wheel is the lightest?

Construction for construction, monoblock is the lightest aluminium wheel because it has no fasteners or joints. For the lowest mass outright, AZ80 forged magnesium goes further — magnesium runs around 1.80 g/cm³ against roughly 2.70 for aluminium — and is built as a coated, engineered product for weight-critical builds. Actual weight always depends on size and design, and is stated per wheel on the drawing.

Is every FLEXIFORGED wheel custom made?

Yes — there is no warehouse of finished wheels. Every order starts as a specification, becomes an engineering drawing with sizes, offset, centre bore and load rating, and is machined from a forged blank only after the customer approves that drawing. The nine ranges are engineering directions, not stock catalogs.

Forged Wheels: Nine Ranges, One Question — Which Door?

Every FLEXIFORGED range answers the same brief a different way: forged wheels machined from 6061-T6 blanks — AZ80 magnesium where the last kilogram matters — to a drawing you approve before anything is cut. This page exists to route you: nine ranges, sorted the four ways buyers actually think — by construction, by style, by duty, by material.

Which question are you asking?

“How should it be built?” — by construction

Monoblock

One billet, no joints — the lightest, stiffest way to make an aluminium wheel, and the fewest parts to ever worry about.

2-Piece

Centre and barrel made separately — one centre design serves many widths and offsets. The platform shops and brands build ranges on.

3-Piece

Centre, lip and barrel bolted together — kerb a lip, replace a lip. The construction you can service instead of replace.

“How should it look?” — by style

Concave

The dish is not ordered, it's earned — depth calculated from your width, offset and brake clearance, then cut from solid.

Deep Dish

Lip depth is a width-times-offset equation. We solve it per corner of your car and print the answer on the drawing.

“What must it survive?” — by duty

Off-Road & Beadlock

True mechanical beadlock or beadlock-style — declared honestly, specified for abuse, fixed on your drawing.

Rally

Gravel-spec 15" and 16" sizes the catalog world walked away from — small diameter, tall sidewall, built to be hit.

Motorcycle

The vehicle that feels everything — front and rear engineered as a pair, quoted per model rather than picked off a size chart.

“What should it be made of?” — by material

Magnesium

AZ80 at ~1.80 g/cm³ against aluminium's ~2.70 — the last-kilogram alloy, always shipped coated. 6061-T6 aluminium is the standard everywhere else.

Multi-piece wheel already in service? Replacement lips & barrels are supplied for ours and most other makers' wheels — and spacers & adapters are engineered on the same drawings as the wheels they sit behind.

All nine, side by side

FLEXIFORGED forged wheels — range comparison
Range	Construction	Best for	The signature fact
Monoblock	One piece	Performance builds chasing weight and stiffness	No fasteners, no joints — nothing to loosen, ever
2-Piece	Centre + barrel	Shops and brands running one design across many fitments	One centre file, many widths and offsets
3-Piece	Centre + lip + barrel	Builds that want serviceability and tunable lip depth	Replace the damaged part, not the wheel
Concave	Mono / multi-piece	Stance-led builds with real brake clearance maths	Depth engineered from width, ET and calipers
Deep Dish	Mostly 3-piece	Classic lips, VIP and show builds	Lip depth solved per corner as an equation
Off-Road & Beadlock	Mono / beadlock ring	Low-pressure off-road and expedition duty	True beadlock vs style — declared honestly
Rally	Monoblock	Gravel and stage cars needing 15–16" sizes	The sizes catalogs abandoned, built to be hit
Motorcycle	Monoblock pair	Riders — the vehicle that feels everything	Engineered per model, front and rear as one job
Magnesium	Monoblock, AZ80	Weight-critical track and collector builds	~1.80 g/cm³ — and always shipped coated

What's identical underneath all nine: a forged blank inspected before cutting · an engineering drawing — size, ET, CB, load rating — approved before production · car sizes 15–26" × 5–16" with CB machined to your actual hub, no spigot rings · every wheel inspected twice, 100% runout tested < 0.01", serial engraved · MOQ 4 pcs with mixed sizes in one order. Not sure of your numbers? The fitment guide shows how to measure them.

Choosing between ranges — FAQ

How do I choose between monoblock, 2-piece and 3-piece?

By what you value most: monoblock for the lightest, stiffest, simplest wheel; 2-piece when one centre design must serve many fitments; 3-piece when serviceability and tunable lip depth matter. All three are machined from forged 6061-T6 blanks to an approved drawing.

Can I mix types and sizes in one order?

Yes — MOQ is 4 pcs and mixed sizes, widths and offsets are accepted in a single order. Staggered sets, or a monoblock set alongside a 3-piece set, are normal orders: every wheel is machined individually to its own drawing.

What sizes are covered?

Cars: 15–26" diameter, 5–16" width, ET engineered per vehicle and stated on the drawing, CB machined to your actual hub — no spigot rings. Motorcycles: engineered per model as front-and-rear pairs.

Which wheel is the lightest?

Construction for construction, monoblock — no fasteners or joints. Outright, AZ80 forged magnesium goes further at ~1.80 g/cm³ versus aluminium's ~2.70. Actual weight depends on size and design and is stated per wheel on the drawing.

Is every wheel custom made?

Yes — there's no warehouse of finished wheels. Every order starts as a spec, becomes a drawing, and is machined from a forged blank only after you approve it. The nine ranges are engineering directions, not stock catalogs.
