Situation
Our client, a reputable automotive tuning shop in Canada, approached us with a request to provide a set of custom forged wheels for a 2019 Audi e-tron. The client was focused on achieving a perfect balance of performance and aesthetics, while ensuring that the wheels fit seamlessly with the vehicle’s specifications.
The goal was to deliver high-quality, custom-made wheels that could enhance the Audi e-tron’s appearance while improving its handling and performance on the road. Our client was particularly interested in a sleek, modern design that would complement the vehicle’s electric powertrain and its high-tech, futuristic look.
Specifications for the custom forged wheels:
- Diameter: 22×9.5J
- Width: Customized as required
- CB: 66.6
- ET: Customized as required
- H-PCD: 5×112
- Color: Gloss black
- Fitment: 2019 Audi e-tron
With these requirements in mind, we worked closely with our client to ensure every detail was addressed. The wheels had to offer strength, durability, and an enhanced aesthetic appeal—all while keeping in mind the specific needs of the Audi e-tron.
Task
The task was to design, engineer, and manufacture a set of wheels that would perfectly fit the Audi e-tron while meeting the client’s specifications. The wheels had to be not only visually striking but also lightweight and robust, which is essential for electric vehicles like the Audi e-tron. The challenge was to create a solution that would provide both style and performance, as the client demanded high customization levels.
Furthermore, it was important that the wheels match the vehicle’s performance characteristics. Since the Audi e-tron is an electric vehicle, minimizing weight without sacrificing strength was crucial. Additionally, the client requested that the wheels have a high gloss black finish, which would give the car a clean, polished look.
To ensure that the custom forged wheels met the client’s precise needs, we provided them with 3D renderings of the design for approval before proceeding with the manufacturing process. This step allowed the client to visualize how the wheels would look on the Audi e-tron and suggest any necessary adjustments.
Action
Once the design was approved, we began the manufacturing process.
- Design Approval: We sent the client three 3D rendering images showing the proposed wheel design on the Audi e-tron. This allowed them to visualize the wheels and confirm that everything aligned with their expectations. Upon receiving feedback, we made necessary adjustments to ensure the fitment and aesthetic were perfect.
- Manufacturing Process: After finalizing the design, we began crafting the custom forged wheels. The process included the following steps:
- Forging: The forged blanks were sourced from specialized factories, ensuring that the base material was of the highest quality for strength and durability.
- Precision Machining: Using advanced CNC machinery, including 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis machines, we precisely machined the wheels to the required dimensions.
- Surface Finishing: The wheels were finished with a high gloss black coating. This glossy, sleek finish would provide excellent corrosion resistance and add a modern touch to the wheels. The finish also helped maintain their visual appeal over time, ensuring they remained in top condition for the client.
- Quality Control: Each wheel was carefully inspected to ensure that it met our stringent quality control standards. This included checking for any imperfections, confirming fitment, and ensuring that the wheels would deliver both performance and aesthetics as promised.
Throughout the entire process, we maintained clear and timely communication with the client, providing updates on the progress and ensuring they were happy with the work at each stage. Once the wheels were ready, we sent the client three images of the finished product for final approval.
Result
The final product exceeded the client’s expectations, both in terms of design and performance. The custom forged wheels for the 2019 Audi e-tron were not only visually striking but also lightweight and durable, offering enhanced handling and a smooth driving experience.
- Aesthetic Appeal: The gloss black finish complemented the modern and sleek design of the Audi e-tron. The wheels’ clean lines and high-quality finish gave the car an elegant yet sporty look that perfectly matched the electric vehicle’s futuristic design.
- Performance: The custom forged wheels were designed to improve the vehicle’s performance without compromising strength. By reducing weight, they enhanced the Audi e-tron’s handling and driving dynamics, contributing to a more responsive driving experience.
- Client Satisfaction: The client was very pleased with the final result. They appreciated the attention to detail and the smooth communication throughout the entire process. The wheels not only met but surpassed their expectations in both aesthetics and performance. The product was exactly what they had envisioned for their client’s Audi e-tron.
