Explore Our Technical Topics
1️⃣ Forging Process Explained
Learn how solid aluminum and magnesium billets are transformed into high-strength forged wheels.
The process involves multi-ton forging pressure, T6 heat treatment, and 5-axis CNC machining, resulting in exceptional structural density and precision fitment.
Unlike casting, forging realigns the metal grain, dramatically increasing toughness and reducing weight.
That’s why every FLEXIFORGED wheel offers both strength and agility.
2️⃣ Material Standards & Properties
FLEXIFORGED primarily uses 6061-T6 forged aluminum and AZ80 magnesium alloy.
6061-T6 offers the ideal balance of strength, ductility and corrosion resistance for daily and performance use.
AZ80 magnesium provides an ultra-light structure, reducing unsprung mass by up to 25% — perfect for racing or EV applications.
We also offer 7075-T6 for special motorcycle wheel projects where maximum tensile strength is required, though it’s less common in wheel production.
3️⃣ Wheel Structure & Design
Forged wheels come in multiple configurations: Monoblock, 2-piece, and 3-piece.
Each structure serves different goals — Monoblock for precision and strength, 2-piece for flexibility and offset tuning, 3-piece for aesthetic customization.
FLEXIFORGED designs every wheel with a balance between aerodynamics, brake clearance, and visual harmony.
4️⃣ Fitment Terminology Guide
Wheel fitment is all about perfect geometry: PCD, offset (ET), width, and center bore.
Misunderstanding these values can cause vibration or brake interference.
This guide helps you easily interpret measurements and ensure exact compatibility for any vehicle platform.
5️⃣ Manufacturing Process Overview
Every FLEXIFORGED wheel passes through nine precision-controlled stages:
forging → heat treatment → CNC machining → drilling → deburring → surface finishing → coating → quality inspection → packaging.
From billet to final wheel, we track and record every process to guarantee consistency and compliance with ISO 9001 standards.
6️⃣ Testing & Certification Standards
Our wheels are tested to international standards including JWL, VIA, and ISO 9001:2015.
Tests include impact, radial fatigue, and bending fatigue, ensuring structural integrity under the harshest conditions.
7️⃣ Installation & Torque Guide
Proper installation ensures long-term performance and safety.
Use a torque wrench, tighten in a star pattern, and re-check torque after 100 km of driving.
View our torque chart and installation tips to prevent over-tightening or hub stress.
8️⃣ Maintenance & Refinishing
Forged wheels are easy to maintain when properly cared for.
Clean using pH-neutral cleaners, avoid acidic solutions, and wax polished surfaces to maintain shine.
Learn how to safely refinish or repair damaged wheels without compromising structure.
