Advanced Processing - The Key to Our Success

In December 2003, we purchased two sets of flow forming machinery. After extensive study we are proud to announce that the one-piece flow forming wheel has been successfully produced to meet all standards. We have researched and developed the two piece rim shells.

We are proud to introduce our new spun forged type one-piece seamless, lightweight rim shell for the custom wheel industry.

Rim tooling has been completed and production sizes will range between 20 x 8.5 through 22 x 11. Rims have various lip depths, up to 5 inches. Other sizes will be soon available, ranging between 19 and 24 inches. These will have a two-year guarantee on the chrome and a lifetime guarantee on workmanship and materials.

Consider the weight chart below; by using more of the raw metal in each wheel we have significantly less waste. We pass this savings on to the distributor.
