The difference between forged wheel hub and original wheel hub is that different processes have different prices.

　　As the saying goes, "people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and the West Lake scenery is matched with foreign films." For a car, the size, style and material of the hub are different, which brings different visual feelings. Different wheels have great influence on safety, durability, light weight, heat dissipation and handling. Today, let’s talk about the difference between forged wheels and original wheels. As for which one is more suitable for you, let’s look down.

　　Casting technology is divided into gravity casting, low pressure casting and spinning casting. First, gravity casting is to pour liquid alloy into a mold and cool it; The second type, spinning casting, extends the hub structure by continuous rolling at a specific temperature and pressure. While ensuring the strength, the thickness of the used materials is effectively reduced, so as to obtain lighter self-weight.

　　Thirdly, low-pressure casting is to use low pressure to press liquid alloy into the mold, and a hub can be completed in a few minutes. The manufacturing process does not need manual operation, and the mold cost is high, which is suitable for mass production. This is also the choice of most OEMs, and the stability and accuracy of the products are better, which is also commonly known as the original wheel hub.

　　The original wheel hub is a wheel hub that comes standard in the factory. According to different configurations, wheels of different styles and sizes will be standard. The modeling style is redundant and single, and there is no personality at all, and it is heavier and has average strength. Some models of some luxury brands offer the choice of several original wheels to provide users with personalized matching. Of course, the cost is not low and the choices are not so rich.

　　As far as the current general trend is concerned, the main engine factory chooses casting wheels more, mainly because the manufacturing process is simple and suitable for mass production, the quality is guaranteed and the cost is relatively low. The main engine factory is very strict in cost control, and any parts should be planned well. In the global market, the cast wheel hub accounts for 80% of the global aluminum alloy wheel hub share, and it is still the main theme of wheel hub manufacturing at present.

　　Forged wheels are more common in refitting fields and competitions, and the manufacturing process is more complicated, which can meet the needs of different use scenarios. A heated alloy is pressed into a rough wheel hub blank by high pressure, and then processed twice by CNC. Compared with the original casting wheel hub, the forged wheel hub has higher strength, better safety, stronger plasticity and lighter weight. The performance in heat dissipation, fuel saving and control is also better, but the price is higher, the production cycle is longer, and it is more difficult to choose.

　　Forged wheels have higher strength and tighter structure, which can create more personalized, diverse and complex shapes. Even if there is no forged wheel hub suitable for your car on the market, it is ok to design a wheel hub that belongs to your car only if you spend the money in place.

　　Forged wheels are more durable, the strength of forged wheels is twice that of cast wheels, and stronger wheels can withstand stronger impact. It is superior to the cast wheel hub in toughness and fatigue resistance, and it is not easy to break when encountering extreme collision, which improves the driving safety.

　　Forged wheels of the same size are lighter, and cast wheels of the same size will weigh about 20%. Lighter wheels can make the suspension react faster, better cope with road changes and better reduce the feeling of bumps.

　　The quality of the wheel hub is reduced, so that the weight of the whole vehicle can be reduced, and at the same time, the fuel consumption can be better reduced. The heat dissipation effect is also better than that of cast wheels, which allows you to better protect the brakes and tires and prolong their service life when driving fiercely or long distances.

　　For many performance cars, forged wheels can bring better handling. On the premise of ensuring steering and normal driving, choosing a wider wheel hub can improve the sensitivity of vehicle acceleration, braking and cornering control.

　　Modifying the wheel hub is the first step for many people to contact the modification. Putting on a set of bright wheels can instantly improve the value of the car. You can start with big brands, such as BBS, OZ, ATS, RAYS, etc. When choosing, you need to pay attention to the wheel hub size, central aperture, pitch circle diameter, ET value and J value.

　　If you are worried about bad handling, you can also choose the original factory modification. For example, Mercedes-Benz can choose AMG series, BMW can choose M series, and Audi can choose RS series. Honda refit can find the royal Spoon and Mugen.

　　If limited by the budget, we can also look at domestic hub manufacturers, such as Fengtu, AC Anchi, Yafendi and other domestic brands, which have more reasonable prices and can customize cost-effective wheels.

　　Most people buy a car as a means of transportation, and the original wheel hub is enough to ensure daily use and does not generate additional costs. If you are keen on fierce driving or have great enthusiasm for modification, forging wheels may be more suitable for you. After all, a set of molds for casting wheels is very expensive, and the general factory will not accept your order as long as four. Forging wheel hub can better meet your personalized and small batch needs, but the cost is not low. Although it’s expensive, don’t touch the high imitation wheels or the wheels of small workshops. Everything is based on safety.
