Rays Wheels

Rays Wheels

Rays Wheels has been active in the world's highest level motor racing as well as in all types of races that go far beyond professional standards, for example, the F1 and GT1 World Championships. Rays have recently participated in car races in the USA and Europe, not restricting its activities to Japan alone.

Whether a sporty street-engine or a full-time racer is being designed, Rays Wheels delivers the required output from spirited engines. This wheel ranges from twin-spoke to multi-spoke wheels that are unbelievably light, but unbelievably durable to handle both circuit and traffic. Made from a single aluminum sheet. Currently, the R stands for RACE in their name so that they're always ready to drift or drive every day.

Staying at the forefront of car racing improvement is important for Rays because it allows them to remain competitive seriously above all else. Since every motor race participant makes every effort to gain, the spectators cannot be fooled, and Rays believe it can enhance the accuracy of their road wheels if they put their name on the line in a competition in which only the real deal is dominant.

Rays won titles in different car racing divisions, but winning isn't the only reason why they compete in automotive events. The goal is to prove the effectiveness of Rays' wheels by these victories, thus acquiring the knowledge and know-how that can be obtained only by taking part in one 10th of a second automotive race.

The limit between computer-based research and field research at wheel construction sites is nowadays almost irrelevant, with the former yielding almost identical results. That is why empirical evidence is the secret to success. Only data-based on experience can be used for computer-generated figures. They're nothing more than the results obtained through the machine filter. However, wheels that have already exceeded their limits can be rendered even lighter and tougher by using constantly updated data.

Rays Engineering

RAYS Co., Ltd. is an advanced Japanese wheel maker in motorsports as well as street use. They have high-tech forging processes specifically for Rays Engineering in their spokes.

They are the main wheel manufacturers for popular Nissan, Honda, Toyota, and Mazda factory racing teams such as Super GT, the Japanese Touring Car Championship (JTCC), the BTCC, the Formula D, and the Formula One. Rays' Volk Racing wheels are common among sports car owners and on race circuits, both small and import cars.

The Rays Engineering also makes wheels for the in-house tuning teams of car manufacturers like Nismo, Ralliart, STi, Mazdaspeed, and the Toyota Racing Development and supplying the Williams Formula One team with wheels as well as the Fast and Furious cars: the Tokyo Drift.

Two different methods are used to make Rays Engineering wheels: forge and casting. The wheel undergoes rigorous testing before it is packed and delivered after each wheel is manufactured.

Rays' 7-Step Forging Processes

  • Hot Forging: Takes an aluminum and produce metal lines with a hot press through volume distribution
  • RM Forging: Rays Engineering developed exclusively forging process. During this process, the planned parts are finished on the wheel
  • Cold Spinning: Size of the wheel is developed with a super-fast spinning machine throughout this process
  • Heat Treatment: Wheel is easily heated and refreshed instantly by a solution that creates a solid wheel structure
  • Machine Work: Specific trimming machine to strengthen wheel roundness
  • Shot Blast: This phase lightens the wheel's surface to prepare an aesthetic finish
  • Surface Finishing: Different chemicals are used to protect the wheel surface and avoid corrosion.

Advantage of Rays as a Spoke Wheel

The spokes on your Rays Wheels have the very important job of connecting the wheel's rim - outer diameter - to the plate at the center section of the wheel where the bolt holes and lugs connecting the wheel to the vehicle are kept. The spokes play a major part in deciding a wheel's total weight and strength. When designing and constructing a car, through Vivid Racing, Rays Wheels will ensure that the spokes on the wheels they are using provide adequate capacity when considering things like the weight of the car, the performance, and the size of the tires that will be used.

Lightweight Wheels

For nearly all types of vehicles, there is a wide variety of lightweight metal wheels on the market. The Rays wheels are one clear example of lightweight wheels. Consider your wheels lighter, and make the suspension even smoother. Each bump can be more readily and efficiently managed. It helps keep Rays Wheels and tires in contact with the asphalt for longer and is excellent news for vehicle stability and braking. Lightweight wheels are also easier to mount when replacing factory wheels. If you like a particular aftermarket wheel, then at least try to fit the weight of the stock wheel. If necessary it's easier to go lighter than stock.
