When you dive into the world of car modifications, the first upgrade on your list should definitely be a set of aftermarket wheels. There’s just no comparison between those factory wheels and the stunning, high-performance options available today. If you want your ride to look as good as it performs, you need quality wheels—and quality rhymes with VR Forged!
Why Forged Wheels?
Before we unveil our latest VR Forged designs, let’s talk about why investing in forged wheels is essential. When shopping for wheels, you’ll encounter three main manufacturing processes: cast, flow-forged, and forged.
- Cast Wheels: While these are often the most affordable, cast wheels are heavier and generally weaker, making them less ideal for performance vehicles.
- Flow-Forged Wheels: These are a step up, combining both casting and forging techniques. Although they offer better performance than cast wheels, they still can’t match the strength and weight savings of forged options.
- Forged Wheels: This is where the magic happens! Forged wheels are crafted from a solid block of aluminum that undergoes a 10,000-ton press to compact the metal, resulting in an extremely lightweight and incredibly strong wheel. The benefits are clear: lighter wheels lead to improved handling and performance, making forged wheels a no-brainer for serious car enthusiasts.
