Forged wheels are everything these days. We see them all the time, and you’ve only got to know a car fan to have probably heard about them. They look great. They run great. And they just bring to life the style and aesthetic of any car they’re mounted on.
But the question is, are they right for your car?
To help make this decision, we’re looking at five of the best reasons why forged wheels are absolutely right for your car and why they may actually be what you’ve been looking for.
Enhanced Durability and Strength
No one denies that durability and strength are non-negotiable in a top-performing vehicle, and forged wheels excel in both.
Manufactured from a solid piece of aluminum under immense pressure, the resulting dense structure offers you a robust and resilient wheel.
Why is this important?
A stronger wheel can handle road bumps and debris far better than traditional tires, reducing potential wheel damage and reducing repair costs.
This kind of durability also provides an additional layer of safety. In the event of a collision, a stronger wheel is less likely to break or warp, minimizing the risk of a tire blowout.
It doesn’t matter what kind of road you throw your car onto; you’ll enjoy far better handling of everyday driving challenges and enhanced safety — all coming together to create a more confident and enjoyable driving experience.
Weight Advantage
One of our favorite benefits of a forged wheel – the weight advantage.
By design, forged wheels are way lighter than their cast counterparts, all without sacrificing durability.
And guess what?
A reduction in unsprung weight, the weight of your wheels not supported by your vehicle’s suspension, can significantly improve various driving aspects.
That enhances handling and responsiveness, given there’s less inertia to overcome when steering and maneuvering. This also means better fuel economy since there’s less weight and, therefore, a reduced workload for the engine.
On top of this, a lighter wheel positively impacts acceleration and stopping distance, potentially keeping you safer on the road.
That’s a lot of wins for one benefit.
Plenty of Customization Options
Here at ATA Wheels, we like to think about your wheels as more than just functional components. Instead, they present an opportunity for personal expression, setting your vehicle apart from the crowd and helping you enjoy your car exactly how you want it.
With forged wheels, customization reaches a new height.
Since forged wheels start as solid aluminum, they can be crafted into virtually any design imaginable. And hey, this is what we do for a living, and you literally have free reign with whatever you want.
And this doesn’t just fly for your own personal car.
As a business owner, especially in an industry where vehicle appearance impacts perception, the ability to customize your wheels offers a way to create a unique brand image and differentiate your company’s vehicles.
For instance, food trucks, delivery vans, or taxis can notably benefit from distinctive wheel styles. Uniquely customized wheels can help your business stand out in saturated markets and create a memorable impression among your potential customers.
All from customizing your wheels your way.
Better Heat Dissipation
On a more technical level, forged wheels are superior for their heat dissipation properties.
While driving, braking generates substantial heat, especially at high speeds or when navigating downhill roads.
Over time and with excess heat, you may experience brake fade, a pretty undesirable scenario where brakes lose efficiency due to overheating, resulting in reduced vehicle control.
Improved heat dissipation—where the heat spreads out and dissipates quickly—can mitigate this risk.
Due to their denser aluminum construction, forged wheels exhibit a high thermal conductivity; hence, they efficiently dissipate heat generated from the braking system.
This safeguards your brakes and contributes to a smoother, safer driving experience!
Increased Resale Value of Your Vehicle
And finally, while we’ve focused on all the immediate benefits, such as enhanced performance and aesthetic appeal, can forged wheels also have a long-term impact?
Quite simply, yes, particularly regarding the resale value of your vehicle.
Let’s dig into this.
Expect potential buyers to not only look at the mechanical condition of vehicles but also the quality and attractiveness of the wheels.
Forged wheels, with their high-end look and reputation for durability, often garner a significantly more positive response than standard wheels.
Essentially, a vehicle equipped with forged wheels communicates a sense of premium quality and attention to detail that adds to its perceived value.
Therefore, by investing in forged wheels, you’re also potentially boosting your vehicle’s future resale or trade-in value.
This can often offset part, if not all, of the upfront investment of the wheels themselves.
So not only are forged wheels a wise investment for the present, but they could also provide financial benefits down the road when it’s time to sell your vehicle.
