Material | High-performance vehicles, racing | Forged 6061-T6 Aluminum Alloy (ASTM E8: 45,000 psi tensile strength) | ▲▲▲ 40% stronger than cast aluminum (Industry Standard: 30,000 psi) | Higher cost due to forging process |
Weight | Performance driving, fuel efficiency | 15 lbs per wheel (ISO 3833: 20% lighter than cast wheels) | ▲▲ Improves acceleration and handling by reducing unsprung mass | Limited availability in budget-tier models |
ET Value Flexibility | Custom fitment for modified vehicles | 11 ET options (vs Industry Standard: 3–5 options) | ▲▲ Enables precise alignment for diverse vehicle setups | Requires advanced installation expertise |
PCD Compatibility | Cross-vehicle compatibility | 13 PCD configurations (Industry Standard: 8–10 configurations) | ▲▲▲ Fits 30% more vehicle models (e.g., SUVs, sedans, trucks) | Higher complexity in inventory management for retailers |
Certifications | Global regulatory compliance | DOT FMVSS, JWL (Advanced Tier) | ▲▲ Meets U.S. and Japanese safety standards (Industry Standard: DOT only) | Advanced tiers require additional cost for certification testing |
Noise Reduction | Luxury vehicles, urban driving | 40 dBA road noise (ISO 3381: 10 dB quieter than cast wheels) | ▲▲▲ Reduces cabin noise to "library-level quietness" (Industry: 50 dBA+) | Floating design adds manufacturing complexity, increasing production time |
Diameter Options | Aesthetic customization | 20–26 inch sizes (Industry Standard: 16–22 inches) | ▲▲▲ Accommodates oversized tire trends for trucks/SUVs | Larger diameters may compromise ground clearance |
Corrosion Resistance | Coastal or harsh environments | Salt Spray Test: 1,000 hours (ASTM B117) | ▲▲ 2x longer lifespan than galvanized steel (Industry Standard: 500 hours) | Requires periodic polishing to maintain anodized finish |
