In car after market, the core of selecting forged wheel is to "adapt to the car model+meet the needs". For sedans, SUV, new energy vehicles, the differences in the characteristics determine vastly different standards for wheel hub selection. So how should different car models choose forged wheels?
Base on the core requirements, combined with parameters and scenarios, we provide below suggestion for customers to choose suitable Aluminum forged wheels.
Sedans are mainly used for daily commuting, and the selection should take into account "lightweight+comfort". On the basis of basic parameters, it is recommended to have a diameter of 16-19 inches, as excessive diameter may reduce the shock absorption effect. Family sedans can choose 17 inch forged wheels, with lightweight design to reduce fuel consumption, suitable for most compact and medium-sized cars; Sports sedans can try 18 inch 5-hole sports forged wheels, with ET35-45 offset to improve handling stability, and classic black and silver color matching for a more dynamic look. We recommend styles with moderate hollow out ratios for the spokes, which balance heat dissipation and aesthetics, and are suitable for daily use scenarios.
SUV need to cope with both urban and off-road road conditions, with the core being "high intensity+passability". The recommended size is 18-20 inches, with a width of 8.5-9.5J and wide tires to enhance grip. T6061-T6 high-strength aluminum alloy forged wheels are preferred as the material, with outstanding tensile strength and impact resistance, capable of handling off-road bumps. Hardcore off-road SUVs can choose ET 0-15 negative offset wheels to widen the wheelbase for greater stability; Urban SUVs are suitable for zero offset or small positive offset without affecting steering. Choose thick and sturdy spokes to reduce damage from sand and gravel impact, and choose dirt resistant black or gun gray colors.
The core demand for new energy vehicles is "low rolling resistance+lightweight" to extend the range. It is recommended to follow the original factory specifications of 17-19 inches to avoid affecting power tuning; Factory supplied low wind resistance forged wheels adopt aerodynamic design to reduce energy consumption and noise, which is the preferred choice. Choose ET40-50 for offset to ensure compatibility with the suspension, choose a style with strong closure for the spokes to reduce wind resistance and protect the brake system, and match the technology oriented positioning with light or contrasting color designs.
For forged wheel selecting, three key points should be noted: first, confirm that the parameters such as hole spacing (PCD) and center hole (CB) are consistent with the original vehicle to avoid installation hazards; The second is to select materials according to the scene, with emphasis on off-road strength and commuting weight; Thirdly, we should not blindly pursue larger sizes and prioritize ensuring stability. At the same time, it is necessary to choose products from reputable manufacturers and check the testing reports to ensure safety.
Choosing forged wheels for different car models is essentially about "precise matching of needs". Sedans prioritize comfort, SUV prioritize strength, supercar prioritize performance, and new energy vehicles prioritize endurance. Only by clearly defining core requirements and parameters, and then selecting styles based on aesthetic considerations, can the wheels enhance both aesthetics and practicality.
