Application Overview
Parts and selection points for Custom Wheels & Car Tuning
Wheel brands, tuning shops and importers of performance parts serve owners of luxury and sports cars, such as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class W222, who want lighter, better-looking wheels. Forged and flow-formed wheels have to look right and also meet fitment and safety rules in the target market. These buyers focus on custom sizes and finishes, accurate PCD/ET/CB specs, and certifications like DOT, TUV or VIA.
- Choose one-piece forged 6061-T6 wheels for the best strength-to-weight ratio on high-performance and luxury cars.
- Specify diameter (12-24 inch forged, 13-22 inch cast), PCD, ET and CB for each vehicle so the wheel fits without spacers or hub rings.
- Confirm which wheel models carry DOT, TUV, VIA or CE certification before importing into North America or Europe.
- Order brake discs to match larger wheel and caliper setups so the wheel clears the caliper and the system performs as intended.
