Aerospace-Grade 6061-T6
Vossen Forged wheels begin with nothing but the finest raw materials, made in California. Every wheel is forged from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminum using a proprietary forging design for maximum strength and integrity.
Vehicle Optimized Aesthetics
Every car make and model has different parameters, clearances, and aesthetics. Utilizing our extensive measuring process and Vehicle Tailored Engineering, Vossen Forged wheels are optimized specifically for each vehicle.
Finishing Department
Vossen's manufacturing facilities include a wide array of finishing options, such as ceramic polishing, hand-brushing, and powder coating, all held to the highest standard of quality.
MANUFACTURING
Every Vossen Forged wheel is engineered, machined, and finished in-house, start to finish.
RAW MATERIAL
Material
Manufacturing the best wheels in the industry begins with nothing but the finest raw materials, made in California. Vossen Forged wheels are made of aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminum forged into a proprietary forging design. Heat-treated for additional integrity, these monoblock forgings yield quality equal to and sometimes greater than the raw materials used by the world's top OEM automakers.
STEP 01
Programming
Once engineered, each wheel's CAD model is programmed for machining using computer-aided manufacturing software (CAM). The program, or G-Code, is developed using CAM to guide each machine's tool paths while ensuring that the final wheel precisely matches what the engineered CAD model intended.
STEP 02
Initial Lathe Turning
The second step in manufacturing a forged wheel is lathe turning. The raw forging is lathe-turned inside, then flipped 180 degrees and turned outside, creating the rough profile of the final wheel. In this step over 70% of the original material is removed.
STEP 03
CNC Milling
In this phase of production the wheel's design is revealed while the CNC machines remove as little as 0.02" of material per pass to achieve the utmost precision. An array of exclusive and intricate milled features characterize the Precision Series, while other Vossen Forged series have similar details echoed throughout.
STEP 04
Lightening
Once the face design is complete, the wheel is rotated 180 degrees for additional milling. The lightening pockets are milled into the back pad of the wheel, shaving weight wherever possible.
STEP 05
Engraving
The specifications of each wheel, such as serial number, vehicle application, size, offset, and load rating, are engraved on the inboard lip, marking each new wheel as a genuine and individualized Vossen Forged product.
STEP 06
Final Lathe Turning
The last step of the machining process is the final inner and outer lathe turning, the most critical in achieving the highest overall precision. The wheel is centered within .001" of its spindle axis and all remaining excess material is removed. The final runout of the wheel after lathing will be less than .01" and the wheel's roundness is within the thickness of three sheets of paper overall.
STEP 07
Quality Control
Precision requires consistency and consistency requires control, which is why Vossen meticulously inspects every wheel during every step of the process. Vossen machinists conduct inspections on every wheel to ensure precision before proceeding to the next step. Runout, a measurement of a rotating wheel's roundness, is the most critical measurement, and every wheel is checked to confirm that runout is within tolerance.
STEP 08
Finishing
Vossen's in-house finishing facility utilizes state-of-the-art equipment to produce only the highest quality finishes. From ceramic polishing to powder coating, all Vossen Forged wheels maintain industry-leading quality by monitoring every step of the process with the utmost scrutiny.
FINISHING PROCESS
A closer look inside the finishing facility — from hand prep to final inspection.
STEP 09
Hand Prep
To achieve the highest quality finish, each wheel is hand-sanded and deburred after machining. Wheels receiving a brushed finish undergo an extended hand-sanding process, taking up to five hours each, to produce an even, brushed facade throughout the wheel.
STEP 10
Brushing & Polishing
The most time-consuming-yet-rewarding part of the finishing process is brushing and polishing. Offered as upgrade options in every Vossen Forged line, brushed wheels reveal the beauty in the forged aluminum grain while full ceramic polishing creates a mirror-like finish.
STEP 11
Pre-Treatment
After hand prep, all wheels undergo a 7-stage pre-treatment cleansing process to remove any impurities prior to powder coating.
STEP 12
Powder Coating
Vossen's in-house powder coating facility has been developed specifically for handling wheels, utilizing state-of-the-art components and the highest quality powders.
STEP 13
Final Visual Inspection
After powder coating is complete, a final inspection is conducted. While the obvious inspection includes the quality and consistency of the finish's aesthetic, a film thickness gauge is also used to ensure that the powder coat is uniform in thickness.
