About Wheel Production Methods
There are several different
ways BMW rims are made, each offering there own special
advantages. The most popular types of wheel production methods
are: gravity casting, low pressure casting, Flow-forming, and
forged. Below you will find an explanation of each production
method to see which type of BMW rims are best suited towards your
BMW's particular needs.
Gravity
Cast BMW Rims
Gravity casting wheels is the simplest way to make a
rim, and offers a relatively cheap cost when compared to a
flow-formed or forged wheel. During this process molten aluminum
or an alloy is poured into a mold and simply uses earth's
gravity to form the shape and design of the wheel. Since gravity
is the only force used in production, the material will not be
as dense as a low pressure cast wheel (or higher) and requires
more metal to achieve the same structural strength, meaning the
wheel will weigh more than a wheel produced in any other
process.
Low Pressure Cast BMW Rims
Low pressure
cast wheels use virtually the same process as gravity cast wheel
with the addition of positive pressure to allow for a higher
density within the wheel, which translates into less wheel
weight. Low pressure cast wheels generally cost slightly more
than gravity cast wheels, and is the most popular production
method in use today.
Flow-Formed
BMW Rims
Flow form casting is a production
procedure that turns the wheel (or rim section) over a special
mandrel and three hydraulic rollers using tremendous pressure.
The pressure and turning then forces the rim area to form
against the mandrel, creating the shape and width of the rim.
During flow forming, the rim actually "flows" down to create the
full rim width. During this, pressure applied to the cast rim
actually changes its mechanical properties, so its strength and
impact values become similar to those of a forged rim. That
translates to up to 15% less weight when compared to a standard
cast rim.
Forged BMW Rims
A wheel that is made using a forging method is the
strongest, lightest, and typically the most durable when
compared to a wheel made using any other production methods.
During this process aluminum is shaped using extreme pressure,
which translates into a very high strength rim. Since making a
forged wheel require very specialized machined forged wheels
often command a much higher aftermarket price than BMW wheels made
in any other type of method.
