What are the advantages and disadvantages of forged wheels?

Forged hubs are hubs manufactured by forging, which can remove internal pores and cracks to the greatest extent possible. And form of multiple forging is often used, which can ensure the removal of material defects in all aspects, increase the internal stress of the material, the toughness will be better, and the impact resistance and tear resistance at high speed can be greatly improved.

The advantages of forged wheels are high strength, higher safety factor, strong plasticity, and at the same time lighter weight, better heat dissipation capacity, and fuel saving. At the same time, forged wheels are also the most advanced wheel manufacturing methods. The strength of such wheels is about 1 to 2 times greater than that of cast wheels, and 4 to 5 times that of most iron wheels. and fatigue strength is basically significantly stronger than the cast wheel hub, not easy to smash and break. The only disadvantage is that it is expensive and has a long production cycle.

In addition, riders must not choose large rims casually when upgrading rims, and at the same time choose the shape of the wheel and take into account the weight of the hub. If you upgrade the large-sized wheels just for the sake of appearance and increase the corresponding weight at the same time, this will inevitably affect the fuel consumption of the entire car. In addition, it is best to choose a wheel with the simpler structure as much as possible. Such a wheel is more convenient and quick to clean. If a wheel with a complex structure is used, the car shop may refuse to wash it or increase the price.
