WHEELS TESTS

1) Before starting the production, wheels had to pass strict German TÜV Rheinland tests :

• impact test simulates the impact : a wheel is hit with a heavy load (from 675kg to 725kg)
• shorttime and longtime bending tests : pressure is applied while cornering(from 675kg to 725kg)
• rolling test : while being rolled for 2000 km pressure is applied (from 675kg to 725kg)

*weights depending of the wheel type

2) Before being sent out to our customers, each wheel is checked for cracks or structural problems :

• X-ray test 
• Leak test - 100%
• Run-out test - 100%
• Balance test - 100%

PRODUCTION

After arriving to the factory each batch of aluminum has to pass spectral quality check.
The aluminum is heated and pressed (up to 2 bars of pressure) into the multi part mold.
After cooling it down to 390° Celsius, the mold is opened and the casting blank is ready
for additional treatment by the automatic heat machines.
