How a Rimax Wheel Is Made: Ingot to Export Pallet
Understanding the process helps you compare suppliers on facts, not photos. These are the eight stages every Rimax cast wheel passes through before it is cleared for shipment.
- 01
Melting & Degassing
A356.2 aluminum ingots are melted, refined and degassed to minimize hydrogen porosity before casting.
- 02
Low-Pressure Casting
Molten alloy fills the mold from below under controlled pressure, producing dense, uniform spokes and rim flanges.
- 03
X-Ray Inspection
Radiographic checks reveal internal shrinkage or porosity in critical zones such as the hub pad and spoke roots.
- 04
T6 Heat Treatment
Solution treatment, quenching and artificial aging raise tensile and yield strength for long-term fatigue life.
- 05
CNC Machining
Hub face, bolt holes, center bore and bead seats are machined to tight tolerances for true running and balance.
- 06
Surface Finishing
Pre-treatment, powder primer, color and clear coats, with diamond-cut, brushed, polished or chrome options.
- 07
Performance Testing
Radial fatigue, cornering fatigue, 13° impact and air-leak tests are carried out following JWL / VIA test items.
- 08
Packing & Export
Cartons, foam protection and palletizing with your branding, prepared for FCL or LCL shipment worldwide.
Tested to Global Wheel Standards
Strength you cannot see is the part that matters most. Our quality system combines material control, in-line inspection and destructive testing so importers can register and sell with confidence.
Controlled Casting & Machining
Every batch is traceable from alloy lot to finished wheel, giving you documented quality for each container.

Kipardo Warranty
Every Kipardo wheel carries a 5-year / 100,000 km structural warranty and a 2-year warranty on all paint and chrome finishes.
Cast vs. Flow-Formed vs. Forged: Which Fits Your Market?
Choosing the right process determines your margin, your warranty exposure and how fast product sells. Use this comparison to plan a range that covers every price tier.
| Criteria | Cast Wheel | Flow-Formed Wheel | Forged Wheel |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manufacturing | Low-pressure casting of A356.2 alloy, T6 heat treated | Cast center; barrel spun and pressure-rolled under heat | Billet forged under high tonnage, then fully CNC machined |
| Typical weight vs. cast | Baseline | Typically 10–15% lighter | Typically 20–30% lighter |
| Strength & fatigue | Meets JWL / VIA test items for road use | Higher barrel strength from refined grain structure | Highest strength-to-weight ratio |
| Unit cost | Most competitive | Mid-range | Premium |
| Design flexibility | Mold-based; best for volume SKUs | Mold-based with lighter barrel | Custom sizes, offsets and finishes per order |
| Best for | Wholesale, replica & aftermarket retail | Enthusiast retail, SUV & performance upgrades | Luxury, motorsport & bespoke builds |
Figures are typical industry ranges. Final weight, load rating and cost depend on wheel size, design and fitment.
