Explore our precision-machined cast, flow-formed, and custom forged wheel solutions manufactured strictly to JWL, VIA, SAE J2530, and ISO 3006 protocols for worldwide export delivery.
As hypercar powertrains exceed 1,500 horsepower and electric vehicle curb weights push beyond 2.5 metric tons due to battery pack mass, automotive rotational dynamics encounter physical limits with conventional aluminum alloys.
Unsprung weight reduction delivers a 4x to 6x multiplier in dynamic road responsiveness. Custom forged titanium and hybrid titanium-aluminum wheel assemblies radically diminish polar moment of inertia, enabling instantaneous damper response and razor-sharp steering feedback in extreme G-load track cornering.
Under carbon-ceramic braking operating at temperatures exceeding 800°C, forged 6061-T6 aluminum loses tensile yield beyond 180°C. Forged Grade 5 Titanium (Ti-6Al-4V) retains 85% of its structural rigidity at 400°C, preventing thermal rim run-out and spoke deflection during competitive endurance racing cycles.
Unlike cast or forged magnesium wheels which are prone to violent galvanic corrosion and brittle cracking when exposed to road salts, titanium forms an instantaneous self-healing titanium dioxide (TiO2) passive oxide layer. It remains entirely inert to magnesium chlorides, marine salt-fog, and harsh brake cleaning solvents.
As a strategic international manufacturing company and exporter founded in 2010, Shanghai Rimax Industry Co., Ltd. bridges high-volume low-pressure casting, flow-forming, aerospace 6061-T6 aluminum forging, and bespoke titanium machining into a cohesive B2B delivery ecosystem.

International trade in high-performance automotive running gear demands flawless paperwork, strict bilateral customs tariff compliance, and third-party laboratory verification before containers leave Kunshan port.
All Rimax and Kipardo production lines operate under strict Japanese Vehicle Inspection Association (VIA) and JWL standards. Destructive tests including 13° impact, dynamic cornering fatigue, and dynamic radial fatigue are executed in-house with registered test serial numbers.
For European Union distributors, wheels are engineered to comply with strict dimensional run-out, spoke back-spacing for big brake kits (BBK), structural cyclic bending criteria, and clear-coat resistance against salt brine in alignment with German KBA requirements.
North American aftermarket programs require rigorous compliance with the Society of Automotive Engineers standard J2530. Rimax provides certified load markings, offset engravings, and full traceability documentation directly stamped on inner rim barrels.
Our export trade department coordinates specialized HS codes, Certificates of Origin (Form E, RCEP, Form A), anti-dumping mitigation advisory, and flexible logistics terms including FOB, CIF, DDP, and consolidated LCL or 40HQ container shipments worldwide.
From Arabian Desert dune bashing to Nürburgring Nordschleife track records and high-security tactical armored transports, our custom forged wheel architecture is tailored to the exact physical stress profiles of each operational environment.
In endurance circuit racing, every gram of rotating wheel mass affects lap times across long stints. Custom forged titanium and forged 6061-T6 monoblocks eliminate rim flex under high-downforce aero loads, maintaining tire surface contact uniformity through fast chicanes and curbing impacts.
Bespoke luxury programs require 100% vehicle-specific design harmony. We craft multi-piece modular wheels (2-piece and 3-piece) with forged titanium rim hardware, aerospace 6061-T6 forged centers, and mirror-polished, brushed tinted clear, or DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coatings.
Off-road operations across the Middle East (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar) and the Australian Outback demand high static load limits. Kipardo reinforced 6-hole and 5-hole wheels for Land Cruiser 300, Nissan Patrol Y62, and Ford Raptor sustain heavy curb landings and low tire pressure bead retention.
B6 and B7 level ballistic protection armoring elevates vehicle weights past 4.5 tons. Standard alloy wheels fail under sudden evasive maneuver stress. We engineer forged titanium and heavy-duty forged aluminum wheels capable of housing internal run-flat tire systems under sustained tactical emergency speeds.
Heavy EV battery packs combined with instant electric torque deliver severe rotational stress and generate interior cabin tire cavity resonance. Rimax forged designs utilize aero-turbofan spoke architecture to reduce aerodynamic drag (Cd) while maximizing battery range and brake ventilation.
Sub-zero operating environments cause standard cast metals to become brittle, leading to catastrophic failure under pothole shocks. Our aerospace-grade forged titanium and T6 heat-treated alloys retain ductile toughness at -40°C, providing fail-safe mobility for extreme commercial utility.
Continuous technical innovation is the hallmark of Shanghai Rimax Industry Co., Ltd. Our R&D engineering laboratory is actively advancing the boundary between additive titanium manufacturing, AI generative topology optimization, and circular metal recovery.
By implementing generative algorithmic load analysis, wheel spokes are sculpted down to the exact stress vector lines. Non-structural excess metal is removed via 5-axis high-speed CNC milling centers, saving up to 18% weight without sacrificing load rating.
Combining laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) 3D printed titanium aerodynamic outer turbofan rings with ultra-dense 10,000-ton forged 6061-T6 aluminum hubs. This delivers lightweight performance and tailored aerodynamic efficiency at accessible commercial tooling costs.
Titanium conducts heat poorly, which accelerates tool wear and creates surface work-hardening. Rimax integrates liquid nitrogen (-196°C) cryogenic cooling during spoke profile milling, improving tool life by 300% and creating a mirror-like micro-smooth titanium finish.
Establishing zero-waste aerospace titanium scrap re-melting under vacuum arc remelting (VAR) furnaces. This system recycles 100% of CNC aluminum and titanium swarf into certified industrial billets, reducing the carbon footprint per wheel set by 64%.
