Frequently Asked Technical Questions
Essential technical, logistics, and quality assurance guidance for automotive wheel importers and procurement teams.
What is the structural difference between low-pressure cast and gravity cast wheels?
Low-pressure casting uses controlled pneumatic pressure to push molten alloy upward into the steel die. This bottom-up filling eliminates air pockets and reduces porosity compared to gravity casting, yielding a tighter grain structure, higher tensile strength, and lower curb weight under identical load ratings.
How does Rimax ensure polished aluminum finishes resist oxidation?
Our polished wheels undergo a 7-stage chemical pre-treatment and degreasing cycle, followed by micro-deburring and mechanical mirror polishing. We then apply an electrostatic transparent thermoset acrylic powder or high-temperature cured liquid clear coat that undergoes 720+ hours of ASTM B117 salt spray testing to prevent filiform oxidation and clear-coat peeling.
What are the standard Minimum Order Quantities (MOQ) and tool development timelines?
For existing catalog molds, our standard MOQ is 60–80 pieces per size/PCD configuration. For custom OEM/ODM styling, tooling and CNC pattern development takes 25–30 days, followed by sample production and JWL destructive validation in 10–14 days. Full-container volume production typically ships within 35–45 days after prototype sign-off.
Can offset (ET), PCD, and center bore (CB) dimensions be tailored on cast models?
Yes. We engineer flexible back-pad CNC machining profiles across our master molds. This lets us mill the bolt pattern from 4-lug to 6-lug configurations, customize the center bore for direct hub-centric fitments without spacer rings, and shave the offset back-pad within a safe 20mm engineering tolerance window.
