ODM Forging Rims Pricelist & Products

Every batch engineered in our facility undergoes rigorous destructive and non-destructive validation based on international JWL, VIA, and SAE J2530 specifications. This includes 13-degree impact testing to evaluate hub-to-spoke fatigue resistance, dynamic radial endurance cycling under continuous radial load, dynamic cornering fatigue tests, multi-axis helium air-leak tests, and 720-hour salt-spray corrosion resistance tests for high-saline road environments.

For custom monoblock or modular 6061-T6 forged rims, initial 3D CAD modeling and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) are typically completed within 48 to 72 hours. Once design and fitment specifications (PCD, Center Bore, Offset ET) are approved, CNC tooling and billet carving take approximately 15 to 20 business days. Full batch surface finishing, non-destructive coordinate measuring (CMM), dynamic balance testing, and export palletization wrap up within 25 days.

Yes. Unlike cast alloy wheels that require high-cost permanent steel molds and higher minimum batch runs (typically 80–100 pieces per specification), our custom CNC forging workflow allows enterprise buyers and performance shops to place pilot orders starting from just 1 set (4 wheels). This dramatically lowers inventory holding costs while testing new luxury or racing designs in local markets.

The fundamental difference lies in metal grain structure and density. Cast wheels are made by pouring molten liquid aluminum into a mold, which can occasionally retain micro-porosity. Forged wheels utilize solid aerospace 6061-T6 aluminum billets compressed under 10,000 tons of closed-die hydraulic force. This compacts the grain structure along the rim flow lines, generating substantially higher yield and tensile strength (exceeding 310 MPa), allowing spokes to be made thinner and lighter while supporting higher dynamic payload ratings.

All Kipardo-branded and private-label ODM products manufactured by Shanghai Rimax Industry Co., Ltd. are backed by our comprehensive warranty matrix: an industry-leading 5-year / 100,000 km structural integrity warranty against metallurgical defects, spoke failure, and manufacturing faults, alongside a 2-year warranty covering decorative surface finishes (paint, clear coat, and anodization).
