Precision-machined high-performance forged aluminum solutions engineered with certified VIA/JWL and TÜV tolerances for distribution across Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, and Andalusian tuning workshops.
Spain stands as the second-largest vehicle manufacturer in Europe and eighth globally, with expansive assembly and tier-1 clusters in Catalonia, the Basque Country, Galicia, and Castile and León. As performance standards shift toward unsprung weight reduction and electric mobility, the demand for high-strength, lightweight forged aluminum wheels is undergoing exponential growth.
Spain is characterized by a mature vehicle modification culture governed by strict structural safety legislation, specifically standardizations supervised by the Ministerio de Industria, Comercio y Turismo through ITV (Inspección Técnica de Vehículos) certification requirements. Spanish motorsport series, including TCR Spain, regional hill climbs across Asturias, and coastal GT supercar events in Marbella, demand wheel hubs that withstand substantial lateral g-forces without structural compromise.
Additionally, Spain’s logistics corridors—linking the Port of Valencia and Port of Algeciras with inland dry ports—are progressively adopting high-payload forged wheel platforms to reduce unsprung commercial trailer weight, directly improving diesel and battery-electric range.
The global forged wheel sector is experiencing a macro transition driven by Electric Vehicles (EVs) and hybrid hypercars. EVs present two major structural challenges: elevated curb weight from large lithium-ion battery packs and immediate torque spikes from permanent-magnet electric motors.
Traditional gravity cast or low-pressure cast alloys often fail to balance weight with the needed fatigue thresholds. Forged aerospace 6061-T6 aluminum provides a 25%–35% reduction in rotational inertia while providing superior yield strength (276 MPa vs. ~160 MPa for A356.2 casting). This directly extends battery range per cycle and preserves brake cooling characteristics under aggressive regenerative decelerations.
We engineer, produce, and batch-ship custom forged rims calibrated for specific environmental conditions and commercial applications across the Iberian Peninsula.
For specialized tuning salons in Marbella, Puerto Banús, and Madrid, vehicle aesthetics must align with structural integrity. We produce 20-inch to 24-inch staggered multi-piece configurations engineered with deep concave faces, diamond-cut brushed lips, and mirror-polished clear-coat anodizing tailored for Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Aston Martin applications.
At demanding circuits like Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya and Circuito del Jarama, heat management and rotary inertia dictate lap times. Our monoblock racing wheels feature knurled bead seats to completely eliminate tire slippage under rapid braking, alongside engineered spoke cavities designed via FEA (Finite Element Analysis) for optimal heat dissipation from ceramic brake calipers.
The rugged terrain of the Sierra Nevada and the Spanish Pyrenees demands extreme resilience. Our forged 4x4 Kipardo off-road series delivers reinforced outer flanges with 1,250 kg+ per-wheel load ratings. This guarantees complete resistance against impact deformation on rocky terrain where conventional cast alloy wheels risk sudden catastrophic cracking.
An objective review of structural, mechanical, and fatigue parameters comparing our 10,000-ton forged wheels against conventional low-pressure and gravity cast alternatives.

| Impact Resistance (13° Drop) | Zero crack formation, ductile deflection | Resistant; potential flange bend | Risk of brittle fracture at spoke junction |
| ITV Homologation Suitability | Exceptional (Documented Batch Traceability) | Standard European Approval | Requires increased thickness to pass |
Ensuring reliable supply from our ISO 9001 and IATF 16949-certified manufacturing facility to warehouses across the Iberian peninsula via direct maritime and intermodal connections.
Every custom order begins with digital scanning or OE blueprint verification. Our engineering team conducts dynamic cornering and radial load simulations using advanced ANSYS FEA software. Spoke profiles, brake clearances, and PCD drillings are confirmed to Spanish homologation metrics prior to cutting raw material.
Solid aerospace 6061 cylinders are heated to precise recrystallization temperatures and forged into blanks using our 10,000-ton closed-die hydraulic presses. This closes internal porosity and aligns metal grain structures. Components are then precision-milled using high-speed 5-axis CNC machines to achieve runout tolerances within ±0.15 mm.
Surface treatments feature ceramic conversions, robotic powder coating, PVD chrome, or electrochemical anodizing capable of withstanding over 1,000 hours of continuous ASTM B117 salt-spray exposure—critical for coastal humidity across Mediterranean ports. Wheel samples undergo dynamic radial fatigue, 13-degree impact drop tests, and helium leak testing.
We provide comprehensive supply-chain management with direct container shipping to Valencia, Barcelona, and Bilbao. Spanish importers receive complete single-source commercial support, including CE compliance declarations, mill inspection certificates (EN 10204 3.1), and export palletization to facilitate seamless customs clearance.
Direct, transparent answers regarding manufacturing procedures, delivery lead times, homologation support, and customization parameters for European distributors.
Our wheels are manufactured according to JWL and VIA structural criteria, meeting equivalent safety load limits. For Spanish clients undergoing homologation through technical engineering labs (Laboratorios Homologados), we provide complete material traceability sheets, FEA stress dossiers, and stamped rim load index specifications required for vehicle project approval (homologación de reformas).
Unlike conventional cast factories requiring hundreds of units per mold, our CNC-based forged line accommodates low-volume flexibility. We support an MOQ of just 1 set (4 wheels) for fully bespoke monoblock or multi-piece configurations, and provide tiered container-load wholesale pricing for Spanish distributors and tuning studios.
Bespoke 3D engineering and CNC machining typically take 15 to 22 business days from drawing approval. Ocean freight directly to the ports of Valencia, Barcelona, or Algeciras requires approximately 28 to 35 days, while expedited air delivery is available for time-sensitive motorsport projects.
Yes. Every parameter—including Pitch Circle Diameter (PCD), Center Bore (CB), Offset (ET), brake back-spacing, and hub-centric rings—is engineered to your exact specifications. We also offer custom private-label CNC engraved center caps, bespoke floating caps, and laser-etched lip logos.
