Diamond Cut
To produce mirror finishes and two-tone wheels, we use a diamond cut process.
Here the aluminum wheels are pre-painted and the surface is then turned using a diamond cutting tool. By removing a small amount of paint and aluminum, a shiny metallic, finely-honed surface is revealed. Diamond cut is performed especially on the wheel flange or on the spokes. This is how two-tone wheels are made – a real eye-catcher!
Planblue
The RONAL GROUP continuously strives to improve the materials and energy efficiency of its products. We therefore invest heavily in the research and development of sustainable wheels.
The best example of this is the RONAL R60-blue. It is the first automobile wheel to be designed and manufactured according to sustainable principles and with regard for the entire life cycle – from material provision through design development, production and transport to disposal. With this innovation in terms of sustainability, the RONAL GROUP is spearheading a new environmentally friendly generation of wheels.
This characterizes the RONAL R60-blue wheel:
- Made in Germany
- Manufactured using 100% green power
- Short transportation distances
- Weight reduction of up to 600 g per wheel
- Reduced fuel and energy consumption
- 20% lower CO2-emissions1
- At least 3300 km of CO2-neutral driving2
- 50% less solvent in coatings
- Accessories packed at regional workshops for the disabled
- Ideal for use with low-resistance tires

Undercut
Material that is not essential for wheel stability can go – thereby saving weight.
This principle of removing material behind the spokes that is not relevant to strength goes by the name of undercut for wheel manufacturing at the RONAL GROUP. Undercuts are produced either by machining or flowforming and can reduce wheel weight by between 600 g and 1.4 kg depending on dimension and design.
RONAL and SPEELINE CORSE winter wheels are marked with the snowflake icon. These winter-ready, pre-treated and painted alloy wheels are always the right choice even in the cold and wet season. They not only defy the weather, but are also a visual highlight in the snow to boot.
We are the first manufacturer ever to provide all our aftermarket wheels with their own sustainability label. This provides information about the CO2 savings achieved during production of that wheel. We do this by performing precise traceability of the CO2 footprint, from product development through material procurement and manufacturing to recycling.
Don’t just opt for the perfect design, but also for more sustainability and with the same original equipment manufacturer quality. The following label will help you in your decision:
