Applications
Trendy design elements can be used to customize wheels quickly and simply to produce an attractive, personalized look. Such applications vary widely in terms of design, and a variety of methods is also used to secure them to the wheel.
Whether bonded, clipped or affixed with one or more screws, or a combination of these techniques – the wheel and the design element selected need to be coordinated with each other. It is also necessary to consider aspects such as mold wear, distortion in the wheel or constant gap dimensions, in addition to the options for series production and fitting.
Precise geometries which cannot be achieved by LPDC are also possible here. Wheels can be ordered in a range of colors with or without applications, which can be fitted at a later date too.
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!
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.
