Why Forged?
The next level of tough.
Rocktrix got here on cast wheels. Tough, good looking, and ready for the trail. That's not changing. Forged is the step up.
Dense, solid forged metal.
Forging presses aluminum into one tight, solid piece, with grain that follows the shape of the wheel. Solid all the way through.
Strength for its weight.
Forged aluminum has a higher strength-to-weight ratio than cast aluminum. The gain is strength, not big weight savings.
One solid piece.
Every Rocktrix wheel, cast or forged, is one solid piece. There's nothing to loosen and nothing to reseal.
Built once. Built right.
What goes into every Rocktrix Forged wheel.
SAE J2530 is the SAE performance standard for aftermarket wheels on cars and light trucks. Rocktrix Forged wheels are tested to all three:
Cornering fatigue
Spins the wheel under a bending load, over and over, like hard cornering.
Radial fatigue
Rolls the wheel under load, like miles of driving.
Impact
Hits the wheel from the side, like a curb or a rock.
