2-Piece Forged Wheel
Sunland‘s 2 piece forged wheel series is the most versatile model among Forged Wheels. — combining a separately forged center disc with a precision-spun or forged outer barrel to give distributors, dealers, and custom build shops the exact offset, width, and finish configuration they need, without compromise.
Every 2 piece forged wheel in this collection is manufactured from 6061-T6 aerospace-grade aluminum billets, forged under high tonnage pressure, and CNC-machined across our fully integrated production facility in Hebei, China. Factory-direct supply, MOQ from 4 pieces, and OEM/ODM customization with 2D drawings within 24 hours.
How Sunland Builds Its 2 Piece Forged Wheels
1. Premium 6061-T6 Aerospace-Grade Aluminum Billet
Every 2 piece forged wheel manufactured at Sunland begins with a solid 6061-T6 aluminum billet. This is not a recycled or remelted alloy. Instead, it is aviation-grade material with a certified chemical composition, selected specifically for its superior forging characteristics.
The use of 6061-T6 billet allows the finished wheel to achieve the grain density, tensile strength, and structural integrity required for high-performance automotive applications.
2. High-Pressure Forging of the Center Disc
The wheel center is forged using high-tonnage hydraulic press equipment. During the forging process, the aluminum grain structure is compressed into a dense and directionally aligned lattice.
This grain alignment significantly improves strength and fatigue resistance compared to conventional cast or flow-formed wheel manufacturing methods.
3. Precision CNC Machining
After forging, each center disc undergoes multi-axis CNC machining.
Critical features including:
● Spoke geometry
● Hub bore
● Bolt circle (PCD)
● Face profile
are machined to exact engineering specifications. Manufacturing tolerances are maintained at the micron level to ensure dimensional accuracy and repeatability.
4. Dedicated Barrel Manufacturing
Depending on the wheel design and intended application, the barrel section is produced using either spun-forming or separate forging processes.
The barrel is manufactured through Sunland’s dedicated production line, where:
● Wall thickness is calibrated according to load-rating requirements
● Structural consistency is verified throughout production
● Bead seat profiles are precision-machined for optimal tire fitment and sealing performance
5. Assembly with Aerospace-Grade Hardware
The forged center and barrel are assembled using aerospace-grade bolting hardware.
During assembly:
● Fasteners are torqued to precise engineering specifications
● Component fitment is verified
● Structural integrity of the assembled wheel is checked before proceeding to finishing operations
Titanium hardware options are also available for selected applications.
6. Balance and Runout Inspection
Before surface finishing begins, every assembled wheel undergoes comprehensive inspection procedures, including:
● Dynamic balance testing
● Radial runout inspection
● Lateral runout inspection
These checks ensure smooth rotation, consistent performance, and compliance with Sunland quality standards.
7. Robotic Finishing Systems
Surface finishing is performed through automated robotic production systems to maintain consistency across full manufacturing batches.
Available finishing processes include:
● Powder coating
● Liquid paint finishing
● Brushed finishes
● Polishing
● Custom color matching
Robotic application ensures uniform color, gloss level, and surface quality, which is especially important for distributors supplying matched wheel sets to end customers.
8. Final Quality Control
Every wheel undergoes a comprehensive final inspection before shipment.
Quality checks include:
● Dimensional verification
● Surface finish inspection
● Bolt torque verification
● Balance confirmation
● Runout measurement
Each completed wheel is released only after meeting documented quality control requirements and production standards.
9. Scalable Production Capacity
Sunland’s manufacturing facilities produce more than 22,000 forged wheels per month across the complete forged wheel range.
This production capacity enables Sunland to support:
● Large distributor programs
● OEM and private-label projects
● Bulk custom wheel orders
● International wholesale requirements
while maintaining consistent quality standards and reliable delivery schedules.
10. Built for Performance Without Compromise
From certified 6061-T6 billet material and high-pressure forging to precision CNC machining, robotic finishing, and documented quality inspection, every Sunland 2 piece forged wheel is manufactured to deliver strength, accuracy, appearance, and long-term durability for demanding automotive applications.
