aluminum percision products in CA is who forges there wheels.
centerline is another co that has a forge machine
and there is another one but he didnt know it.
aluminumpercision.com is where CCW gets there wheels done. hes trying to find out for me as we speak
but he said there is only 3 companies in the USA that do this and all are in cali.

one the phone with APP right now.
Bill in the wheels dept was not available. sorry i tried
Why are you calling them?
wanted to find out how many ton press they forge the wheels on. :facepalm
I thought they had you press them together?
yeah nobody cares eman way to waste your company’s time.
Depends on the wheels probably. They have presses ranging from 300-8000 ton
nope i asked and they said all 6061 t-6 is pressed the same.
OP: Sorry the thread went this route Bakerian, I can clean it up if you want…
Meanwhile I am :lol ing thinking I’m glad I don’t have ball-tastic wheels so I don’t have to worry about all this.
Swagger Sauce Racing and their half a$$ forging system (SSF) FTW!! :lol
Let’s look at a big piece of what makes a “quality” wheel (from engineering standpoint)- the forging process. The highest quality wheels are forged on an 8000 ton press.
There are only a few of these machines in the world, so even if finish machining and other processes are performed by the wheel manufacturer or supplier, the forging is most likely done somewhere else.
Just for kicks, I searched for 10 minutes for such a machine in the US. I remember hearing from a good friend in the aftermarket wheel industry that Champion Motorsports has access to one in the US, but I could be wrong. Can’t find evidence of this online, other than a couple threads I found where it says CM can supply wheel spares from the US. They do have a custom wheel program though, and it would seem logical they have access to a press close by to shorten delivery, cut shipping, but since it’s such a huge capital investment so who knows?
Anyways, in the quick search, I can’t find a press in the US, although I’m sure there are a couple.
Search for “8000 ton wheel press Japan” though and you’ll see a ton of quality wheel companies (including Champion Motorsports, Rays, Awksher, Ralph And Chuck (RAC)) pop up with statements that these forgings are done on machines in Japan. Yes it’s the interwebbzzz but I’d like to think some of this is true.
According to Rays’ website, the only 10,000 ton press equipment in Japan is at Rays.

Plus from their testing, it would seem they introduce a higher margin of safety than many others in their testing standards.
Makes perfect sense, because Japanese companies tend to be very conservative.
I guess what I’m trying to say here is that I had a hard time finding a completely US made wheel, including the forging. I can’t find evidence CCW wheels are forged here, although of course that’s possible.
i never said a Rays engineering wheel was bad. or inferior. its widely known that they manufacture to the highest level. they are one of the most widely used wheels in motorsports. but speaking for myself, if i were in the market for a higher end wheel. it would be a CCW.
im only buying tweels from now on. they are pressed with an eleventy-million ton ju-ju syncromatic homeostatic pressamographer.
