undergo an additional amount of hand
prep, creating a very artisanal look that
can only come from an educated hand.
Vossen’s manufacturing facilities
include a wide array of nishing options,
such as ceramic polishing, hand-brushing,
and powder coating. By bringing every
facet of wheel production in-house,
Vossen has full control of the nished
product, guaranteeing that every wheel
that ships is of exceptional quality and
precision.
Many forged wheel manufacturers
utilize the simplest and most common
machining techniques to increase
production volume. The Vossen Forged
line-up, particularly the Precision Series,
does not compromise its exclusive and
complex features for manufacturing ease.
The design process begins with
identifying the end goal. Gaps in both its
product line and the market help guide
the direction of new designs. Vossen
identify what is missing and ll in the
blanks from there, typically beginning
with a 3D model.
The signature feature of the Precision
Series is the Inni-Lip barrel, embodying
simplistic elegance and purity of design.
Without the utmost precision throughout
the entire manufacturing process, a
38
seamless and unobstructed transition
from the wheel face to barrel would be
impossible.
Every car make and model has
dierent parameters and clearances as
well as dierent general aesthetics.
Utilizing its extensive measuring process
and Vehicle Tailored Engineering, Vossen
Forged wheels are optimized specically
for each vehicle, maximizing concavity
and perfecting overall t.
Every Vossen Forged wheel design is
physically tested in compliance with SAE
and TUV standards. Using Finite Element
Analysis (FEA) software each wheel
undergoes simulated cornering, radial,
and impact testing specic to the vehicle.
Over 100 measurements are collected
from each vehicle, including the weight
rating and distribution, to determine each
wheel’s minimum material requirement.
Exclusive to the Precision Series, the
centre drop, hub, and mounting surface
diameters are specic to the bolt pattern
of the vehicle, allowing for further weight
reduction.
Vossen’s Vehicle Tailored Engineering
ensures that your vehicle will attain its
optimal style and performance. Every
Precision Series wheel is engineered to
be superior to the OEM wheel it is
replacing and the ultimate t is achieved
by considering the maximum width,
oset, and concavity that the car’s
dimensions will allow.
Once engineered, each wheel’s CAD
model is programmed for machining
using computer-aided manufacturing
software (CAM). The program, or GCode, is developed using CAM to guide
each machine’s tool paths while ensuring
that the nal wheel precisely matches
what the engineered CAD model
intended.
