Despite existing since 3500 B.C., wheels are actually kind of a new thing.
They didn’t appear until after people could stand upright or weave baskets. And the first wheels weren’t even used for transportation.
Thankfully, the wheel we know today does help our vehicles move—and move fast.
If you’re a sports car or luxury vehicle owner, you want the real deal when it comes to your wheels. Niche Wheels hears that need and answers it with performance power and quality.
Unfamiliar with what they are and can do for your vehicle? Here’s a look at some of the highlights of these cutting-edge wheels.
Characteristics of Niche Wheels
Some people personalize their vehicles as an act of self-expression and pride. There’s even evidence that younger car owners spend $7.2 billion annually to customize their rides. And wheels and tires are the largest focus.
Niche wheels can satisfy the need for both personality and performance. These aren’t your average wheels. They’re designed and constructed specifically for high-performance vehicles and road racing.
Cast and Forged Constructions Built for Speed
You’ll find Niche wheels in two main design types: cast and forged.
Cast wheels are made by heating aluminum until its molten. It’s then poured into a mold and formed in one solid piece. When the metal is cooled, details are added.
Forged wheels are also built in one piece, but the build process is slightly different. They actually start as one big piece of metal called a billet. This mass of metal is melted and put under pressure, and this process helps forge a particular design.
Cast wheels can be heavier than forged wheels. But all Niche wheels have the benefit of being solid but also light. This translates into swift and responsive road performance.
Many Personalization Options
Niche wheels are never bland or one-size-fits-all. Looking for staggered fitment for your Mustang wheels? Or want road-ready wheels for your SUV?
Niche Wheels have you covered.
Cast wheel options are compatible with a wide array of vehicle types, makes, and finishing options.
Forged wheels are also available in a variety of design types. You have the power to choose your perfect style, size, and custom finishing preferences.
