The benefits of Forged Magnesium wheels

​

Uncompromising Strength. Exceptional Lightness. Engineered for Performance.
 

At VAD Design, we believe that exceptional performance begins with exceptional engineering.
Our forged magnesium wheels combine advanced materials technology, precision manufacturing and motorsport-inspired design to deliver an outstanding balance of strength, rigidity and weight reduction.

Advanced Forging Technology

Forged magnesium wheels offer significant advantages over conventional cast wheels. Manufactured from high-performance magnesium alloy using a precision 3D hot forging process, each wheel is formed under a press with a capacity of 20,000 tonnes.

This process creates a refined, continuous grain structure within the alloy, enhancing its mechanical properties and structural integrity. The result is a wheel engineered to withstand the demands of high-performance driving while maintaining exceptional strength and durability.

Unlike brittle materials that can fracture under excessive impact, magnesium alloy wheels are designed to absorb and withstand loads through controlled deformation, subject to their design and operating limits.
 

Lightweight Performance

Reducing unsprung mass is one of the most effective ways to enhance vehicle performance.
Wheels, tyres and braking components form a significant part of a vehicle's unsprung weight, directly influencing suspension

response, handling and ride quality.

Our forged magnesium wheels offer substantial weight savings compared with equivalent aluminium wheels, with potential reductions of up to 50% depending on wheel design and specification. Less weight means reduced rotational inertia, allowing the engine and braking system to accelerate and decelerate the wheels more efficiently. 

This can contribute to:

• Improved acceleration and braking response.

• Enhanced steering feel and vehicle agility.

• Improved suspension response over uneven surfaces.

• Reduced unsprung mass for a more responsive driving experience.

• Potential improvements in efficiency, depending on the vehicle and specification.

For performance-focused vehicles, every gram matters.

Superior Vibration Damping

Magnesium alloys possess excellent inherent vibration-damping characteristics compared with aluminium alloys. This helps absorb and dissipate road-induced vibrations, contributing to improved refinement and a more controlled driving experience.

The benefits of reduced unsprung mass, combined with the damping properties of magnesium, can support improved suspension performance and reduced stress on associated components.
 

Thermal Performance

Magnesium's thermal properties offer further benefits in demanding driving conditions. Its ability to conduct and dissipate heat can assist with the management of temperatures within the wheel and braking environment.
 

Combined with an appropriately designed wheel and braking system, this can contribute to consistent performance during
spirited road  / Street driving and or track use.
 

Precision Engineering. Performance Without Compromise.

Every VAD Design forged magnesium wheel is engineered with a focus on strength, weight, durability and performance.

From the advanced forging process to the final wheel design, our commitment is to deliver products that meet the demands of discerning performance enthusiasts and serious automotive applications.
