Default Wheel Construction Types

Wheels are usually of two types: semi-drop center wheel used in trucks, and drop center (DC) wheel, used in other vehicles such as cars, bikes, and buses. Most modern wheels are constructed using either steel or aluminum. Steel wheels are much heavier than aluminum wheels and are made in two pieces. Aluminum wheels can be constructed in multi-piece and can be made in the following ways: casting, rim rolling.

The basic way in which steel wheels are produced means that there is very little flexibility when it comes to design. Different sections of a wheel are pressed out firstly and then connected to form the entire wheel, ready to be used once the welds have been sufficiently ground down.

Most famously manufactured by RBS ( Race Brake Shop), wheels can be constructed from either two or three basic components. Two-piece wheels are made up of the wheel face (or centers) and the rim (or barrel), fastened together by rim screws that circulate around the circumference of the wheel center.

Racebrakeshop provides the better Wheel Construction Types at affordable prices.
