RVRN

OUR STORY

In 2018, a small team of engineers had a vision. Automotive enthusiasts with engineers' eyes for skillful design, they had grown disillusioned with the poor construction and selection of aftermarket wheels. What if, they wondered, they could not only offer quality aftermarket wheels to car enthusiasts, but involve them in the process of designing the wheels as well? What if they could help them create their idea of the perfect wheel? This was the birth of RVRN Custom Forged Wheels.

OUR SERVICE

We believe that a wheel’s function does not have to compromise its form, and reflect this in all of our designs. Whether you have an SUV, sports car or otherwise exotic vehicle, our team can help you find the perfect fit for your ride from our collection, or help you bring your idea to life through our Custom Service. Every wheel we create represents the finest in aftermarket performance and luxury wheels, and is made to unlock your cars performance potential, maximize its handling, and have you driving the streets in style with your aftermarket rims.

OUR GOAL

The process starts from the ground up. It begins in the shop, and doesn’t end until the rubber hits the pavement. Our goal is to incorporate our passion for creation, innovation, craftsmanship and all things automotive into every wheel we make. However, our ambitions don’t stop there. We’re determined to become leaders in the wheel industry, and to offer the highest quality wheels and best service to our customers.

OUR APPROACH

CAD Modeling

We use parametric CAD software to design our wheels, allowing precision modelling to be within 0.01mm, and for us to easily assess and modify features against the design intent and the predicted outcome throughout the process. Every design will pass through multiple drafts until the look is perfect.

Design Optimization

When the core design is ﬁnalized, our designer begins enhancing the performance and look. Each set of wheels is designed with speciﬁc weight reduction strategies in mind, such as spoke hollowing and weight reduction pocketing. Concavity or dish depth is optimized as per client's request. Brake clearance will also be verified to make sure mounting the wheels will be hassle-free.

Finite Element Analysis

Before going into production, the designer will perform computer simulation tests - Finite Element Analysis - to make sure all applicable JLW, VIA and TUV safety standards are met. The highly predictable mechanical properties of forged 6061-T6 aluminum alloy allow us to pinpoint potential stress points in the wheel and predict its performance with FEA to an exceptional degree of accuracy.

CAST WHEELS

Typical OEM (and most aftermarket) wheels, made by pouring molten aluminum into a mould. Casting is inexpensive and allows for mass production of low-cost alloy wheels. However this method creates very porous metal - air pockets inside the metal reduce it’s structural integrity. Not only are cast wheels weaker, but in order to compensate for the weaker metal they must be reinforced with thicker spokes and extra material, making them heavier as well. In addition, added mass to the wheel also greatly reduce handling of the vehicle and feedbacks from the road surface.

RVRN FOCUSES ON HIGH-END FORGED WHEELS

Machine-forged wheels are made from a single forged aluminum block. It is subjected to immense heat and pressure, changing the very properties of the metal - compressing it, eliminating air pockets, aligning grain structure and improving uniformity. It is then shaped through multiple steps of precision CNC machining into the selected design. The resulting wheels are signiﬁcantly stronger than cast wheels, lighter than rotary forged wheels, and far more capable of handling a spirited driving style and track use. Since every set of wheels are made to order, the customization possibilities on them are endless.

FLOW FORMED WHEELS

Also known as rotary forged, flow formed wheels begin their lives as cast wheels, speciﬁcally cast with a shortened barrel. The barrel is pressed against a heated hydraulic roller and spun, compressing and stretching it, decreasing the porosity and improving the quality of the metal. While they weigh less than cast wheels and have similar strength to forged wheels in barrel, ﬂow formed wheels cannot quite match the strength-to-weight ratio (and resulting freedom in design choices) of machine-forged wheels.

ART OF PRECISION ENGINEERING

LIGHTWEIGHT CONSTRUCTION

Made from aerospace-grade, forged 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, our wheels are engineered with optimal strength-to-weight ratios in mind through every step of their design. The excellent mechanical properties of the forged 6061-T6 allow us to exceed strength requirements while using less material - resulting in both the lightest and the strongest wheels of the three manufacturing methods.

PERFORMANCE PHYSICS

We don’t construct lightweight aftermarket wheels just because we can. Less unsprung weight and rotational mass under your suspension means improvements in performance across the board - from braking, accelerating, fuel economy, comfort and handling, to how it feels when you take that corner on the track.

UNCOMPROMISED STYLING

The strength and quality of our metal permits more complex and sophisticated designs than standard wheels. Our wheel designs go through months of fine-tuning before release, and range from classic, racetrack-inspired homage to more modern, aggressive styles.
