Life of a Wheel: Motegi Racing MR408

Ever wonder how a forged 3-piece wheel is made? Inspiration for a wheel can come from anything, a flower blossom, a geometric shape, a curve of a car line. 1000 hours of man power and design goes into each wheel to make sure it’s perfect. The hard part is taking the sketch to it’s final form. The wheel must be light enough to increase performance but also strong enough to withstand abuse. Forging, CNC machining, Welding, and cutting all take place to form the metal into something beautiful and functional.
