Custom Rim 411 - Part 4 - Two Piece WheelsTwo different processes are used to make wheels - Casting and Forging! These wheels are known as one piece wheels. Some wheels combine a forged outer hoop with a cast center. These wheels are known as two piece wheels and are welded or riveted together to form the wheel. Both the one piece and two piece custom wheels each have an advantage. Produced in high volume one piece wheels are generally less expensive to make with an offset that will fit many different cars. Two piece wheels offer greater fitment flexibility as the center section can be welded in a number of of places within the rim to create a variety of offsets. This is especially important when trying to fit a car where the front and rear offsets don't match.
