CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — Rocket Performance Machine Inc. has developed a dual-direction, flow-form, semi-forged wheel production method that offers "near infinite flexibility," according to the manufacturer of the Rocket Racing Wheels brand.
The cast center can be moved within a wide range of offsets inside the spun-forged outer rim, providing options that, until now, were available only from expensive multi-piece wheels, the company said.
"This breakthrough technology delivers weight and metal strength characteristics similar to traditional high-dollar forged wheels," Rocket Performance said.
The company said its designers and engineers, along with automotive aftermarket veterans, conducted extensive research in a collaborative effort to develop the most popular pro touring and performance wheel designs.
