DakarForged
DakarForged is born from EVO Corse’s experience in international Rally Raid. Following the 2023 Dakar Rally victory of Nasser Al-Attiyah and Mathieu Baumel, driving the Toyota Gazoo Racing Toyota Hilux, EVO Corse makes available a wheel derived from the one used in competition.
DakarForged retains the material and manufacturing technology of the competition wheel: AA6061-T6 aluminium alloy and a forging process. Its configuration has been adapted for installation on road-going 4×4 vehicles, while retaining a direct technical link with the project developed for Rally Raid.
From competition to 4×4 applications
Forging allows the wheel sections to be optimised according to the project, with the aim of achieving a high strength-to-weight ratio. In DakarForged, this technology is applied to a 17″ wheel configurable for off-road and 4×4 applications.
The correct configuration depends on the vehicle, tyre, PCD, ET, centre bore, braking system and operating conditions.
AVAILABLE SIZES
DakarForged 8.5×17″
DakarForged is available in an 8.5″ width and 17″ diameter, with a range of ET and PCD specifications developed for 4×4 and off-road configurations.
| Size | ET | PCD | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8.5×17″ | from -15 to 55* | from 5×114.3 to 5×150 | from 11.4 to 12.2 kg |
Material and manufacturing technology
DakarForged is made from AA6061-T6 aluminium alloy through forging. The process allows the material to be worked and the wheel sections to be optimised according to the requirements of the wheel project.
Finishes and configurations
Available colours are white, silver, gold, anthracite, matt black, glossy black, matt bronze and glossy bronze.
The wheel must be configured according to PCD, ET, centre-bore diameter, fastening system, tyre, available brake clearance and intended use.
Applications and compatibility check
DakarForged must be configured according to the specifications of each individual vehicle. Before ordering, it is necessary to verify the vehicle year and version, wheel size, PCD, ET, centre-bore diameter, available brake clearance, tyre, intended load and applicable approval requirements.
The sizes, weights and configurations shown may vary according to the specific wheel specification. To identify the correct configuration, contact the EVO Corse team or use the configurator.
