EVO Corse Wheel Technologies

Precision, Engineering and Performance Made in Italy

Each EVO Corse wheel is created with one clear goal: to guarantee maximum strength, lightness and reliability, even under the most extreme conditions.

To achieve this, we use two different manufacturing technologies — forging and low-pressure casting — depending on the specific model or customer requirements.

Both processes are the result of years of research, testing and development carried out entirely in Italy, with one purpose: transforming aluminum into a racing component that ensures safety and performance.

FORGED WHEELS

Forging is the most advanced process for manufacturing high-performance wheels.
It starts from a solid block of aerospace-grade aluminum (billet), which is compressed by a 12,000-ton press until it reaches a cylindrical shape similar to the wheel’s outline.
Through this process and a specific heat treatment, the material gains exceptional mechanical properties, thanks to its unique crystalline grain and the use of high-quality alloy.

The forged blank then goes through a series of precision machining operations:

• CNC turning and milling, to define the channel profile, set the desired offset and create the final spoke design by removing excess material.
• Micro-shot peening, performed to polish and harden the surface, preparing it for the next treatments.
• Multi-layer painting, which protects the metal and gives the wheel its final finish.

The design phase of each wheel begins with a 3D model, defining its geometry and style. Then, using FEM (Finite Element Method) simulation, loads and stresses are tested virtually to guarantee resistance and performance before production.

The result is a forged wheel that is extremely lightweight, strong and perfectly balanced, ideal for the highest levels of motorsport and off-road competition.

CAST WHEELS

The casting process is the most widely used technology in alloy wheel production.
It involves melting an aluminum alloy, which is then poured into a mold of the desired shape.
At EVO Corse, casting is performed exclusively at low pressure, using steel molds with specifically designed cooling systems to achieve a very fine crystalline grain structure and high mechanical strength — essential for producing lightweight and reliable racing wheels.

The design starts with a 3D model, used to create the casting mold.
From a single mold, different wheel profiles can be developed to meet the requirements of various vehicles.
We start from a primary alloy mainly composed of aluminum, silicon, magnesium, titanium and other elements that make it resistant and suitable for extreme applications.
The casting is then followed by a T6 heat treatment (solution heat treatment and artificial aging) to increase hardness and strength

The raw casting is then processed in several stages using advanced CNC machining.
Each wheel is hand-finished to remove even the smallest imperfections, followed by micro-shot peening to prepare the surface for painting.
Finally, the wheel receives three coats of powder and/or liquid paint, providing an elegant look along with excellent corrosion protection and abrasion resistance.
