RAYS Gram Lights 57F wheels

These are a forged one piece monoblock aluminum wheel. They are made from the finest aircraft grade 6061 aluminum. Each part of the wheels is made by a process called hot forging. A solid piece of aluminum billet is heated and is shaped applying compressive force from a press.

The 1st forging process is performed with a pressure of 5,000 kg's per cm2. In the 2nd forging process 3,500 kg's are applied per cm2. The lip is also forged to 3,500 kilograms per cm2. Forging refines the grain structure and improves the physical properties of the metal. With the advanced RAYS design process the grain flow can be oriented in the direction of principal stresses encountered in actual use. Grain flow is the direction of the pattern that the crystals take during forging. Physical properties (such as strength, ductility and toughness) are much better in a forging than in the base metal, which has crystals randomly oriented. The excess material left on the wheel is then machined off (to tolerance of 1/100 of a millimeter).

These wheels are a premium forged wheel in the RAYS Gram Lights range, and they inherit the same properties as wheels such as the famous TE37.
