BMW wheels and BMW rims are unmatched for
their sophistication. The BMW wheel and rim compliment the
various BMW models like X3, Z3, Z4, X5, M3 and other such
classy models. The BMW luxury cars use light alloy wheels.
The BMW 840CI model uses silver colored alloy wheel, which
is 17 inches in diameter and has five spokes. The BMW 740I
model, on the other hand, uses dull silver finished alloy
wheel with fifteen spokes. This in no way suggests any compromise
with the durability and functioning of the wheels. In fact,
each BMW wheel is subjected to rigorous tests before they
are fitted into family cars and sports utility vehicles.
The BMW motors source their alloy wheels from world-renowned
wheel giants who build first-class custom rims and wheels.
As far as the looks are concerned, the wheel manufacturers
eye neatness and grandeur. The factory wheels are hardened
using a special forging technique. The forging process imparts
a tensile strength, which is 20-25 percent better than traditional
forging. Using CNC lathe machines the radial contours, rim
registers and mounting faces of the wheels are given a basic
shape. The basic shape is then loaded into a CNC mill, which
has 40-hp, 14000-rpm capability and has about 40 interchangeable
tools. This CNC mill takes just 20 minutes to make a fully
featured BMW wheel center from the basic shape. A six-step
cleaning process is essentially followed for each part of
the wheel before they are polished bare, clear coated, powder
coated Speed Silver or anodized.
BMW alloy and aluminum wheels come in various sizes, say
like 20x10, 20x9.5, 18x8, 18x9.5, 19, etc. befitting the 5
& 7 Series. In fact, each series from the Bavarian Motor
Works company has a different set of wheel and rim size. The
wheel and rim color options available are interesting –
varying from chrome, silver, hyper silver and black.
