Why 6061-T6 aluminum alloy forged wheels have become the preferred choice for household cars?

In the automotive after market, the demand for forged wheels among household car owners is increasing, but how to choose the appropriate style has become a challenge. Which material of forged wheels is more suitable for daily commuting? How should the size and hole spacing be matched? 

Today, let's focus on the household car scene and analyze the selection logic of forged wheels. 

The reason why 6061-T6 aluminum alloy forged wheels have become the preferred choice for household cars is its lightweight and stability. 

Compared with regular casting steel, 6061-T6 aluminum alloy has a lower density, reduces weight by 25% for the same size, and can lower vehicle fuel consumption; At the same time, after T6 heat treatment, the deformation resistance is increased by 30%, making it easy to cope with urban congestion and high-speed driving.

For distributors who purchase in bulk, factory supplied aluminum forged wheels for household use are more cost-effective. The direct supply mode eliminates intermediate links, reduces procurement costs by 15% -20%, and manufacturers can adjust parameters such as hole spacing and offset according to vehicle needs, such as adapting to the 17 inch specifications of mainstream household cars such as Volkswagen and Toyota, which can cover more customer needs.

In daily use, 17/18 inch 4-hole and 5-hole comfortable forged wheels are the popular choice for household cars. 17/18 inch size paired with 55-60 flat ratio tires can balance comfort and handling, filtering out road bumps; The 4-hole and 5-hole design evenly disperses pressure and is suitable for the wheel hub installation position of most compact and medium-sized household cars. It is easy to install and has strong stability.

The core of choosing forged wheels for household cars is "adaptability+practicality". 6061-T6 aluminum alloy material ensures performance, factory direct supply mode controls costs, and the 17 inch /18 inch 4-hole and 5-hole specification is compatible with most car models. The combination of the three can meet all daily commuting needs. In the future, with the trend of electrification of household cars, the demand for lightweight forged wheels will continue to grow. Choosing products that are suitable for one's own vehicle model can truly enhance the travel experience.
