Forged Wheels R16–R24

In the “Wheels” section at DD Tuning you’ll find Kabeast Forged forged alloy wheels from R16 to R24: model-specific wheels in original (OEM) factory-style designs for a particular car model, as well as DH-Style designer series. There are no cast wheels in this catalog: a forged wheel is made from a solid aluminum billet, so at the same size it’s lighter and stronger than a cast one.

Which forged wheels are in the catalog

Wheels are grouped by diameter in subcategories: R16, R17, R18, R19, R20, R21, R22, R23 and R24. To see only options compatible with your car, select make and model in the filter — for example, forged wheels for BMW X5 G05 or for Mercedes GLS X167.

How to choose a wheel for your car

Diameter (R) isn’t enough: the wheel must also match the vehicle in four more parameters.

• Width (J) — rim width in inches; it determines which tire size you can run.
• Offset (ET) — the distance from the mounting face to the centerline of the wheel in millimeters; it determines whether the wheel will stick out past the fender and whether it may touch the brake caliper. The ET value is usually stamped on the inside of the wheel.
• Bolt pattern (PCD) — number of bolts and the diameter of the circle they’re on, e.g., 5×112 or 5×120.
• Center bore (DIA) — hub bore diameter.

The easiest way is to have a tire shop measure these specs on your factory wheels. Many modern cars run staggered setups: in a model-specific R22 set for BMW X5 G05, the front wheels are 22×9.5 ET22 and the rear wheels are 22×10.5 ET28. That’s why model-specific wheels are sold as a set, and you shouldn’t copy specs from one model to a similar one — even BMW X5 G05 and X6 G06 have different values.

Made to order

Forged wheels are made to order: the status and terms are shown on the product page. In addition to ready-made designs, you can choose a design from the catalog or send a photo of the look you want and confirm diameter, width, offset, and bolt pattern for your vehicle with a manager. The package includes wheels only — tires, TPMS sensors, and center caps are selected separately. If you’re unsure about offset, it’s safer to choose the factory value for your model.

Forged vs cast: what to choose

A cast wheel is poured into a mold from molten alloy, while a forged wheel is formed under pressure from a solid billet. Thanks to a denser metal structure, a forged wheel is lighter, handles impacts better, and holds its shape; reduced wheel weight is noticeable in handling and acceleration. Cast wheels are cheaper and easier to buy in stock. Go forged when weight, strength, large diameter, or a custom design for a specific vehicle matters.
