Technology - The American Force Promise

Forged Since Day 1. Quality Without Compromise

By adding a new dimension to American Force plates. these new 3D inserts are made from a solid block of forged t6061 aerospace grade aluminum made in the USA and exclusively for tactical force wheels precisely machine to match the design of the wheel the 5 step machining process is extremely demanding and cubersome, but the finished wheel is well worth the extra effort with these new tactical force series, you can dominate the street.

CONCEPT

American Force wheels strive to visualize new ways to make a statement with each wheel design. The concept phase of wheel development starts off from an abstract idea... whether that?s a form that the movement makes, geometric shapes, a vehicle?s design cues, or other symbols. After sketching out ideas American Force refine the concept until we find a form that makes for a bold wheel and a sturdy look on any vehicle. The next phase is the design modeling.

American Force Wheels defines its wheels as a unique aesthetic, as a market innovator, and proudly... as a trend setter. American Force Wheels are undeniably a leader in wheels for Trucks, SUV, JEEPS and now UTV's. Each unique wheel design, comes with a d

The tough bold look is synonymous with American Force, differentiating our deep lip, deep dish and bold thick design apart from the rest. The bold design is more than a wheel, it's a philosophy that's carefully matched to your vehicle and your character.

The concept process begins with the desire to make a visual statement. Initial concept starts from an array of inspiration, drawing from abstract ideas, movement, geometric shapes and symbols.

DESIGN and ENGINEERING

The design phase at American Force Wheels is where we bring a concept to life. Using the latest software, we refine the concept to make sure we accurately define the shape to properly align with the parameters for each of our forged aluminum profiles. Through measurements and geometry we create a three dimensional model to display the design intent before testing its structural integrity in the engineering phase.

In the engineering phase at American Force Wheels we make sure to test the structural integrity of each wheel design. It?s a critical stage in making sure that the design?s visual intent doesn?t subtract from the possible load capacity. Through this element analysis a design may be refined to compensate for any possible points. Once the wheel passes verification, the design is processed into the programming stage.

MACHINING

Here at American Force Wheels we use the best CNC machines in the business. These machines are a process used in the manufacturing sector which involves a sophisticated program to control machine tools.

Precision Machining with State of the Art Equipment

Depending on the wheel specifics we have a variety of machine sizes and types, including a lathe, to mill out each wheel. This manufacturing process truly represents what it means to have custom work. Each wheel is made to order per the customer?s specifications.

Manufacturing the top wheels in the industry for Trucks, SUV, JEEPS and UTV's start with nothing but the best quality raw materials. We use a high caliber grade of aluminum called 6061-T6 and each wheel is a proprietary Forged process to guarantee a consi

The first step in the manufacturing of our wheels after forging is lathe turning. The forged blank wheel is lathe-turned to create the desired diameter, width and offset. This creates the perfect wheel blank which is then put into the milling process.

FINISHING and QUALITY CONTROL

It?s important to make sure a wheel that?s leaving an American Force Wheels CNC machine is clean and free of any aluminum shavings. To achieve this, American Force has a custom wheel washing machine that utilizes a secret process to make sure each wheel comes out free of any particles before they can enter a finishing stage. An aspect that makes American Force Wheels special is the ability to customize your wheels to an incredibly high degree. As a standard American Force offer each design as a high polish, a process that will outlast any chrome.

American Force Wheels prides itself on quality from day one of the forging process. As each order is a specific custom placement our quality control department has an important job to do. American Force review each order checking to see if each process has been followed correctly and to verify that there are no defects in machining, true roundness and finishing process.

CUSTOMER CONNECTION

The customer connection is one of the most important aspects of American Force Wheels. To enhance the customer experience, we developed a very personal experience for each customer through the Customer Connection App. Our Customer Connection process was designed to give buyers more control by engaging them throughout the buying process, beginning at the dealer level and continuing through shipping and fulfillment.

American Force understand that one of the frustrations of having custom wheels made, opposed to buying mass produced off-the-rack wheels, is the lead time. Unfortunately, this is unavoidable as each wheel is made specifically for each customer. This was the spawn of what is now known as the C.C.A. The thought behind it was to connect with the customer along the way so that they would be updated on the process.
