Rennen International Technology

Rennen International is a manufacturer of both forged wheels and low pressure casted wheels. Today, casted aluminum wheels are the standard of the wheel industry. Casted wheels are built by injecting molten metal into a mold containing a cavity in the shape of the desired design of the wheel. After the molten metal dries, a solid piece of metal remains in the shape of the wheel, ready to be finished. Since casting is a solidification process, Rennen International is able to tune the microstructure of the material. Aspects such as grain structure, precipitation and phase transformations can be finely tuned to ensure maximum wheel strength. Once again, Rennen International raises the bar with it's low pressure cast system. Low pressure casting puts pressure on the molten aluminum in the mold which creates a finished product that is denser than a regular casted wheel. Low pressure cast wheels match or exceed the quality of most original equipment aluminum wheels on cars and light trucks. Rennen's low pressure casting process allows Rennen to build wheels with intricate designs and complex structures while keeping up a relatively fast production rate.

Forging is a process of creating rims that uses high pressure dies to press a solid block of billet aluminum into a desired shape. Unlike casting, forging does not require the metal to be heated or melted, both of which weaken the material. Forging creates a finished wheel that is very dense and therefore much stronger than cast wheels, while significantly lighter. Forged wheels are the cream of the crop in the wheel industry but due to the high cost of equipment and long development times, these wheels come at a price significantly higher than their casted counterparts. Each of Rennen's forged wheels are built to order and designed for the customer’s exact car. This allows Rennen to go the extra mile with additional machining to create the perfect wheel for the customer. Custom engraving, wheel lightening, and custom finishes are just a handful of Rennen's capabilities but custom rivet designs, center caps, and bowl cuts are just a handful of the option Rennen International offer the customers. Rennen International manufactures Rennen Forged and Donz Forged wheels in a variety of styles, and due to the flexibility and precision of the manufacturing facility, Rennen can manufacture each style in a 1, 2, or 3 piece design to perfectly suit the customers desire. Rennen's manufacturing team ensures that every customer leaves with a truly custom set of wheels.
