VOSSEN FORGED
ENGINEERED ART | HANDCRAFTED IN MIAMI, FL – USA
Vossen Forged wheels that have been hand polished and/or brushed are finished using transparent powder coats, letting the hand finishing show through any variety of shades.
Vossen Forged wheels are offered in solid colors as a standard option. Solid colors vary in shade and smoothness, including gloss, matte, satin, and textured options.
Vossen’s in-house finishing facility utilizes state of-the-art equipment to produce only the highest quality finishes. From ceramic polishing to powder coating, all Vossen Forged wheels maintain industry-leading quality by monitoring every step of the process with the utmost scrutiny.
To achieve the highest quality finish, each wheel is hand-sanded and deburred after machining. Wheels receiving a brushed finish undergo an extended hand-sanding process, taking up to five hours each, to produce an even, brushed facade throughout the wheel.
The most time-consuming-yet-rewarding part of the finishing process is brushing and polishing.Offered as upgrade options in every Vossen Forged line, brushed wheels reveal the beauty in the forged aluminum grain while full ceramic polishing creates a mirror-like finish. Brushing and polishing can also be mixed for the best of both worlds.
After hand prep, all wheels undergo a 7-stage pre-treatment cleansing process to remove any impurities prior to powder coating. This pretreatment process allows for a stronger and more consistent finish once powder coated.
Vossen’s in-house powder coating facility has been developed specifically for handling wheels, utilizing state-of-the-art components and the highest quality powders to produce an elegantly uniform finish that stands the test of time.
After powder coating is complete, a final inspection is conducted. While the obvious inspection includes the quality and consistency of the finish’s aesthetic, a film thickness gauge is also used to ensure that the powder coat is uniform in thickness.
Once inspected, each wheel is cleaned and packaged for shipping to the customer.
