Product Information

This process usually employs a steel die, it is arranged above the crucible filled with molten magnesium. Most commonly, the crucible is sealed against the die and pressurized air/cover gas mix is used to force the molten metal up a straw-like filler tube into the die. [10] Lighter wheels can improve handling by reducing unsprung mass, allowing suspension to follow the terrain more closely and thus improve grip, however not all alloy wheels are lighter than their steel equivalents. Reduction in overall vehicle mass can also help to reduce fuel consumption. Health and Safety regulations prevent the manual handling of anything over 30kg by the courier company employees.

There are some key rules to ensuring you get your wheels in good condition and choose the correct service for you: Please note as well – you will only receive a cardboard box here with two inserts. I agree, it is surprising that cardboard boxes are as expensive as this, however it does contain custom stereo inserts (see pictures) and is made out of recycled material and a dual ply board. I also wish that the safe transportation of bicycle wheels cost less than it does. The earliest light-alloy wheels were made of magnesium alloys. Although they lost favor on common vehicles, they remained popular through the 1960s, albeit in very limited numbers. In the mid-to-late 1960s, aluminium-casting refinements allowed the manufacture of safer wheels that were not as brittle. Until this time, most aluminium wheels suffered from low ductility, usually ranging from 2-3% elongation. Because light-alloy wheels at the time were often made of magnesium (often referred to as "mags"), these early wheel failures were later attributed to magnesium's low ductility, when in many instances these wheels were poorly cast aluminium alloy wheels. Once these aluminium casting improvements were more widely adopted, the aluminium wheel took the place of magnesium as low cost, high-performance wheels for motorsports. If you want to be extra cautious you can use dish foam padding to create a little extra padding between the wheel face and the cardboard. All Tyres to be wrapped individually, in pairs, unless sending one. Please use some form of wrapping, such as cling film, shrink wrap,

If you’re not comfortable with the above method, which is my preferred method, you can just find a huge box and put them in there, too.There are a couple of options – if you know a good tire or tuning shop in the area, give them a ring and see if they have any extra wheel boxes they’d be willing to give to you. Places like Discount Tire or even car dealerships get tons of wheels shipped to them every day, and generally they just throw out the boxes. This is easiest option since wheel companies have boxes built made specifically to ship wheels so you can just place the wheels in the box and be done. If the wheels still have tires mounted, then cut out cardboard circles to cover the wheel itself (like pictured at the top of this post – it doesn’t need to cover the tire, the rubber can be exposed). Gravity-cast magnesium wheels have been in production since the early 1920s and provide good ductility, and relative properties above what can be made with aluminium casting. Tooling costs for gravity-cast wheels are among the cheapest of any process. This has allowed small batch production, flexibility in design and short development time. secured with parcel tape to hold it in place. Attaching cardboard to each rim will help prevent any damage to them during transport.
