ROTA TE37 CONCAVE SOFTWARE

Every piece of forged aluminum has a grain just like a piece of wood. The reason for the special forging process is to avoid disrupting the flow of the grain. Rays Engineering uses a unique process known as mold-form-forging, where the shape of the wheel is created during the forging process, rather than being cut out from a chunk of forged aluminum. This process is known as machine forging. For nearly all forged wheels, the desired wheel shape is cut from a large piece of forged aluminum. What makes the TE37's stronger than the large majority of forged wheels is their unique forging process. Forging simply increases the strength of the material, meaning less material is required to reach the target strength level, ultimately creating a lighter and stronger wheel. The TE37 is a forged wheel, which starts its life as a chunk of aluminum which is subjected to high temperatures and high pressures to form a more dense and compressed piece of aluminum. The special blend also helps with thermal conductivity, ultimately helping your brakes stay within their ideal operating temperature on track. The special 100% aluminum blend makes the material lighter and stronger, allowing the wheel to resist deformation under heavy loads such as rough roads or high g-force corning on a race track. The special blend isn't easily replicated and it's something very few companies haven?t been able to replicate. The base material used to construct a TE37 is Rays Engineering's special A6061-T6 blend is 100% aluminum, where many other 'aluminum' wheels are only 80% aluminum. Part of their popularity stems from their incredibly unique construction method. FEA allows engineers to simulate stressful situations and determine where potential weak points may occur before manufacturing a single rim. On the road, a wheel’s outer rim undergoes significant amounts of stress during cornering while the inner portion is critical to the wheel’s ability to maintain appropriate tire grip.

Analysisīefore anything can be developed, RAYS makes use of complicated FEA (Finite Element Analysis) software to determine whether or not a particular design doesn’t just look good but is structurally sound.

In fact, Rays’ entire operation is based out of Japan, where all of the company’s design, manufacturing and marketing efforts are conducted, which ensures the sort of quality RAYS expects, and that JDM fanboys, like us here, can sleep soundly every night. And since 1996, the TE37 has been manufactured solely in Japan. Once considered a luxury reserved for the likes of formula cars that you can’t afford, RAYS helped introduce forged wheel technology to people like us with its Volk Racing line. Volk’s TE37 dates back to 1996, when Japanese wheel manufacturer RAYS first released its one-piece forged aluminum wheel to consumers. And, well, strong wheels, they don’t break. In terms of racing, it’s a matchup that’s essential: the more rigid the wheel, the better torque can be transmitted to the tires and, ultimately, to the road. Together, those characteristics are what make a wheel like this so distinctive. The TE37 adds two other important elements, though: strength and rigidity. If that’s all you care about, you’ve got plenty to chose from. They're incredibly popular for JDM vehicles, but it's not uncommon to see them on European or American vehicles as well. They've been popular for decades and even with minor design changes, the TE37 continues to be one of the most popular wheels out there. Due to the sophisticated flange design used to reinforce strength on the TE37, the inner barrel and flange has been built to clear the Model 3 factory suspension, factory spindle, factory UCA, factory brakes front + rear ( yes, even performance brakes), and is designed as a 100% bolt-on affair! We pride ourselves in our ability to meet all of these criteria for the worldwide Tesla market, while doing so in a proven and scientific fashion (not to mention in various beautiful finishes!)
