From the RAYS Website (http://www.rayswheels.co.jp/indexe.html):
"Inspired by Formula 1 Technology. These are a forged one piece aluminum wheel. They are made from the finest aircraft grade 6061 aluminium.
"The wheels are made by a process called hot forging. A solid piece of aluminum billet is heated and is shaped applying compressive force from a press. The first forging process is performed with a pressure of 5,000 kg’s per cm2. In the second forging process 3,500 kg’s are applied per cm2. The lip is also forged to 3,500 kilograms per cm2. Forging refines the grain structure and improves the physical properties of the metal. With the advanced RAYS design process the grain flow can be oriented in the direction of principal stresses encountered in actual use.
"Grain flow is the direction of the pattern that the crystals take during forging. Physical properties (such as strength, ductility and toughness) are much better in a forging than in the base metal, which has, crystals randomly oriented. The excess material left on the wheel is then machined off (to tolerance of 1/100 of a millimetre). Powder coating and clear coating is done by a special proprietary process to ensure long lasting quality and durability.
"This is why forged wheels can be made much lighter and stronger than an equivalent cast wheel, as less material can be used for a much higher equivalent strength. Cheap wheels are gravity cast, and during this process microscopic air bubbles form in the casting, weakening the structure further over the original material.
"The new "racing equipment" line of wheel derived from Rays Engineering Formula 1 testing. 30% increase in rigidity compared to the TE-37 and CE-28N wheel with out addition of mass. Clean "split seven spoke" design."
Got round to doing a shoot of my own car at last :D
Had my mr2 for 4 years now and I have loved all the ups and downs of ownership!
It is now finally how I want it, so I thought I would take the time to do some pictures of it, and show it off :)
