Ever wonder what the complete process of forging looks like? There's a 14-step process, and it starts here with raw aluminum. Each Apex wheel starts with 6061 aluminum alloy that’s been extruded into a log-shaped form, then x-rayed for impurities. Each extrusion is 30 to 40 feet long and weighs 1,700 to 2,500 pounds. It’s surprising how much mass goes into making a lightweight wheel. Want to see the full forging process? Read more about how forged wheels are made on our website: https://bit.ly/4
