What are 1-piece wheels, 2-piece wheels, and 3-piece wheels?

The left is a 1-piece wheel hub.

The middle is a 2-piece wheel hub.

The right is a 3-piece wheel hub.

Forged wheels can be divided into 1-piece, 2-piece, and 3-piece types. 

The difference lies in the manufacturing process of the wheel.

A one-piece wheel refers to a complete unit, while a two-piece wheel consists of a rim and a width section.

Two-part wheels are fixed together using high-strength bolts.

2-piece forging allows for different colors on the wheel sections.

Due to the complexity of the forging process, these wheels tend to have higher prices.

The advantages of multi-part wheels are as follows:

1. The rims part can be shared and it is easy to change styles by replacing different center plates.

2.Various sizes of rims and widths can be matched and combined for personalized customization.

3.As both the wheel and center plate can be disassembled, it facilitates customized designs with various shapes for the wheel section.

However, there are also some disadvantages with multi-part wheels:

1.They tend to have heavier weight compared to other types.

2.Their dynamic balance performance may not be particularly good.

3.Multi-part wheels require high assembly standards due to their consideration for sealing performance.

In brief,different types of wheel designs bring more diverse, aesthetically pleasing, and practical choices to cars. Whether it is a 1-piece, 2-piece, or 3-piece wheel, they can all showcase the car owner's attitude towards taste and pursuit of excellent driving experience through their unique styles while meeting safety performance requirements.
