We do all engineering and design work in-house in our head office in Delta, BC. Forgelite wheels are produced through two manufacturing programs - Signature USA Build program and Performance Build program. Both follow Forgelite's engineering and quality requirements, while available wheel designs, manufacturing location, sourcing, finishing, and program features differ.
Our Signature USA Build program represents the ultimate Forgelite ownership experience. Signature USA Build wheels are custom made in Southern California, USA with US-sourced aerospace-grade 6061-T6 forgings and parts. We combine decades of motorsports engineering experience with state-of-the-art American manufacturing capability to produce wheels that far exceeds the demands of high-performance vehicles. Produced in lower volumes with an emphasis on precision, craftsmanship, and individual attention. Signature USA Build wheels combine Forgelite’s vehicle-specific engineering with domestic manufacturing and an elevated level of finishing, documentation, and personalization. This is the exclusive production experience and the highest level of cratfsmanship.
Not all wheels made overseas are equal. Performance Build wheels are engineered by the same Forgelite team in Delta, BC and manufactured through our established production partners in China. They produce our Performance Build aluminum wheels and forged magnesium wheel program. We do not drop ship, rebrand catalog designs, or select from a factory marketplace. We specify the materials, engineering requirements, machining processes, finishes, and QC standards for every wheel. Final inspection is completed through Forgelite's own independent quality assurance facility before shipment. We only use first-grade aerospace 6061-T6 closed-die forged aluminum forgings or AZ80 Magnesium forgings to make our Performance Build wheels. We import Made in USA Prismatic Powder to deliver consistent, vibrant, and durable wheel finishes.
