Then we realized it was the owner and he also asked if we wanted a tour and of course we did. He showed us the ins and outs of how the cnc process and paint and everything works. It’s super interesting to me.

    So the forged blanks are from somewhere in California, same as where other brands in the US are buying you just design via CNC machine. The contrast with Japanese wheel factory is huge, in Japan Work wheels actually make their own alloy blanks. I still dont get why cost is so high, I assume media spend is huge budget for Rotiform.

    Where are all those crazy Rotiforms going? Because the only ones I’ve seen IRL all are the same wheel and color 😂

      They showed the custom forged line. Most of the boxes have the cast aka flow forged/formed line which is made in China or taiwan

    Wait I am so confused as to why rotiform has so many other brands. Do they outsource particular designs that are too complicated for the initial factories or what?

      Last year. Wheelpros also moved all of their custom shop from orange county to rancho Dominguez. So all of the cnc is done at this location
