Most custom alloy wheels today are cast wheels, where aluminum alloy is melted down and placed in a mold that gives the wheel its shape. The molten alloy hardens to form a wheel that is lighter than steel, yet durable enough to function as a wheel. There are two methods of casting wheels: gravity-casting and low-pressure casting.

Gravity-casting is exactly what it sounds like, where the molten alloy is poured directly into the mold using gravity and allowed to cool. This often requires thicker, heavier designs for structural integrity. For low-pressure casting, pressurized chambers are used to force the molten alloy into the mold. This compacts the alloy and reduces porosity as it cools, improving the wheel's density.

Gravity-casting has a lower production cost than than low-pressure casting, while low-pressure cast wheels have slightly less weight and improved structural strength than gravity-cast wheels. With either method, cast alloy wheels are far more affordable than forged wheels, and are perfectly suitable for the average driver's needs.
