SERVICE
Bespoke wheel design from concept to production. From CAD to billet, forged or cast wheels that make cars stand apart.

About this service
We believe that wheels are the part that makes the car. By making wheels the statement part of the vehicle we can differentiate and show the purpose of a car. Are we giving it Nike carbon running shoes or Louboutins?
With the production of wheels overseas becoming easier to reach, it might seem that creating wheels is becoming easier. If you want to create designs however that stretch what CNC machines can do and want to make the wheels safe, there are only a few manufacturers that will be able to do the job. That's why we work with selected partners that we can trust.
Our clients work with us from the initial sketch through design, production, testing and the final assembly. We as Tornante Studio believe that clients don't want the hassle, so we take care of all steps to get you the right wheels for your project.
Steps of the project
We always start with visual designs to make sure we’re all aligned. Everything we do is made in CAD so we never waste resources and can build on top of designs we made earlier. We export these designs both as flat images (JPEGs) and as 3D designs that you can view anywhere.
We’ve developed our own Tornante AI Studio so we can show you your wheels on any car, in any environment you want.
Based on the visual design we can find the right supplier for your wheels. Based on the design, the technical setup and the application we work with different suppliers. No matter if you want to go forged, 2 piece, 3 piece or carbon fiber, we can find you the right supplier that you can trust.
We need to select the supplier before we make the final design so we can make sure we work according to the specifications of the suppliers and we can prevent iterations on specs later.
Now that we have a direction for the design of the wheel and we know who is going to make it, we can start the last phase of designing. We make sure the wheel works in real life by figuring out how and where we position valve stems and wheel caps, and how we cover parts like the bolts. This is the most exciting time for us since we need to get everything packaged within the design we agreed upon. The coolest puzzle if you ask us!
To be fair, this is not a separate step. We do this during the technical design phase and at every step. We test the wheels on strength and rigidity, but also on how hard or easy they are to make. We know how CNC machines and carbon molds work so we can keep that in mind with the design of a wheel.
Based on your production quantity and the country you’re using the wheels in, tests need to be done to prove their safety. We can help you with these tests and provide all the necessary information and documentation to pass them with flying colors.
Even though we don’t make the wheels ourselves, we always stay involved during the development so you don’t have to worry about questions during development. Leave that up to us.

Pricing
We divide developing a wheel in the following phases with the corresponding costs:
Production of the wheels depends on the sizes, material and finish and can range from €1.500,- up to €15.000,- for Bugatti Veyron size wheels that need to withstand speeds of 400 km/h.
TÜV certification and production costs for series production are calculated separately.
