Abstract
The increased popularity of the cast nonferrous styled wheel has created a need for performance testing of these wheels. Styled wheels are normally used on the same applications as standard OEM steel wheels so they should be expected to pass the same test requirements. However, the difference in physical properties of the two materials dictates a change in test load as well as a redesign in some commonly accepted test equipment.
