More Structural Strength and Durability on the Track
Three-piece wheels consist of an independent center disc, inner barrel, and outer lip. These components are assembled using high strength fasteners, mechanically sealed as high performance components, and modularity allows for faster and easier repairs and service. These components perform to high standards and provide significant levels of performance, especially for high speed and high levels of track use. Independent testing has shown that three piece wheels outperform single piece wheels for higher levels of lateral load and higher numbers of fatigue cycles. Extreme High Performance Racing is able to use this design for extreme levels of cornering, hard braking, and riding curbs. Realistic track testing has proven that three-piece wheels remain in shape and in balance after punishing use.
Weight Distribution and Driving Performance
Controls and regulations regarding weight allocate a company's ability to respond to changes in both the positive and negative directions and how constructive and beneficial new 3 piece wheels can be implemented in and used as a product in various new technologies while maintaining a good strength to weight ratio. The application if the aerospace standard 6061 T6 aluminum alloy and the use of die/systems used in precision manufacturing means that these companies can control the actual weight and strength ratio of the materials used in the manufacture of the center disc and the aluminum barrels that make up a set of wheels. The weight of the suspended mass of the wheels alone allow the suspension to respond quicker to bumps, and irregularities in the road and improve the contact patch of the tire on the road and the improve the feel of the car while driving. Many owners of performance vehicles report improved throttle response, shorter stopping distance, and improved steering feel by swapping out heavy factory wheels for lightweight 3 piece wheels. The mass that rotates around the wheel contact patch is balanced, and the vehicle does not bounce or lose control while rapidly changing directions.
Customization and Configuration Options
Three piece wheels excel in the ability to be engineered and outfitted to perform on incredibly diverse vehicles. The center disc, inner barrel, and outer lip of the wheel can be designed so that the engineered components of the wheel can be used to achieve a positive or negative design that can be used in an outer diameter that is up to a larger or smaller width and adjust the lip of the wheel so that the systems design is utilized to achieve the utmost perfection in the design configuration so that the wheel is not rubbing or causing damage. Other owners can design their wheels by choosing a color, a type of finish, and a fastening/mounting style to create a design that in their own is a unique design that adds a personal characteristic to their vehicle's soul. The ultimate optimization is used on vehicles that perform at the highest level. Bringing it all together, the three piece wheel is chosen more often than not by builders of supercars and race cars to guarantee an optimization in their project that is going to both their needs and custom wheel requirements.
Modular wheels are primarily designed for superior thermal management
Effective thermal management is important for the longevity of braking components. Modular wheels improve ventilation around the braking system and help lower operating temperatures. Improper thermal management on high-performance driving situations like competitive racing can causes excessive heat build up and fade braking components. Modular wheel designs help improve ventilation throughout the breaking assembly. Less heat soaks braking components and preserves the braking pad, rotor, and overall system efficiency.
Three piece modular wheels are the perfect fit for those looking to modify their competition and street cars. Every driving enthusiast understands the importance of a modular design. Modular components helps decrease repair costs and wheel downtimes. Modular wheels are easier to refinish unlike a single piece wheel. One part can be rework without effecting the other components. Modular design allows the wheel to remain structurally sound and cosmetically up to date. Three piece wheels not only give competitive drivers the performance but also enable modern driving style. Allowing the wheels to remain up to date for the duration of the vehicle.
