A separate product line
Forged Wheels
CMST Forged is its own product line, not an accessory to the aero kits. Every wheel is forged from 6061 aerospace aluminum and machined to order, in monoblock or two-piece construction, to the size, offset, color and finish the customer specifies.
Two constructions
The choice is mostly about how far the offset has to travel and what the customer wants the barrel to look like.
MONOBLOCK
16 designs · 15–25 daysOne-piece forged, machined from a single billet. Lighter, fewer parts, nothing to reseal — but the barrel width is fixed by the blank.
All 16 monoblock designs
TWO-PIECE
20 designs · 25–35 daysForged center bolted to a separate barrel. Width, offset and lip depth stop depending on the face, which is why wide-arch builds go this way.
All 20 two-piece designs
The designs shown here are the current CMST Forged catalog. Anything outside it can be cut to a customer's drawing — send the sizing and the fitment and we will quote the tooling with it.
Specification
| Spec | Detail | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| MATERIAL | 6061 aerospace aluminum | Forged, then machined — the face is cut from solid, not cast to shape |
| CONSTRUCTION | Monoblock or two-piece | Two-piece covers the wider offset range |
| SIZING | Diameter, width and offset made to order | Send the vehicle and the fitment; wide-arch builds need the arch data too |
| FINISHES | Custom colors and styles | Electroplating and carbon wrapping available, each with its own lead time |
| TESTING | Safety, load and runout checked before packing | Load, balance and runout tested on the rig before packing |
| MINIMUM ORDER | Four wheels | Wheels can be added to an aero order — there is no separate account minimum |
Surcharges for finishes and carbon lips are listed under Finishes. The base price of a wheel depends on construction, diameter and width, and is quoted per order — quotes come back with the lead time attached.
Finishes
Twenty-eight finishes on the standard chart
The chart below is what gets quoted without a surcharge — matte, gloss, pearl and brushed, across silver, gray, black, white, bronze, gold, copper and color. Anything off the chart is matched to a sample; electroplating and carbon wrapping are separate processes with their own lead times.
Finish is quoted per set, not per wheel, and the lead times on this page assume a chart finish. Electroplating adds about 5 days and carbon wrapping about 10 — confirmed against the production schedule when the order is placed, and flagged earlier in peak season.
Option surcharges
Construction, diameter and width are priced by the option selected. The processes below are quoted on top of that.
- Construction — monoblock or two-piece

- Diameter, 16–28 inch
- priced as the option selected
- Width
- priced as the option selected, +$30 every half inch over 10 inches
- Carbon fiber lip — two-piece only
- woven carbon +$220 / forged carbon +$340
- Carbon fiber inner lip — two-piece only
- woven carbon +$220 / forged carbon +$340
- Brushed finish
- +$40
- Fine polish
- +$50
- Chrome (electroplating)
- +$100
How a wheel is made
Cut from solid, tested before it is packed
Six stages, in the same order every time. The last stage is the test rig: every wheel is load-, balance- and runout-tested before it is packed.
013D DESIGN
The design is drawn in 3D against the vehicle's hub and brake clearances.
02DRAWING SIGN-OFF
Sizing, offset and spoke design are confirmed with the buyer before any metal moves.
03MACHINING & FINISHING
The face is machined from the forged blank under coolant, then finished to the order — paint, brushing, polishing, electroplating or carbon wrapping.
04ASSEMBLY
Two-piece wheels are bolted and sealed; monoblock wheels go straight to test.
05SAFETY & LOAD TEST
Load, balance and runout are checked on the rig before packing.
06PACKING
Sets are boxed with the hardware and center caps, labeled and packed for export.
Ordering and lead time
Monoblock wheels run 15–25 days and two-piece wheels 25–35 days. Electroplating adds five days and carbon wrapping adds ten — apply those on top of the construction time, not instead of it.
Minimum order is a set of four. Wheels can be mixed into an aero order, so a shop testing the line does not have to place a separate wheel-only order to get trade terms.
Lead time is confirmed against the production schedule at the point the order is confirmed. In peak season the schedule extends, and CMST flags that before the order is placed — never after.
On the car
Fitted
CMST kit cars running CMST Forged. Sizing on each of these was set from the vehicle's hub, brake and arch data before the wheels were cut.
Questions buyers ask
Can you make a size that is not in the catalog?+
Yes. Diameter, width and offset are made to order, and a design can be cut to a customer's own drawing. Send the vehicle, the fitment and — for a wide-arch build — the arch data, and the quote will include the tooling.
Do you supply single wheels?+
The minimum is a set of four. Wheels can be added to an aero order, so there is no separate minimum on the account.
How long do custom finishes take?+
Electroplating adds five days to the construction lead time and carbon wrapping adds ten. Both are confirmed against the production schedule when the order is placed.
What testing does each wheel get?+
Load, balance and runout testing is a standard step in the production sequence, done before packing — not an optional extra quoted separately.
Are wheel prices published?+
No. Wheel pricing depends on construction, size, finish and account terms. Request a quote and it comes back with the lead time.
Send the fitment and the finish
Quotes come back with construction options, finish choices and a lead time. Tuning shops and distributors only.
