Wheel rating standards are essential for ensuring safety and reliability in the automotive industry. The SAE, JWL, and VIA standards are among the most comprehensive and widely recognized in the field. At 41 Forged, we subject our wheels to rigorous testing according to these standards, guaranteeing that you receive a high-quality wheel. All of our wheels are JWL & VIA certified.

JWL Ratings

The Japanese Light Alloy Wheel (JWL) standard is primarily used by Japanese manufacturers and is similar to the SAE system, with additional testing requirements. JWL testing includes the same assessments as SAE ratings, along with a roundness test to ensure the wheels are free from deformities.

A key difference between JWL and SAE ratings is that JWL requires manufacturers to have their wheels inspected and approved by a certified third-party lab, ensuring the credibility and consistency of the ratings.

VIA Ratings

The Vehicle Inspection Association (VIA), a non-profit organization established in Japan in 1987, bases its standards on the JWL criteria. The VIA standard is highly regarded in the automotive industry and mandates that manufacturers adhere to strict guidelines when producing wheels. To achieve VIA certification, wheel manufacturers must follow VIA's design specifications and undergo comprehensive testing to meet specific quality standards.

We take the time to ensure that every detail meets 41 Forged standards for fit, finish, and performance. Shipping times may vary based on your location, but we try to deliver a high-quality product in the shortest possible timeframe.

If you're interested in purchasing a set of 41 Forged wheels, please contact us via email at 41forged@gmail.com or click the "getquote" from our website. Our team will have a detailed conversation about your vehicle and the specific requirements for your 41 Forged wheel order. Once you've chosen the wheel model, size, finish, and other options, we'll send you a formal invoice. After reviewing and confirming the accuracy of the invoice, a non-refundable deposit of 50% will be necessary.

We accept all major debit and credit cards, as well as PayPal. Upon payment processing, we'll provide you with rendering drawings within 2-4 days of receiving the deposit. These drawings will illustrate the concavity and/or lip size of your wheels. Once the buyer approves the renderings, we will then move forward with the manufacturing process.

The Manufacturing process typically takes about 4 weeks on average, depending on various factors. Once your wheels are finished, we will send you a completion photo. After you confirm this photo, we will charge the remaining 50% balance, ship your wheels, and provide a tracking number.  All shipments require a signature upon delivery.

​POWDER COATING FINISHES

We offer several powder coat options. These strong finishes distinguish themselves in the industry with their depth, uniformity, and impeccably smooth texture. While solid powder lacks transparency, it comes in both glossy and matte variations for each color. Solid finishes offer exceptional durability, strength, and a wide array of color options.

BRUSHED / POLISHED FINISHES

A brushed or polished finish involves a transparent layer of powder coat in various colors applied over a meticulously crafted brushed or polished aluminum surface. The chosen color allows the details of the wheels to stand out in the sunlight, giving them a more luxurious appearance and feel.

These finishes often add manufacturing time to the order.
