Redefine Performance with X-CORE® Wheels

Lost Core Molded Wheels: Revolutionizing Performance

The X-CORE® Advantage

CEW’s X-CORE® wheels represent the pinnacle of wheel technology, engineered using our patented lost core molding process. This advanced technique allows us to create lightweight, incredibly strong, and structurally superior wheels without the need for welds, bolts, or other attachments.

How It Works

Our lost core molding process involves three key steps:

Core Casting

A low-temperature metal core is injected into the mold to form the internal structure of the wheel.

Over Molding

High-performance composite material is injected around the core, creating the outer shell.

Melt Out

The metal core is melted away, leaving behind a hollow, single-piece wheel with exceptional strength and weight reduction.

Unmatched Performance

X-CORE® wheels offer numerous advantages:

Lightweight: Our wheels are significantly lighter than traditional wheel designs.
Strong and Durable: The single-piece construction provides exceptional strength and durability.
Customizable: We offer a range of materials and designs to meet your specific needs.
High Performance: Ideal for demanding applications requiring maximum performance.

Materials

Our X-CORE® wheels are available in two high-performance composite materials:

Glass fiber reinforced nylon for exceptional strength and durability.
Carbon fiber composite for ultimate lightweight performance.
