Forged Rim Specification Example for Three-Wheelers: High Performance
Forged Rim Specification Example for Three-Wheelers: High Performance
This is a worked specification for forged rim in a high performance programme. It is the document we would send a buyer who asks what exactly they are getting: the material, the dimensions that are actually controlled, the finish, and the checks that happen before anything is packed.
The high performance version exists because the duty cycle on three-wheelers is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually a supplier who changed material without saying so.
Example specification
| Item | Forged Rim |
|---|---|
| Application | Three-Wheelers |
| Version | High Performance |
| Base material | Chromed Steel |
| Controlled dimensions | 3 key dimensions, recorded per lot |

How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Chromed Steel, in this example.
- List the dimensions that are actually controlled and the tolerance on each.
- Name the finish and what it has to survive.
- State the inspection level and who pays when a lot fails.
Processes involved
- cold forging
- robot welding
- CNC machining
- heat treatment
- ultrasonic cleaning
- powder coating
Where this example applies
Programmes that run high performance most often specify this build for three-wheelers. Related applications include three-wheelers, rental motorcycles, utility trailers, fleet maintenance, boat trailers.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 2.5 sampling on the finished lot.
- Finish inspection under agreed lighting.
- Carton drop test on the first lot of a new packing specification.
Questions buyers ask
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 14 working days, and each revision round adds about 5 days once you have seen the first piece.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 2000 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
Can you match an existing sample?
Send a sample and we will reverse-engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk starts.
How is packing specified?
Individual packing, inner box quantity and carton marking are confirmed at quotation stage so the cartons arrive ready for your warehouse.
Send the part number, the annual volume and the target market, and we will come back with a specification and a sampling plan.
