Aura Forged Brand

Singapore's most discerning automotive enthusiasts face a unique challenge when upgrading their Ferrari or Porsche. These aren't simply expensive cars—they're precision-engineered machines where every component affects performance. The wheels supporting a Ferrari 296 GTB or Porsche 911 GT3 RS must meet extraordinarily specific requirements that go far beyond aesthetics. Over three decades managing automotive brands across ASEAN, I've watched Singapore's supercar community gro

The moment a Mercedes-AMG GT S owner fits proper forged wheels, something fundamental changes. It's not just the visual transformation—though that's immediate and striking. It's the way the car responds: sharper, more connected, more alive through every corner. Our   AMG GT S customer build  proved this within the first drive. Mercedes-AMG GT S Forged Wheels by Aura Forged Similarly, when a BMW X5 owner in Singapore switches from factory cast wheels to engineered forged alter

After weeks of design refinement and FEA validation, Angelo Magtoto's AR-i8 wheels moved from digital blueprints into production. The renderings we approved became CNC programming. The stress simulations became quality control benchmarks. This is what happens when engineering meets execution.

Angelo Magtoto's Toyota GR Supra A90 weighs 1,520 kg with driver and generates 2+ G cornering loads during time attack sessions. His wheels needed to handle that reality, not just look good doing it. After our partnership announcement with Angelo , we moved straight into engineering his custom AR-i8 wheels . Here's how consultation became validated design. Key Takeaways Custom AR-i8 wheels: 18x11, ET35, PCD 5x112, CB 66.5mm, hyper silver finish FEA testing shows 110 MPa max s

I've watched the same wheel model transform completely depending on how it's fitted. Same design, same finish, same vehicle model even, but entirely different visual results. Fitment isn't just technical specification. It's the language through which you communicate your automotive perspective. Aggressive stance signals one mindset. Conservative flush fitment suggests another. Both are valid expressions; both require intentional decision-making. Throughout my three decades in

The question comes up in nearly every consultation: "Which finish should I choose?" It's rarely about what's popular or what someone else recommends. The finish you select says something about how you see yourself, how you want your car to present itself, and what kind of attention you're comfortable attracting. After 30 years working with automotive enthusiasts across Southeast Asia, I've learned that finish selection is deeply personal. Some drivers want their wheels to dom

When I'm consulting with customers across Southeast Asia about their wheel upgrades, the conversation often centers on size, design, and finish. But there's something more fundamental that rarely gets the attention it deserves: balance and runout. After three decades in automotive brand management, I've seen how these two technical specifications quietly determine whether a wheel delivers precision or produces problems. Most drivers experience the effects without understandin

Last month, a customer contacted us about fitting lighter wheels to his Tesla Model Y. His logic seemed sound: electric vehicles benefit from reduced unsprung weight, so lighter wheels should improve range and performance. He'd found cast wheels meeting his size requirements and bolt pattern. What he missed was a critical specification that could have compromised his family's safety. The wheels he'd selected carried a load rating of 650 kilograms per wheel. His Model Y, with

When I first entered the automotive industry in the late 80s, wheel manufacturing was a different world. Manual machining dominated, tolerances were measured in fractions that seemed acceptable, and consistency between batches remained a persistent challenge. Today, Computer Numerical Control has transformed this landscape entirely. At Aura Forged , CNC machining represents more than manufacturing efficiency; it embodies our commitment to precision engineering. Every wheel re

Three years ago, a distributor approached me about carrying a new wheel brand. The pricing looked attractive, the designs appeared modern, and the marketing promised "premium quality at accessible pricing." When I asked about certifications, the representative assured me the wheels met "international standards" and pointed to several acronyms stamped on the samples. Something felt wrong. The JWL marking looked slightly off. The VIA stamp seemed too uniform, lacking the variat

Design in the automotive world often falls into two extremes: uninspired copies that chase trends, or artistic statements that prioritize aesthetics over engineering reality. After thirty years building automotive brands across Southeast Asia, I've witnessed both approaches fail to serve drivers who want wheels that perform as beautifully as they look. Aura Forged Iconic Series Forged Wheels At Aura Forged , our design philosophy refuses this false choice. We believe iconic w

In thirty years of managing automotive brands across Southeast Asia, I've visited dozens of wheel manufacturing facilities. From state-of-the-art forging operations in Japan to emerging facilities across Asia, I've witnessed the full spectrum of manufacturing quality and credibility. Here's what surprised me early in my career: two factories can produce wheels that look nearly identical in photographs, yet one operates under rigorous international quality standards while the

After three decades managing automotive brands across Southeast Asia, I've watched countless trends fade into irrelevance. But one constant remains: the relentless pursuit of performance without compromise. At Aura Forged , we chose 6061-T6 aluminum not because it sounds impressive in marketing materials, but because it represents the singular material that refuses to bend on strength, weight, or safety. Every Aura wheel begins as a solid billet of 6061-T6 aerospace-grade alu

A Champion Who Embodies Excellence In motorsports, true champions aren't just defined by their trophies; they're defined by their relentless pursuit of perfection, lap after lap. Angelo Magtoto exemplifies this spirit in every race, making him the perfect partner to repres

Thirty years in the automotive industry taught me something fundamental: the gap between what enthusiasts deserve and what the market offers them has grown unconscionably wide. I've watched premium forged wheel brands price themselves into exclusivity. Brands like HRE, Volk Racing, and Forgeline command $1,500-$4,000+ per wheel. While replica manufacturers flood the market with wheels that compromise safety for affordability. The middle ground, where precision engineering mee

Most car enthusiasts see wheels as the “jewelry” that completes a vehicle’s look. At Aura Forged , we see more. Wheels are one of the most critical performance components you can invest in. It is the only part of your car’s suspension that also transmits 100% of its power to the road. Take weight off power, and everything changes: acceleration sharpens, braking improves, handling feels tighter, and every drive becomes more responsive. Here’s why forged wheels make all the dif
