URBAN X VOSSEN - A PARTNERSHIP SPANNING A DECADE
MARCH 1st - 2024
When the biggest modifier of luxury SUV’s and performance vehicles comes together with one of the best wheel manufacturers in the world, the results are guaranteed to be special.
In the below Youtube Special, Urban CEO Simon Dearn talks about how the partnership with Vossen came about and the near decade long history between Vossen KJ and Urban. From the first UV-1 for Range Rover to the latest UV-7 for Rolls Royce, Vossen & Urban are continuously on the forefront of luxury styling crafting the perfect stance.
The Vossen Forged Factory uses ten brand new CNC machines to manufacture wheels. Vertical lathes use gravity to achieve superior concentricity and runout while mills with high rigidity and spindle speeds reduce cycle time and produce smoother surface finishes.
Headquartered in Miami, Florida, Vossen’s state of the art facility features a comprehensive array of brand new machinery paired alongside some of the best wheel designers and processes in the world. Vossen has developed a proprietary eight-step machining process that allows them to achieve the most uncompromising design and quality standards for forged wheels. Precise fitments are achieved by taking measurements from over 100 data points around the car, leading to CAD models that are tested using Finite Element Analysis to ensure SAE compliance while maximizing concavity.
The Hand Prep Department is responsible for prepping the wheel for its final surface finish. Wheels with brushed or polished finishes undergo an additional amount of hand prep, creating a very artisanal look that can only come from an educated hand.
Vossen Forged wheels are made of aerospace grade 6061-T6 aluminum. Heat treated for additional integrity, the UV series monoblock forgings yield quality equal to the raw materials used by the world’s top OEM automakers. The quality control team confirms every critical dimension according to detailed engineering schematics to confirm runout that is within tolerance.
Vossen’s manufacturing facilities include a wide array of finishing options, such as ceramic polishing, hand-brushing, and powder coating. By bringing every facet of wheel production in-house, Vossen has full control of the finished product, guaranteeing that every wheel that ships is of exceptional quality and precision.
Vossen’s in-house finishing facility utilizes state of the art equipment to produce only the highest quality finishes. From ceramic coating to power coating, all Vossen Forged wheels maintain industry-leading quality.
Vossen offers a wide range of color options and finishes - guaranteed to make your wheels stand out.
