With The DYMAG® OEM Carbon Wheel Programme…
Many OEMs want to bring an official carbon wheel programme to market but face challenges such as high development costs, complex validation requirements and extended lead times. These barriers have traditionally made carbon wheel adoption difficult to justify within new model programmes.
DYMAG® has unlocked a faster, more cost-efficient route. By pairing our fully certified BX-F™ carbon barrels with bespoke forged aluminium or magnesium centrepieces designed to meet each OEM’s design language and performance requirements, we now enable carbon wheel programmes to launch significantly faster and at a lower investment level.
BX-F™ – A Proven Carbon Platform That Reduces Time-to-Market
By using DYMAG’s pre-validated BX-F™ carbon barrels as the foundation, OEMs can bypass one of the biggest cost and timing barriers – carbon rim tooling and testing.
As a guide, using BX-F™ barrels reduces the typical project scope from:
- USD 100k-1m+ to USD 10k-90k in NRE investment
- 12-36 months down to 3-6 months in development time
Final figures depend on programme scope and validation standards, but the advantage is clear: OEMs can access a certified carbon wheel platform without committing to the tooling and re-qualification overheads of a full ground-up carbon wheel programme.
What Makes This Approach Faster and More Cost-Efficient
BX-F™ simplifies engineering, tooling and validation by eliminating unnecessary duplication. Instead of re-testing an entire wheel design, the validation focus is targeted only where it needs to be – the forged centre and assembly. This means OEMs benefit from proven carbon technology, scalable size options from 18-23”, and the flexibility to define wheel styling and branding without compromise.
This modular approach also allows OEMs to leverage DYMAG’s extensive motorsport and aftermarket experience, ensuring every wheel design benefits from proven real-world performance data. The BX-F™ platform has already been validated across demanding use cases, giving OEM engineers confidence in its durability, stiffness, and performance consistency while still offering full creative freedom in design and specification.
Your investment is limited to the centre design, one forging die per style, assembly fixtures and targeted validation. You avoid the costly and drawn-out process of carbon rim tooling, broad rim re-qualification and multiple supply chain mark-ups.
