The best Russian manufacturers of alloy wheels
A wide range of products of this type is represented by domestic manufacturers. The best of these brands are included in our rating as a separate category.
5 Tech line
Country: Russia
Rating (2022): 4.5
The manufacturer produces more than 200 models with a wide range of sizes. Individuality is provided by the use of 12 different color variations of the protective paintwork. The spokes of the wheels are made in different styles - there are classic and sports models. A wide variety of design solutions are presented in products for crossovers and SUVs, with a radius of R 16 to R 20.
Among the model range, the VENTI line stands out, which is produced according to the latest technologies and has a lighter weight (10-15% lower than conventional casting). For this, low pressure technology is used, as a result of which no voids are formed inside the workpiece. This increases strength and reduces the possibility of microcracks during operation.
4 X trike
Country: Russia
Rating (2022): 4.5
The domestic manufacturer uses modern equipment (capacities of the K&K concern), which makes it possible to produce high-quality wheel products in accordance with Russian and European standards.The dimensions of the wheels allow them to be installed on more than 200 models of modern passenger cars, including SUVs (disk radius from 16 inches and above).

3 iFree
Country: Russia
Rating (2022): 4.7
iFree has an attractive price and a huge range of models, each of which is represented by a wide range of sizes. Products with a radius of R 16 are in the greatest demand, which are equally suitable for most crossovers and many passenger cars.

This will protect the wheel from curb damage (the most common problem in city driving).
The quality of the castings produced today is highly attractive on the Russian market (the production facilities of K&K are involved). In addition, a large and varied selection is offered, allowing each owner to give individuality to his car.
