Picking a Dually Wheel: Cast vs. Forged

Choosing the right wheels for your dually truck can be overwhelming. With so many brands, styles, finishes, and offsets to consider, it’s easy to get lost in the options. Do you go with cast or forged? Is the wheel rated for your day-to-day use and towing needs? How far will it stick out? These are all important questions when selecting the perfect dually wheels.

At Dually Wheels Canada, we make it easy to navigate your options so you can find wheels that fit your truck, your style, and your performance needs.

Wheel Structure – Cast vs. Forged

One of the first decisions you’ll need to make is whether to go with Cast or forged dually wheels. Forged wheels tend to cost more, but the benefits often outweigh the price difference.

Cast Wheels – These are the standard, everyday wheels you’ll see on many trucks. Cast wheels are made by pouring aluminum into a mold, letting it cool, treating it, and then running it through CNC machining to refine the edges. They’re simple, effective, and budget-friendly.

Forged Wheels – Forged wheels are crafted from a single block of aluminum or metal. The material is heated, pressurized, and then shaped using CNC operations to create the final design. The result is a stronger, lighter, and more refined wheel.

Key Benefits of Forged Wheels:

• Lighter weight – Reduces unsprung mass, improving performance and torque.

• Stronger construction – Can carry higher load ratings than cast wheels, ideal for towing and heavy payloads.

• Refined styling – CNC-milled edges and detailed designs that can’t be replicated in cast wheels.

While forged wheels used to be fully custom and expensive, many manufacturers now offer pre-built forged options. These wheels come ready to ship with a slight reduction in customization but maintain the strength and style benefits of traditional forged construction.
