History, reputation and uses

American Force was founded in 1995 in Miami, Florida, under the leadership of Ray Shadravan, who initially built custom wheels for import and domestic sport cars in South Florida. In 2003, the company pivoted to the truck market, which was then underserved in premium wheels, and carried out three-quarter-ton and one-ton pickup conversions to showcase its designs. American Force became one of the first players in the custom truck wheel market and the first to offer fully forged dually wheels (paired rear wheels). The visibility gained in the mid-2000s propelled the brand, which went on to establish itself as a benchmark in the forged segment for trucks, Jeeps, SUVs, and UTVs. Manufacturing is at the heart of American Force's identity: each wheel begins as a solid block of 6061 aerospace aluminum, pressed under heat and high pressure to realign the metal's grain, then T6 heat-treated to gain hardness and strength. The blanks are then CNC-machined on HAAS centers, which allows shapes, concavity depths, and offsets that are impossible to cast. The current plant in York, South Carolina, covers roughly 220,000 sq. ft. and houses more than 25 CNC mills, an automated powder-coating line, and an integrated wheel foundry, the company having added a more affordable cast line alongside its forged core. American Force is now owned by the Hoonigan group. The catalog covers dually, super single, big rig, concave faceplate, high offset, and zerolip configurations, with diameters ranging from roughly 19.5 to 28 in. The brand is highly present in the show-truck and diesel scenes, where its machined look, polished finishes, and custom fitment are sought after.

Recommended use: Recommended use: American Force is aimed first and foremost at full-size pickups and heavy diesels (Ford Super Duty, RAM HD, GM HD), lifted or not, as well as dually configurations with paired rear wheels. The lineup also covers SUVs, Jeeps, and UTVs. These are aftermarket customization and show wheels, not OEM fitment: you choose them for the machined style, the large diameters (up to 28 in.), and the pronounced offsets. For use in Quebec, validate the bolt pattern, offset, center bore, and load rating with the intended application, especially on heavy axles and dually setups where payload is critical.

Technologies and manufacturing: Technologies and manufacturing: The core process is forging from a solid block of 6061 aluminum, compressed under heat and high pressure to align the metal's grain, then hardened by T6 heat treatment. This structure produces wheels that are stronger than a cast wheel and allows geometries (concavity, offset, barrel depth) unattainable by casting. Final machining is done by CNC on HAAS centers, ensuring the precision of the mounting faces and repeatability. American Force also operates an in-house foundry for a more accessible cast line. Finishes are applied via automated powder coating, with polished options available. Since the wheels are manufactured in the United States and engineered for heavy loads, verify the load rating according to the axle rather than assuming an approval.
