CITIC Dicastal Wheel model
CITIC Dicastal EV Wheels
The EV Wheels range specifically targets electric vehicles, a segment in which Dicastal is investing heavily. On an electric vehicle, every kilogram removed from the wheels translates directly into a gain in range, because unsprung mass and rotating mass weigh heavily on energy efficiency. These wheels therefore combine weight reduction (optimized casting, flow forming, forging as the case may be) and, often, closed aerodynamic profiles that reduce drag. They must also support the greater weight of electric vehicles and the instant torque of their motors, which requires high load ratings. For a Quebec driver going electric, a suitable EV wheel helps preserve range, particularly valuable in cold weather where it already drops. Like Dicastal's other products, these wheels are developed as original equipment for specific models; identical replacement remains the safest way to keep the proper fitment, TPMS compatibility and required load rating.
