History, reputation and uses
Savini Wheels was founded in 2003 in Southern California by Babak Borhan, who built a brand centered on personal expression through automotive culture. Initially a small local manufacturer, the company quickly became a global reference in the high-end wheel market, with distribution that today extends to more than thirty countries. Its headquarters and factory are located in Anaheim, California, where the design, engineering, marketing and production teams work alongside a fleet of CNC machines and an inventory of several thousand part numbers. The majority of Savini products are forged: the Savini Forged range is the core of the lineup, machined from select aluminums in monobloc or multi-piece construction (two- and three-piece with a step-lip), with multiple profiles and a wide selection of custom finishes. Each order is treated as a bespoke piece, machined to the requested offset, center bore and profile, which explains the brand's luxury positioning and high price. Alongside the forged production, Savini offers the Black di Forza line, a more affordable range aimed at a broader audience: these models are gravity cast and benefit from flow-forming technology on the barrel, which compresses and stretches the barrel's aluminum to gain strength and lighten the part without resorting to full forging. The brand has also diversified with collections such as SV-F (originally offered in flow-form and later released in a forged version), Diamond, Luxury Series and special editions. The Savini style is recognizable by its pronounced concave profiles, deep lips and refined finishes, highly prized on prestige SUVs and exotic vehicles. In Quebec, these are mainly styling and summer-season wheels, to be ordered in a size suited to the vehicle rather than as big-box products.
Recommended use: Savini wheels primarily target luxury SUVs (Range Rover, Cadillac Escalade, Mercedes GLE/G), premium sedans and coupes, as well as exotic and sports cars. The forged range is aimed at those seeking a bespoke piece that is light and strong, configured to the vehicle's exact offset and bore. The Black di Forza line, cast and flow-formed, suits more accessible daily road use on popular sedans and SUVs. These are aftermarket styling wheels, designed for road use. In Quebec, they are generally reserved for the warm season; plan on a dedicated set of steel or alloy wheels for winter to protect the finishes from salt and calcium.
Technologies and manufacturing: Savini relies on two approaches. The flagship range is forged: the aluminum is compressed under high pressure for greater density, then CNC-machined as a monobloc or in multi-piece construction (two or three pieces with a bolted step-lip), which optimizes the strength-to-weight ratio and allows custom offsets and bores. The Black di Forza line is gravity cast with flow-forming technology: the barrel is stretched and compressed to increase strength and reduce weight compared with a simple casting. CNC machining makes it possible to tailor the offset, center bore and concave profile to the vehicle. Verify the bolt pattern, brake clearance and TPMS compatibility at installation.

Savini wheel models
Black di Forza is Savini's most affordable lineup, created to broaden the brand's audience beyond custom forged wheels. These wheels are gravity cast and benefit from flow-forming technology, which compresses and stretches the barrel's aluminum to improve strength and reduce weight compared to a simple cast. The line retains Savini's visual DNA: deep concave profiles, custom offsets and bores, and varied finishes. It is aimed at the enthusiast who wants the brand's style at a more affordable price, on everyday sedans and SUVs. The BM Series sub-line is its best-known example. In Quebec, this is a summer-season look wheel; verify bolt pattern, offset, brake clearance, and TPMS, and plan a separate winter set to preserve the finish.
View the model profile BM Series multi-piècesThe BM Series is part of Savini's Black di Forza line, the brand's most affordable. These wheels are built as a single piece (monoblock) by aluminum casting with flow-forming technology, which compresses and stretches the barrel to gain strength and lighten the piece compared to a simple cast. They offer a deep concave profile, custom offsets and bores, and a racing style inspired by the rest of the Savini family. Aimed at the enthusiast who wants the Savini look at a more affordable price than the forged lineup, the BM Series suits popular sedans and SUVs in street use. Models like the BM14 illustrate this collection. In Quebec, reserve them for the warm season and mount them according to the vehicle's bolt pattern, offset, and brake clearance.
View the model profile Concave Series monobloc forgéThe Concave Series refers to the Savini models with a pronounced concave profile, the brand's stylistic signature. The spokes dive toward the center while the lip stays deep, creating the visual depth sought on luxury SUVs and exotic vehicles. Depending on the model, this profile comes in forged monoblock or multi-piece for the high-end range, and in flow-formed cast for the more affordable Black di Forza line. The degree of concavity depends on the chosen offset: a lower offset accentuates the effect but requires verifying inner clearance and wheel well fitment. In Quebec, this is a summer look wheel to be mounted according to the vehicle's bolt pattern, offset, and brake clearance, and reserved for the warm season.
View the model profile Diamond-Lip monobloc forgéDiamond-Lip refers to the diamond-style lip of the Savini Diamond collection, where the wheel's outer lip receives a high-contrast, bright machined finish, often paired with a painted or polished center. This treatment highlights the depth of the deep lip and accentuates the concave effect sought on luxury SUVs and exotic vehicles. Depending on the configuration, these wheels rely on Savini's forged multi-piece construction, which allows the offset and bore to be tailored to the vehicle while varying the lip width. Above all, this is a premium aesthetic wheel, to be chosen for looks rather than pure performance. In Quebec, the machined lip finish is sensitive to salt and calcium: protect it and reserve it for the summer season, with a dedicated winter set.
View the model profile SV Series multi-piècesThe SV Series brings together Savini's custom forged wheels, the brand's historic core. CNC-cut from select aluminums, they come in monoblock construction as well as multi-piece (two- and three-piece with bolted lip), with several profiles and a vast choice of custom finishes. This approach allows the offset, center bore, and lip width to be precisely tailored to the vehicle, resulting in an optimized strength-to-weight ratio and luxury positioning. The SV Series targets prestige SUVs, premium sedans, and exotic cars seeking a one-of-a-kind piece. The downside is a high price and made-to-order manufacturing lead times. In Quebec, these are warm-season aesthetic wheels; check the full fitment (bolt pattern, offset, brake clearance, TPMS) and protect the finishes from winter salt.
View the model profile SV-F forgée sur mesureThe SV-F is a Savini collection originally offered with flow-forming technology, then offered in a fully forged version carrying over the same styles. The forged variant comes in 20, 21, and 22 inch sizes, with a concave step-lip profile and a wide choice of custom finishes. The concave step-lip profile combines a deep lip with raised concave spokes to gain visual presence while reducing weight. It's a line designed for high-end performance and luxury vehicles, where the SV-F delivers an optimized strength-to-weight ratio. In Quebec, it's a summer-season aesthetic rim to be ordered according to the vehicle's bolt pattern and offset; check brake clearance and TPMS compatibility at installation.

What to confirm for a compatible wheel
fitment
Point technique à valider selon le véhicule, l'usage, la dimension et les recommandations du fabricant.
entraxe
Le bolt pattern doit correspondre exactement au moyeu du véhicule. Une approximation rend la roue incompatible.
offset
Le déport détermine la position de la roue vers l'intérieur ou l'extérieur et influence le dégagement des ailes et des freins.
alésage central
Le center bore doit être compatible avec le moyeu ou corrigé avec des bagues de centrage adaptées.
indice de charge
La jante doit supporter la charge du véhicule, surtout pour VUS, camionnettes, remorques et usages commerciaux.
TPMS
Point technique à valider selon le véhicule, l'usage, la dimension et les recommandations du fabricant.
