BYD Sealion 7 on LFI forged wheels in Singapore EV fitment reference
EV Fitment Cluster

Chinese EVForged WheelsSingapore

BYD, XPeng, Deepal, Aion, and Smart EVs do not share one wheel recipe. Their PCD, centre bore, axle load, tyre load index and brake package can be completely different. LFI starts from the exact car, then builds the forged wheel around load, range, brake clearance and road use.

LFI EVFitment Data

These are LFI guide and manifest references, used to set a proven starting direction before the exact vehicle is checked. Chinese EV fitment still has to be confirmed by model, variant, tyre plan and brake package before machining.

BYD Sealion 7

Customer builds
Multiple photo-backed LFI customer references
PCD / bore
5x120 / 64.1
Typical direction
19x8 ET26, 19x8.5 ET30, 20x8.5 ET30, 20x8 / 20x9

For the Sealion 7, LFI plans around its weight as an EV crossover: load rating first, then tyre choice, then brake clearance.

Chinese EV platforms can vary widely in PCD and centre bore, so LFI checks the exact model before machining.

Why EVLoad Changes Wheels

A Chinese EV can look compact and still carry a large battery pack. The wheel and tyre package has to carry that mass, handle instant motor torque, clear the brake hardware and keep the car usable on Singapore roads.

1

Wheel load

Start with the actual vehicle and axle/load context, then choose a per-wheel target that suits the EV and how it will be driven.

2

Tyre load

The tyre load index must support the vehicle. Wheel width, tyre size and load index are specified together.

3

Torque cycles

Instant motor torque and regen braking put repeated load through the hub, spoke roots and barrel structure.

4

Aero trade-off

A forged wheel can reduce weight, but spoke openness and tyre choice still affect range. The final spec has to balance all three.

Sealion 7Heavy EV Proof

The current LFI BYD Sealion 7 guide is the clearest EV example: 5x120 PCD, 64.1 mm centre bore, 19-inch and 20-inch customer records, and a load-margin discussion built around EV crossover mass rather than normal passenger-car assumptions.

950 kg

Preferred target in guide

The Sealion 7 guide states a 950 kg per-wheel preferred target for road use, fast driving and extra EV crossover reserve.

2,000 Nm

Torque-load review

The guide also discusses approximately 2,000 Nm per wheel as a static torque-load target under conservative dry-braking validation.

19 / 20

Road-use sizing

Recorded Sealion 7 directions include 19x8 ET26, 19x8.5 ET30, 20x8.5 ET30 and 20x8 / 20x9 staggered references.

How LFIBuilds The Spec

Confirm the variant

Battery size, market version, brake package and wheel hardware can change the target. Singapore-delivered and parallel-import cars should be checked directly.

Set wheel and tyre together

PCD, centre bore, offset, wheel load target, tyre load index, rolling diameter and brake clearance are decided as one package.

Cut the wheel for the car

Hub-centric bore, offset and brake clearance are machined into the wheel, with no-spacer intent where the vehicle geometry allows it.

OwnerQuestions

Do Chinese EVs need different forged wheels from petrol cars?

They need wheels specified for the actual EV. Battery mass, instant torque, tyre load index, regen use and brake clearance all affect the wheel and tyre package.

Can LFI build forged wheels for BYD, XPeng, Deepal, Aion and Smart?

Yes. LFI has guide coverage for BYD Sealion 7, BYD Seal, BYD Atto 2, BYD M6, XPeng G6, Deepal S07, Aion V, Aion Hyptec HT and Smart #1.

Why does tyre load index matter on an EV?

The wheel and tyre carry the car together. A forged wheel with the right load target still needs a tyre load index that suits the exact EV variant, wheel width and road use.

Will forged wheels improve EV range?

Lighter forged wheels can reduce unsprung and rotational mass, helping the car feel more controlled and supporting efficiency. Aero design and tyre choice still matter, so range has to be treated as a full package.

Can I order before a dedicated guide exists?

Yes. Send the exact model, variant, current wheel and tyre size, brake photos, target size and use case. LFI can work from measurements before a public guide is published.

Can I view EV forged wheel samples in Singapore?

Yes. Singapore customers can visit LFI at 76 Playfair Road, #01-03 to compare samples, finishes, concavity and EV fitment direction before production.
