i guess Im asking randomly but does anybody know a method to log back into an Instagram account? I somehow lost the account password. I love any help you can give me
This series is so amazing because people can actually see why some of this stuff is so expensive. It's not like they can abracadabra some wheels out of nowhere haha
Honestly this is what makes me want to buy from a company. Seeing what goes on in their own factory from start to finish. Seeing people proud of their hard work and happy at work smiling. Lets you know its a good company. Love the vids keep em coming! Now going to check out Rotiform much love
This was the sickest factory tour you guys have done, probably one of my favorite Hoonigan videos. I got my eye on a set of rotiforms for my 86 so this is so rad to see
@@bensimper5066 they're only required to provide it, workers can choose to use them or not.. same with my work, will i have hearing loss? probably but i have to listen to whats going on around me and talk to way to many people while i'm there to bother wearing that crap.
Agreed. Funny to say,th-cam.com/video/vAwqrsTW65Q/w-d-xo.html this was a better Rotiform-tour imo tho,no effence to the job they do at Hoonigan tho,much respect for what they do!
Thanks for this video. Absolutely loved it. I love watching how things are made but they don’t show enough aftermarket and aftermarket performance parts being made! You all should make more videos like this showing how Aftermarket parts and performance parts are made
I got a tour of CCW back when I went to simply clean 3 for the pre meet. I was talking to John the owner and had no clue for about 10 mins. He was super humble. Then we realized it was the owner and he also asked if we wanted a tour and of course we did. He showed us the ins and outs of how the cnc process and paint and everything works. It’s super interesting to me.
Getting my Rotiform SNA's 19x12 rear and 19x11 front with 7" lip in rear for my BMW e92m3 with Liberty Walk wide body kit delivered tomorrow. They took 9 months to produce... Can't wait!
Thank you can for going through all this to show us what it takes to make wheels. I've never seen it before but I just learned something new today.. Good job man!!👍👍👍
Last time I was this early I was still driving to work and my center console wasn't in pieces cause I"M NOT GOING ANYWHERE ANYTIME SOON SO MIGHT AS WELL.
I worked there for over a year but not for rotiform. Those guys are cool people. I used to go check the wheel sets every day to see the colors and designs. Lol
awesome. A flow-formed KB1 would be great in a 18x9.5 et42-45 in 5x114.3. Also, love the aero disk, but I would like to see it in 18 too instead of just the 19s.
It is a terrible job, the metal dust gets into your skin, everything is heavy and awkward and you have to be very careful as it is really easy to make a mistake. From memory they are paid very well.
The polishing guys make between 1500 to 2000 per week. It's the average in l.a. if not they jump shop. They're more valuable than gold. Used to do it for 2 years. We call it l.a. coal mining lol Edit: most of them are independent contractors
So the forged blanks are from somewhere in California, same as where other brands in the US are buying you just design via CNC machine. The contrast with Japanese wheel factory is huge, in Japan Work wheels actually make their own alloy blanks. I still dont get why cost is so high, I assume media spend is huge budget for Rotiform.
Like he said, getting a brand new set shipped makes for an awesome day! I've only done it once and they damn sure weren't Rotiforms but it's still super satisfying.
Had an answer for every question! If his knowledge is also a reflection of a strong work ethic if he's not an owner hopefully the person/people who are invest in the staff as much as they do for machinery and hopefully a hell of a lot more than they do for ppe.
have I got an order for you 22.5 by 16 wide with 5 bolt ford pattern so I can run super singles on my pickup truck . I had a set years ago but we had to weld them up from Semi rims with flat plate centers not the best balanced wheel but man they are so big and look so cool on a old 60's pick up .
It’s crazy how much business rotiform took away from HRE wheels, DPE wheels, and Iforged, back in the day those were the wheels to have now rotiform is the number one wheel any project car has.
Interested to know how they make sure wheels are welded center. Ordered a set from one of Rotiform's competitors and they were so far out of round it was embarrasing. Had to send them back for re-centering... twice. (and they still weren't in round) =(
this is an awesome video and amazing to see so much behind the scenes. really though, they need to buy their works some respirators for when they are sanding the wheels by hand. that aluminum dust and shit is gonna give them lung cancer or some shit.

Fack major network, they would ruin it.
Plus you get to highlight products that are still made in America.
Bruh I really enjoy these factory tours you all did. Coming from a someone who's always got excited as a kid watching how it's made.
Me and you both brotha!
How it’s made was the shit. I used to watch it all the time
Same
i guess Im asking randomly but does anybody know a method to log back into an Instagram account?

@Damari Henrik Instablaster :)
Why does the guy with the glasses look like a non crazy version of ken block
Kinda sounds like Jonathan Ward tho
@@chr1sl4i THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING!
I came here to say the same thing. Just a bald Ken Block. Same mannerisms even.
Becuse you need glasses dude😂🤣👌🏽😙
and i think he sounds like him haha
This series is so amazing because people can actually see why some of this stuff is so expensive. It's not like they can abracadabra some wheels out of nowhere haha
Totally understand where the price comes from now lol
"Everything is assembled using a torque wrench..." as the guy proceeds to send it with the drill
👌
the drill had a torque extension tho
I wouldn't be surprised if they zip em down with the lil brapper, then final torque by hand.
Just seen this and went straight for the comments to see if anyone picked it up haha!!
Torque sticks
Whole new respect for these rims and how they are made. It makes sense why they are so expensive hand painted assembled and polished? Crazy
Should have taken a shot of the staff parking lot. Bet there’s tons of cool wheels out there.
Honestly this is what makes me want to buy from a company. Seeing what goes on in their own factory from start to finish. Seeing people proud of their hard work and happy at work smiling. Lets you know its a good company. Love the vids keep em coming! Now going to check out Rotiform much love
The dude knows what he's talking about. This show is really entertaining and with people like that it's even better ! Please make this a serie !
The "they 10's, I keep em clean tho" COMPLETELY UNDERRATED... Dan is truly the MAN
Lmao
"They 10's but I keep'em clean tho"
☝️You know where that's from🤣
Dan has seen next Friday? And he quoted dey dey!?...... Yes!!!!
"26x16"
"What's that for?!"
"Uuuuuhh..."
darquille he said right? Wasn’t is a Silverado?
@@medievalpossum6504 I went back and they cut to him saying "GM 1500" so yeah.
My question is, where the fuck do you find a tire for that?
Brodozer.
@@whatareyoudoingyouidiot342 the only thing that came up when I searched those wheel measurement. Guess he didn't want to offend his clientele
I feel like that dude knows where every wheel is going and on what car. great tour.
This was the sickest factory tour you guys have done, probably one of my favorite Hoonigan videos. I got my eye on a set of rotiforms for my 86 so this is so rad to see
Videos like this really make me appreciate the enthusiasm a company has. Helps justify some of the high price tags these quality companies post at.
Dude has an Irish Green Golf R??? Super jealous, that colour is gorgeous!
Bad ass man!!! The factory tours are awesome.
I work in a factory that makes truck wheels. Interesting to see how much more work goes in to a nice set of wheels.
Daaammmnnn, that PPE I definitely not up to scratch for the dudes polishing, in Aus anyway. RIP
Exactly what i was thinking. Those guys are not gonna live long.
Yeah thought the same. That's a rough deal. Get those guys some respirators
Its all Mexican labor. Those workers are always rotated.
In aus theyd be shutdown suuper quick, no ear pro for anyone when everyone clearly has to yell to be heard 😂
Amazing vid tho
@@bensimper5066 they're only required to provide it, workers can choose to use them or not.. same with my work, will i have hearing loss? probably but i have to listen to whats going on around me and talk to way to many people while i'm there to bother wearing that crap.
Hey camera guy when the dudes point at something and talk about it please point the camera to the thing which they been pointing and talking. Thanks
i was thinking that as well
Agreed. Funny to say,th-cam.com/video/vAwqrsTW65Q/w-d-xo.html this was a better Rotiform-tour imo tho,no effence to the job they do at Hoonigan tho,much respect for what they do!
That has answered so many questions for me. Freaking awesome visit to one of the best wheel manufacturers that I know of.
Love these tours and really anything Dan does, you can tell he's the type always trying to learn new shit. Keep em coming.
That place is just a buzzing hive of activity. Wow.
Thanks for this video.
Absolutely loved it.
I love watching how things are made but they don’t show enough aftermarket and aftermarket performance parts being made!
You all should make more videos like this showing how Aftermarket parts and performance parts are made
9:25 it was rock your hoonigan swag at work. Shoutout to all the workers there, love rotiform wheels.
Those are hoonigan people. Trying to stay out of picture.. th-cam.com/video/3D8Mq2ItXhQ/w-d-xo.html
Yeah supposedly there are boobs that work for hoonigan yet 500 episodes are pure sausage fest.
Pretty sure that's Ashley, Scotto's wife.

One of the things that makes this so great is watching Dans amazement of how things are done
This was awesome to watch! I loved seeing pics/video of my DIAs in the mil process on Rotiforms Instagram stories
Last time I was this early I was still driving to work and my center console wasn't in pieces cause I"M NOT GOING ANYWHERE ANYTIME SOON SO MIGHT AS WELL.
Wow! What an operation.. these guys truly have wheel-making down to a science.😉👍
I worked there for over a year but not for rotiform. Those guys are cool people. I used to go check the wheel sets every day to see the colors and designs. Lol
12:33 love the Wörthersee poster in the background :D
awesome. A flow-formed KB1 would be great in a 18x9.5 et42-45 in 5x114.3. Also, love the aero disk, but I would like to see it in 18 too instead of just the 19s.
Love the Day-Day quote! LMAO "they 10s but I keep em clean"
Amazed at how shiney the vibratory finisher got those hoops. Dang.
Great episode Dan
far out feel sorry for the polishing guys . just a paper mask and thats all they get , what a crappy department
Also, in such a dimly lit shed..
Exactly. And like 5 minutes later at another department you see 1 guy with a pressure mask and proper outfit, wich shows what they could have...
It is a terrible job, the metal dust gets into your skin, everything is heavy and awkward and you have to be very careful as it is really easy to make a mistake. From memory they are paid very well.

@@luisledesma7425 glad to hear , those are some of Americas hidden hard workers right there.
I’ve been looking for a while for the rotiform shop walkthrough cuz it’s my ultimate dream job
Absolutely LOVING this content
Alchemist making wheels now!!
always love those wheel but now that make me love it even more thanks to the hoonigan !
That’s freaking impressive! Wow!
Saving up to buy some ZMO'S for my 68 Stang and I cannot wait!
Isn't the rim center at 7:15 being powder coated the same as the set of 4 and one waiting for the center at 12:15?
HeIsEnTuRd @7:15 that is my absolute favorite wheels by them
very cool! interesting to see how many other "custom" wheel brands are being done in the same facility.
ATX Series, American Force, American Racing, Asanti, DUB, Foose, Fuel, Helo, KMC, Motegi, Moto Metal, Niche, OE Creations, Rotiform, US Mag, XD Wheels
Rotiform USF is a dream wheel!
Fascinating. Thanks for this
"Candy paint, think it ain't" lol
Are those ButtonBuilt's F355 wheels at 14:16 ?
So the forged blanks are from somewhere in California, same as where other brands in the US are buying you just design via CNC machine. The contrast with Japanese wheel factory is huge, in Japan Work wheels actually make their own alloy blanks. I still dont get why cost is so high, I assume media spend is huge budget for Rotiform.
It's great to see actual humans working making things.
Some of those wheels were bigger than my daily’s whole engine bay!
"girls get dirty too" wheels that are gonna go on a bro dozer that'll spend it's life driving around a carpark
Aahhahahahaha
They're supporting America workers they're fine by me.
Nah it'll get driven through the mud in the construction site outside the mall for an instagram pic or 3.
It’s their money, they can do whatever makes them happy.
Dan saw "Girls can get dirty too" and was like damn wifey really is out there
So that's what new rims look like. All my rims come from random sketchy guys sheds
Like he said, getting a brand new set shipped makes for an awesome day! I've only done it once and they damn sure weren't Rotiforms but it's still super satisfying.
I bet all of does spinners are going to Florida lol . Interesting and crazy process for some rims.
Dans the king of one liners. Candy paint, say it ain’t
I need a soundboard of Dan spittin Friday memes.
Yall have been waiting for covid to release soooo much content. So happy yall are months behind on videos
Hoonigan is Love. So much great shit!
I see dan is rocking the painted on pants look 😂🤣
I can almost guarantee that those forged blanks are not made in a 60,000 ton press. I think he meant 6,000 ton press.
I love Rotiform, most my car's are running them................. in Forza 🤣👊
Super cool video!!!
Love dans comments during the tour lol 😂
The guy with the glasses is rocking the Regular Car Review look 10/10
Holy shit, SPINNERS. I need to spend more time back in the hood, I too haven't seen a set in 5+ years.
By putting together SemaRush and those beautiful wheels at 14:14 I would say those are for the BB355TT by button_built
Really cool video
I love this company I always wanted to know if they can do the KPS in a step lip 18x8.5 5x100 +38 offset in bronze color for my 05 legacy gt?
Johnny Tsunami would be proud of those bad boys
Yes finally some rotiforms 💚
Had an answer for every question! If his knowledge is also a reflection of a strong work ethic if he's not an owner hopefully the person/people who are invest in the staff as much as they do for machinery and hopefully a hell of a lot more than they do for ppe.

damn i want to go to sleep earlier but these videos come out before i go to bed
14:15 ayy I recognize those wheels off to the right. They sit on @Buttonbuilt's bagged and widebodied Ferrari 328
I used to work there it’s on reyes in compton.
i did there roof not even 2 years ago i have a discontinued Compton cutters jacket! thats crazy
Love the machining content
I need a job with a wheel company man, already run a lathe but I would enjoy that way more.
It’s crazy how much business rotiform took away from HRE wheels, DPE wheels, and Iforged, back in the day those were the wheels to have now rotiform is the number one wheel any project car has.
"... tiny little 14"s " Laughs in kei.
I know where that rotiform warehouse is had a friend who worked there in Rancho Dominguez
As a noob I appreciate the "how to's"
At about 4:58 what are those monster wide rims on the low rack behind them holy shit
are those larry chens 240 wheels that they were spraying
The states of South and North Carolina keeping this factory running
Fuck some of those wheels are crazy.
Ol' Danger Dan looks like he's been out in the sun a bit too long before this episode was filmed lol.
Interested to know how they make sure wheels are welded center. Ordered a set from one of Rotiform's competitors and they were so far out of round it was embarrasing. Had to send them back for re-centering... twice. (and they still weren't in round) =(
That's awesome
Where are all those crazy Rotiforms going? Because the only ones I’ve seen IRL all are the same wheel and color 😂
They showed the custom forged line. Most of the boxes have the cast aka flow forged/formed line which is made in China or taiwan
4:31 looks like Collette's wheels
I really want some new wheels now
this is an awesome video and amazing to see so much behind the scenes. really though, they need to buy their works some respirators for when they are sanding the wheels by hand. that aluminum dust and shit is gonna give them lung cancer or some shit.
Very cool
