About this service
50+ wheels in production on BMW Group vehicles. 15 years. 100+ designs taken through the full development cycle.
I deliver complete automotive wheel design and engineering — covering the entire development process from early design and CAS, through Class A surfacing, engineering coordination, supplier CAD refinement, and final OEM-level validation.
This service is built on real production programmes for BMW Group, where wheel development is governed by strict internal guidelines, validation protocols, and cross-disciplinary sign-off processes. I work at the intersection of design, engineering, manufacturing, and validation — ensuring wheels are not only visually refined, but structurally correct, manufacturable, aerodynamically considered, and compliant with OEM expectations.
WHAT THIS COVERS:
→ Early design concept and CAS surfacing
→ Class A surface development in Alias Studio Tools & ICEM Surf — 4 internal loops
→ Engineering coordination — FEA interpretation, brake cooling, airflow, crash behaviour awareness
→ Supplier CAD refinement — rebuilding supplier geometry to production Class A standard
→ Final OEM-level polishing and validation
→ Full DFM — cast, forged, and flow-formed manufacturing processes
→ Cross-disciplinary sign-off readiness
THIS SERVICE IS NOT CONCEPTUAL STYLING.
Every deliverable is production-ready, OEM-validated, and manufacturable. If you need a wheel that looks good on a mood board, this is not the right service. If you need a wheel that passes... read more

Automotive Wheel & Class-A Specialist | BMW Group Production | CAD · Surfacing · DFM
My background is in automotive surface engineering, with a long-term focus on wheel design for BMW Group production programmes. Over the years I have taken a significant number of wheel designs through the complete development cycle — from early concept and CAS through Class A surfacing, engineering coordination, and production-ready handover.

Questions and answers
Both. Over 15 years with BMW Group I have handled every stage — from early concept and CAS through to late-stage supplier CAD correction and final Class A polishing. I can enter a programme at any point and deliver to OEM production standard.
No. In BMW Group wheel programmes, design and engineering are inseparable. My work includes FEA-driven geometry iteration, manufacturing constraints, brake clearance, cooling airflow, and OEM validation logic — all resolved within the surface, not handed off to someone else.
Yes — and this is one of the most demanding parts of the entire wheel development cycle. Supplier CAD is typically poor in surface quality. I rebuild it to Class A standard while preserving all approved engineering geometry, offset, mounting face, and tooling constraints. This is the final loop before production sign-off and leaves no room for error. I have done this for BMW Group production programmes repeatedly over 15 years.
Yes — not similar to OEM standards, but the actual BMW Group wheel development process itself. This includes internal design review loops, cross-disciplinary engineering sign-off, supplier coordination protocols, and final production validation. I have navigated this process from first sketch to production release on over 50 wheels. I understand not just what is required, but why each requirement exists.
Absolutely. All BMW Group wheel programmes I have worked on are NDA-protected, and I have maintained that confidentiality throughout 15 years without exception. I am fully comfortable signing client NDAs before any project discussion begins.
