Wheel systems & engineering

Vlukon is an engineering and OEM partner for complete wheel systems. From concept to series production we take responsibility for the interface between vehicle and road: rim, tyre, hub, bearing, axle, suspension and, where relevant, brake components.

Wheel Systems

One partner for rim, tyre, hub, bearing, axle and brake interface: engineered in Vaals, built in small and medium series.

Our in-house die and tool department makes quick adjustments to steel rims possible; since 1969 we have built up an extensive range of dies and tools.
