Kormetal Wheels / Employment-era portfolio
Alloy wheels designed and developed by Onur Daştan while working at Kormetal, documented through a real chain from CAD and engineering review to production and retail sales.
This is not a Method Studio client project. It is professional portfolio work completed while Onur Daştan was employed by Kormetal.
A chain of evidence
Wheel design is as much about package, proportion and surface behaviour as it is about style. This archive shows form decisions progressing through engineering review into physical products without making unsupported performance claims.
01 / CAD development
A wheel face is defined by more than its spoke count. Spoke roots, negative space, the hub field and the transition into the rim were developed together.
02 / ANSYS iteration
ANSYS results were used to locate critical regions, retain material where it was needed and remove unnecessary mass. Geometry was revisited through each review so weight and test requirements could develop together.
03 / Manufactured result
The manufactured examples show how spoke depth, centre emphasis and surface transitions behave under real light. The result shown here is not a render; it is physical product evidence that entered retail and sold.
Commercial outcome
These designs did not stop at presentation. Every wheel in this series received TSE and TÜV approval, entered production within the Kormetal range, reached retailers and sold.
Production family
The physical archive ranges from dense, technical spoke structures to more open geometries with deeper surfaces. Because exact model names could not be matched with confidence, the images are presented as product-family evidence.
Portfolio boundary: this page presents CAD, technical review, TSE and TÜV approval, physical production and commercial-outcome records. Because exact model names could not be matched conclusively to the surviving images, the products are presented through their verified shared process rather than individual model names.
Method perspective
An automotive surface should be as convincing in production as it is on the screen.
Method Studio supports mobility, wheel, accessory and technical-product programmes through form development, Class-A surfacing, CAD modelling, reverse engineering and production preparation.
