Magnesium Forged Wheels

What They Are

Magnesium forged wheels are the ultimate lightweight solution, crafted from alloys predominantly composed of magnesium. Magnesium is the lightest structural metal available, making it ideal for applications where every gram of weight savings counts. Like aluminum forged wheels, they undergo a high-pressure forging process to create an incredibly strong and dense structure.

Why Choose Them

• Extreme Lightweight: Magnesium is significantly lighter than aluminum (approximately 30% lighter), leading to the absolute lowest unsprung weight possible for a metallic wheel. This translates to unparalleled gains in acceleration, braking, handling, and suspension responsiveness.
• Superior Performance: The reduced mass allows for quicker steering inputs, less rotational inertia, and improved heat dissipation from brakes.
• High Strength (Relative to Weight): Despite their extreme lightness, forged magnesium wheels offer impressive strength and durability for their weight, making them suitable for demanding applications.
• Considerations: Higher cost than aluminum, and magnesium requires specialized coatings to protect against corrosion, as it can be more reactive than aluminum.

Ideal For: Professional motorsport (F1, Le Mans, high-level GT racing), ultra-high-performance road cars, and enthusiasts seeking the absolute pinnacle of lightweight performance regardless of cost.
