Litespeed Racing Spec 5 Forged Magnesium Wheel
Ultra-Lightweight Monoblock Porsche Racing Wheel
The Litespeed Spec 5 Forged Magnesium wheel is inspired by race wheels found on Porsche GT3 Cup cars. The Litespeed Spec 5 is one of the lightest wheels you can buy, while also be strong enough for both track use and hard street driving. The design is timeless, yet still very modern. Countless hours of FEA computer simulations where put into fine tuning every aspect of the Spec 5's geometry. The result is maximum weight reduction and overall strength.
The Litespeed Spec 5 in size 12.5J x 21 is actually the lightest Porsche GT3 wheel on the market, lighter than the OEM Weissach magnesium option and also lighter than BBS or IPE wheels.

Fully Forged From Magnesium Alloy
In a quest to build the lightest wheel possible, Litespeed actually started with the obvious solution: carbon fiber. It's a seemingly magical material, with super-high tensile strength and super-low density. But the resulting wheel was not as light as expected, mainly because a lot of carbon needs to be added to make it safe enough to withstand impacts. Also, carbon fiber can't be formed into strong complex shapes like I-beams.
Forged magnesium is the solution to these problems. Modern forged magnesium alloys are light years ahead of the old school “mag” wheels made from cast magnesium. Litespeed Racing’s proprietary forged magnesium alloy actually outperforms forged aluminum in both tensile strength and fatigue strength, while being a naturally lighter material. The result is forged magnesium monoblock wheels that, in many cases, are actually lighter than some OEM full carbon fiber wheels of the same size.
