Litespeed Racing RS5RR Forged Magnesium Wheel
Ultra-Lightweight Magnesium Alloy Monoblock Racing Wheel
The RS5RR is Litespeed's newest and most exciting version of the RS5, their lightest and most popular wheel style. Fully forged from Litespeed's magnesium alloy, the RS5RR is lighter and stronger than similar wheels made from forged aluminum. In fact, countless hours of FEA computer simulations where employed to fine tune every aspect of the RS5RR’s geometry, maximizing weight reduction with specially-engineered hollowed spoke pockets.
Like the RS5 before it, the RS5RR racing wheel is competition-proven on tracks across the world, from road courses to autocross to quarter-mile and half-mile top speed races.

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.
