Wheel Technology
Magnesium Wheels.
Built for the Track.
Made for the Street.
Everything you need to know before upgrading — weight savings, real-world performance, and what to watch out for.
Magnesium wheels started on the racetrack. Decades later, that same engineering is available for your daily drive — and the difference is immediately noticeable.
Less weight. More feel.
Every kilogram shed from your wheels has an outsized effect on how your car accelerates, stops, and corners. Unlike body weight reduction, cutting unsprung mass — wheels, tires, brakes — directly frees your suspension to do its job. The result is sharper turn-in, quicker braking response, and a more connected feel through the steering wheel.
Magnesium alloys offer the best strength-to-weight ratio of any wheel material available today. Forged under immense pressure, they're denser and more impact-resistant than cast alternatives — and significantly lighter than forged aluminum.
"Reducing rotational mass is one of the highest-impact performance modifications you can make — and magnesium delivers more of it than any other wheel material."
Faster Acceleration
Less rotational mass means your engine moves the car more efficiently from a standstill.
Shorter Braking Distance
Lighter wheels allow brakes to slow rotational momentum faster — especially noticeable at speed.
Sharper Handling
Reduced unsprung mass lets suspension react faster, improving body control and cornering precision.
Smoother Ride
Advanced magnesium alloys absorb vibration, reducing road noise and harshness on imperfect surfaces.
The manufacturing difference is significant.
Forged magnesium wheels are produced by compressing heated alloy under thousands of tonnes of pressure. The result is a denser, grain-aligned structure that resists deformation and impact far better than cast alternatives. Cast wheels are poured into molds — faster and cheaper to produce, but heavier and more brittle under stress.
For street driving, forged is the right choice. The weight savings alone justify it, and the added structural integrity matters when you hit a pothole at speed.

FAQs
Are magnesium wheels stronger than aluminum?
Forged magnesium can match forged aluminum in structural strength — the real advantage is weight. Magnesium is significantly lighter, which is where the performance gains come from.
How do I maintain magnesium wheels day-to-day?
Regular washing with a pH-neutral cleaner and periodic inspection of the coating is all that's needed. Modern protective finishes handle most environmental exposure well.
How long do they last?
With proper care, forged magnesium wheels last as long as forged aluminum — sometimes longer, since reduced unsprung mass puts less stress on surrounding suspension components.
Are they worth it for street driving?
If driving feel and performance are priorities, yes. The difference is tangible from the first drive — not just on track days, but in everyday corners and braking situations.
