Tai Seng · Playfair Road Forged Wheel Showroom
LFI is a Singapore custom forged wheel specialist based at 76 Playfair Road, building vehicle-specific forged wheels around brake clearance, offset, load rating, stance and weight reduction.
LFI builds made-to-measure forged wheels — not off-the-shelf rims. Every set is machined to the car, not pulled from a shelf.
Area: Tai Seng / Playfair Road industrial precinct, near MacPherson, Aljunied, Kaki Bukit and Paya Lebar.
Hours: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday 10:00 AM–6:00 PM. Tuesday and Saturday by appointment. Sunday closed.
Choose the collection that matches your priority — track response, EV load capacity, magnesium weight reduction, deep-lip presence, or a Founder Edition project built around your car.
The designs customers return to. Clean spoke architecture, proven proportions, strong visual depth. Final sizing, finish, and brake clearance are specified to your car — not guessed.

A forged blank gives LFI more strength to work with before machining begins. FEA then shows where material can be removed safely and where it must stay: hub, spoke roots, barrel and bead seat each carry a different load case.
Vehicle-specific FEA: the simulation shows where material can come out safely and where it must stay. Spoke roots, hub flanges and barrel walls are adjusted only to the point the load case allows.One process, not three suppliers: forging, CNC machining, balancing and finishing are all part of the same controlled build. Less handoff means fewer variables.Blank traceability: every blank that comes through carries a production record. If something ever came up, we could trace it. Nothing ever has.
Reference tested: CSF1 19x9 ET29 was tested to JWL Aug. 2014 conditions at the stated load.
Named lab route: the report runs through a TUV SUD accredited lab. Custom sets still get their own load, brake, tyre, and fitment review.
LFI prefers to machine the required offset into the wheel instead of relying on spacer-based correction. It keeps the hub interface cleaner and the final specification more intentional.
Question
What matters
LFI direction
Forged vs cast wheels
A forged wheel is usually about 25% lighter and 25% stronger than a comparable cast wheel in a similar design and specification.
Use forged construction when weight reduction, sharper response and vehicle-specific strength matter more than lowest upfront cost.
Spacers vs custom offset
Spacers add hardware and unsprung mass while moving the wheel load path away from the hub.
Machine offset and brake clearance into the forged wheel wherever possible, so the stance is built into the specification.
EV load rating considerations
EVs carry more mass and instant torque, so load rating, brake clearance, tyre pairing and wheel weight need to be reviewed together.
Confirm the vehicle weight, intended tyre, axle load target and use case before choosing an EV forged wheel family.
You choose the direction. We handle the fitment calculation, FEA, render approval, and production. Once we have the measurements, most builds need one or two conversations.
Step 1
Pick a direction
Choose the design family that suits the car. Multi-spoke, split-spoke, deep dish — we'll help narrow it down if you're unsure.
Step 2
We sort the fitment
Send us your brake caliper details, current wheel size and target look. We calculate the width, offset and clearance — you approve the numbers.
Step 3
Choose a finish
Brushed, polished, painted or powder coat. Most people change their mind once during this step. That's normal — take your time.
Step 4
You sign off on the render
We show you what the finished wheel looks like on your car before anything gets cut. FEA runs in parallel. Nothing goes to production without your approval.
Step 5
We build and ship
Forged, machined, finished and checked. Lead time is typically 6–8 weeks depending on finish. We'll keep you updated.
Why LFI Exists
Measured, Then Machined.Every Load Path Considered.
LFI Founder Kevin came from precision manufacturing — components for Rolls Royce, the SAF, Sennheiser, and Razer. Industries where tolerances are measured in microns and structural failure isn't an option.
LFI was founded between track sessions, when he realised the aftermarket wheel market needed the same factory-floor discipline he was applying to aerospace and defence. It still does.
01
Platform-first engineering
Width, offset, brake clearance, centre bore, tyre sizing and load target are considered together before production. The wheel is built around the car, not forced onto it later.
02
Weight removed with purpose
Lightweight only matters when strength stays in the right places. LFI uses engineering-led mass reduction to cut unnecessary material without weakening the areas that carry real load.
03
No spacer-based guesswork
Offset and brake clearance are machined into the wheel from the start whenever possible. Cleaner fitment, less unsprung mass and fewer extra interfaces between the hub and wheel.
REX-06 V2 on Porsche: lightweight forged construction with a clean motorsport face, built around proper brake clearance, offset and stance instead of spacer-based correction.
Ford GT40 Singapore build: some cars cannot be handled with catalogue fitment logic. This is where LFI’s custom offset, brake-envelope and stance-first approach matters.
Ken's GR86 · Fuji Speedway Ken's GR86 on circuit at Fuji Speedway — where fitment precision and weight reduction stop being specs and start being lap time.
We do not begin with a generic wheel and ask the car to adapt. We begin with the car — its load, brakes, stance, and purpose — then engineer the wheel around it. Weight comes out without turning fitment into guesswork.
Real Google reviews from real customers. Unedited. Unsolicited. The themes customers return to — measured fitment, proper advice and wheels that feel different on the road — are what LFI is built on.

I reached out to LFI for a set of wheels for my BMW X3M. I was looking for a clean motorsport look with an ultimate goal of lightweight. After some back and forth I landed on a set of TRS01 in a 20"/18" combo. Delivery took roughly 7.5 weeks from the date of my order and everything arrived sound.

Fantastic designs, even greater people behind the company. Kevin and Joshua are amazing people who give really good advice on the looks, cuts, sizing and offsets. They are good with how to build the best mechanically appropriate rims for your car.
Gerald Tan
★★★★★
Fantastic designs, quality, and delivery time. This is the second set of custom rims I've made with them and the results are awesome both times. The fitment is always perfect. So, no need for spacers.
Jonathan Ong
★★★★★
Great experience with LFI. They thoroughly adviced me on the design and got me my wheels right before CNY. With the new wheels, I do feel a noticeable improvement on the suspension feel and handling. 20" rims definitely gets you decent weight savings ~5kg per wheel.
Jonathan Loh
★★★★★
Engaged LFI to upgrade the rims for my new Deepal S07 and the guys were really patient in helping me choose a design. I wanted to maximise the offset for concave rims, so Josh came down to the showroom to do measurement to get the best effect.

Popular Fitment Guides
Start With Your Platform
Platform-specific fitment guides covering brake clearance, offset direction, load targets, and spacer-free specifications — built from recorded customer cars, not generic calculators.
Yes. Diameter, width, offset, PCD, centre bore, and finish are specified to your car. Every set is built to the agreed measurements — no off-the-shelf sizes.
Can I visit the showroom in Singapore?
Yes. Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday 10am–6pm — no appointment needed. Tuesday and Saturday by appointment. Sunday closed. Come in to see finish samples and discuss your build in person.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. We ship to Malaysia, Japan, Australia, the US, and beyond. Remote orders follow the same process — WhatsApp, measurements, render approval, production. Export crating is included.
Can you build wheels for EVs?
Yes. EV fitment demands proper load rating, offset accuracy, and brake clearance — all of which matter more on a heavy, high-torque car. Tesla, BYD, Deepal, and more are in our build records.
How much lighter is a forged wheel compared to cast?
Typically 3–5 kg per corner, depending on wheel size and the comparison baseline. The saving comes from forged material strength and careful machining, and LFI provides a specific estimate for your selected size before you order.
Why do you push for no spacers?
A spacer can be useful in some situations, but it is not the cleanest way to specify a made-to-order wheel. LFI prefers to machine the required offset and brake clearance into the wheel so the hub interface, bearing load path and final stance are considered together.
How do you validate the structural integrity?
Vehicle-specific FEA runs on every design before production. Selected specifications are independently tested under TÜV SÜD lab reporting. Full methodology on the FEA and compliance pages.
How do I get started?
Send us your car, current wheel and tyre size, brake setup, and the look you're after. A photo of the car helps. We respond with a direction within a day or two.
