Tai Seng · Playfair Road Forged Wheel Showroom
For Singapore drivers comparing car rims, forged wheels, and lightweight performance wheels, LFI focuses on made-to-measure forged fitment rather than generic off-the-shelf rims.
Area: Tai Seng / Playfair Road industrial precinct, near MacPherson, Aljunied, Geylang and Paya Lebar.
Hours: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday 10:00 AM–6:00 PM. Tuesday and Saturday by appointment. Sunday closed.
Start with the kind of build you want to create. Whether the priority is track response, EV load capacity, magnesium weight reduction, deep-lip presence, or a more personal Founder Edition project, each collection gives the conversation a clearer starting point.
Every build below started with a customer’s car, brake package and brief. No stock photos, no renders on a blank background — just real LFI customer fitments.
These are the designs most of our customers land on after a few conversations. Clean spoke architecture, proven proportions, strong visual depth. Final sizing, finish and brake clearance get sorted around your specific car.
The first thing people ask when they walk into the showroom is how heavy. A forged wheel is lighter than cast because the grain structure of the forged alloy is denser and stronger — which means less material is needed to hit the same load targets. The FEA tells us exactly where that material can come out. Hub, spoke roots, barrel, bead seat — each area gets its own load case. What's left is the minimum weight the wheel can be and still be structurally sound for your car.
Vehicle-specific FEA: the simulation shows us where weight can come out safely. Spoke roots, hub flanges, barrel walls — we remove mass from each area only up to the point the load case allows. That's how the wheel ends up genuinely light, not just lighter-looking.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.
On spacers and unsprung mass: a spacer doesn't just change your bearing load path — it adds weight at exactly the point where you're trying to save it. If you're spending money on forged wheels to reduce unsprung mass, running 20 mm spacers on top undoes a significant chunk of that gain. We machine the offset into the wheel from the start so you keep the full weight advantage.
You pick the direction and send us your car details. We handle the fitment calculation, FEA, render approval and production. Most customers are surprised how little back-and-forth it takes once we have the measurements.
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
Every Gram Removed.Every Load Path Considered.
LFI was founded because generic forged wheels were not good enough. Too many aftermarket wheels are built around broad catalogue sizing, conservative blanks, spacer-friendly offsets and unnecessary material left in places where it does nothing for the car.
We take the opposite approach. Every wheel starts with the actual platform: axle load, brake clearance, offset window, centre bore, tyre choice, concavity target and intended use. From there, we remove weight only where the structure allows it — keeping strength in the spoke roots, hub centre, barrel transition and primary load paths.
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.
The LFI approach: we do not begin with a generic wheel and ask the car to adapt. We begin with the car, then engineer the wheel around its load, brakes, stance and purpose. That is how weight comes out without turning fitment into guesswork.
These are real Google reviews from real customers. No editing, no incentivisation. The recurring themes — no spacers, proper advice, weight savings you can feel — are what we're building for.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Walk-in customers can see sample finishes, discuss brake clearance in person and get a fitment recommendation on the spot. If you're overseas, we've shipped to Malaysia, Japan, Australia, the US and further — the process works the same way remotely.

ICE or EV, we've done it: BMW M, Porsche, Mercedes-AMG, Tesla, BYD, Deepal — the fitment approach is the same. Tell us the car, we work backwards from the brake package.
Start With Your PlatformThen Build the Wheel Properly
These platform guides help customers compare brake clearance, offset direction, load targets and spacer-free forged wheel fitment before starting a custom order.
Yes. Diameter, width, offset, PCD, centre bore and finish are all specified for your car. We don't ship off-the-shelf sizes — every set is built to the measurements we agree on together.
Can I visit the showroom in Singapore?
Yes — Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday 10am to 6pm, no appointment needed. Tuesday and Saturday visits need to be booked in advance. Sunday we're closed. Come in, see the finish samples, and talk through your build.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. We regularly ship to Malaysia, Japan, Australia, the US and elsewhere. The order process works the same way remotely — WhatsApp, measurements, render approval, production. Export crating is included.
Can you build wheels for EVs?
Yes. EV fitment is something we take seriously — load rating, offset accuracy and brake clearance all matter more on a heavy high-torque car. We've done Tesla, BYD, Deepal and more.
How much lighter is a forged wheel compared to cast?
Typically 3–5 kg lighter per corner — so 12–20 kg off the car total. The exact number depends on wheel size and what you're comparing against. The saving comes from the forging process: denser grain structure means less material needed to hit the same strength targets. We can give you a specific weight estimate for your size before you order.
Why do you push for no spacers?
A spacer adds unsprung mass at exactly the point you're trying to save it. If you've bought forged wheels to cut 15 kg off the car and you're running 20 mm spacers, you've given a meaningful chunk of that back. It also changes your bearing load path in a way the hub wasn't designed for. We machine the correct offset into the wheel from the start — same result, no hardware.
How do you validate the structural integrity?
We run vehicle-specific FEA on each design before production. Selected reference specifications are also independently tested under TÜV SÜD lab reporting. The full methodology is on the FEA and compliance pages.
How do I get started?
WhatsApp us your car, your current wheel and tyre size, your brake setup and a rough idea of the look you're after. A photo of the car helps. We'll come back with a direction within a day or two.
