REX-08 Electric Series forged wheel product reference. Final spec is built around the exact EV platform.
EV Engineering
Built ForElectric Load
Electric vehicles load wheels differently from ICE cars. Three things change:
Battery mass. An EV can carry 300-600 kg more than an equivalent-sized petrol car. That extra mass passes through the wheel. Load rating is not optional - it is the first number that must work.
Instant torque. An electric motor delivers peak torque from zero rpm. There is no clutch slip, no torque-converter cushion. The wheel sees full drive torque the moment the tyre grips. Spoke roots, bolt seats and hub faces all need to handle a sharper torque onset.
Regenerative braking. When the driver lifts off, the motors reverse and pull energy back. The braking load runs backwards through the drivetrain. The wheel structure cycles through forward and reverse torque repeatedly on every drive.
REX-08 was designed around these three inputs from the start - not adapted from an ICE wheel. The spoke count, root section depth and bolt-circle reinforcement are all configured for mid-weight EV platforms: Tesla Model 3, BYD Seal, Hyundai Ioniq 5. Cars where battery mass adds 300-500 kg over an equivalent ICE and torque arrives instantly.
For heavier EV platforms - dual-motor performance EVs over 2,200 kg, large-battery SUVs - REX-10 or REX-12 provide the deeper forging blank and higher load capacity those vehicles need.
Design Philosophy
Electric-FirstForged Wheel
REX-08 was not adapted from an ICE wheel. It was designed around three EV inputs: higher static load from battery mass, sharper torque onset from electric drive, and repeated torque reversal from regenerative braking.
EV load-first design
The starting point is the vehicle heaviest axle load with a margin. Load rating is the first number confirmed.
Regenerative torque handling
Regenerative braking reverses torque direction through the spokes. REX-08 is reviewed around that repeated load cycle.
Aero-conscious profiling
The spoke face is shaped to manage airflow without unnecessary drag. Range matters; the wheel should not waste it.

EV Fitment
REX-08 Design Intent
REX-08 EV works well on compact and mid-size EVs where a sharper wheel face can transform the stance. It is useful for owners moving away from heavy OEM aero wheels. The current table spans roughly 8.8 to 17.4 kg depending on size, so smaller fitments favor response while larger fitments add stance and load reserve.
Forged For EV Weight And Torque
This sharp EV street wheel is ordered around EV curb weight, instant torque, tire load, brake clearance, offset target, and daily comfort so the wheel suits the way the car is actually driven.
Best On The Right EV
Good for Model 3, BYD Seal, MG4, MINI EV, Smart #1, Hyundai Ioniq 5, and compact electric builds.

Forging Profile Option
EnhancedConcavity
LFI concave profiles are built around the relationship between wheel width, offset, diameter, brake clearance, load rating, and forging depth. The goal is simple: push the face as deep as the car allows, without compromising EV fitment, caliper clearance, or structural integrity.
19-24 inch applicationsThree concavity levelsOffset-sensitive designCost option
Maximum Concave Face
The Maximum Concave Face option is available for selected LFI forged wheel designs. Depending on wheel width and offset, the face profile can be tuned from mild concave to a much deeper spoke drop.
Wider wheels and lower offsets generally allow stronger concavity. For EV builds, LFI also checks axle load, tire load index, brake envelope, and range or comfort goals before recommending an aggressive face.
Three Concavity Levels
Concavity is not selected by diameter alone. The final face depth is calculated from the full fitment package: rim width, offset, brake clearance, vehicle platform, load rating, and the chosen forged wheel design.
Level 1 concavity for cleaner high-clearance fitments.Level 2 concavity for wider fitments with more spoke depth.Level 3 concavity for aggressive low-offset applications.
The exact concavity level is confirmed during fitment planning. LFI checks the target wheel size, brake envelope, center profile, vehicle clearance, and EV load rating before production.
Deep Concave for High-Offset Cars
Some high-offset vehicles do not naturally allow a deep spoke profile because the wheel face must sit further outward to clear the hub and brake package. For these applications, LFI can offer a specialized heavy-duty blank option that creates a more pronounced concave look while keeping the fitment usable.
This is especially useful for EV sedans and crossovers where the customer wants a stronger visual stance but still needs proper inner clearance, brake clearance, tire load, and road-use reliability.
Fitment Still Comes First
Deep concavity must be balanced against caliper clearance, suspension clearance, fender position, tire width, axle load, and the actual offset range the vehicle can accept. The most aggressive face is not always the best face for every car.
LFI will always prioritize a correct forged-wheel fitment over forcing a face profile that creates clearance problems.
Deep Concave Forging Example
The deep concave forging concept shown below demonstrates how a pronounced face profile can be achieved even on a relatively high-offset fitment, using a 19x8.5J ET42 reference example.
Deep concave forged-wheel concept shown on a 19x8.5J ET42 reference fitment.
Cost option: Enhanced concavity and deep concave blank selection are optional upgrades. Final availability depends on wheel size, brake clearance, vehicle platform, load rating, and the selected LFI wheel model.
Options
EV-Friendly Detail Options
Anti-Slip Knurled Beads
Knurled bead seats can help reduce tire movement on higher-torque applications, including heavy EVs and sticky tire setups. LFI can quote this where the use case justifies it.
Annular Reinforcement Ribs
Reinforcement ribs can add barrel rigidity where the final specification, road conditions, tire package, or vehicle weight calls for extra reserve.
