Lightest aluminium range
REX designs cut mass everywhere it hurts lap times. Quicker direction change, faster response.
LFI Founder's Edition
Founder's Edition Ultra-Light Track Wheels
Founder's Edition is the lightest set of aluminium forged wheels LFI builds. Every gram, every face profile, every spec decision is aimed at one thing: making the car faster from braking zone to apex to exit.
This is not a different design. It is a different level of development.
Every set starts with the car and how it is driven. Wheel size, offset, load rating and tyre support get dialed around one thing: response, grip and staying consistent lap after lap.
Founder's Edition belongs on cars where every millimetre and every kilo changes the outcome: BMW M, Porsche 911 and Cayman, Toyota GR, Honda Type R, Golf R, Tesla Performance, Audi RS - anything built to be driven hard. In Singapore, bring the car to the showroom. From the USA or anywhere else, send your vehicle details, tyre plan and how you drive it, and we will take it from there.
Developed for speed
Spoke profile, face geometry and load rating get dialed for grip and repeatable hard use.
Built for track results
Cleaner exits, sharper feel lap after lap. That is the point.
Fitment follows function
The spec supports tyre shape, steering feel and how the car is actually driven - not how it looks parked.
Founder Builds
Cars That Deserve The Extra Work
Founder's Edition is for cars where the wheel has to make everything faster. Less mass, sharper response, better feel at the limit.
M2, M3, M4 and X3M
M cars come alive when rotating mass drops. Founder's Edition is for drivers who want the car to feel lighter from turn-in to corner exit.
See BMW M fitment guides911, Cayman, Boxster and Macan
Porsche chassis tell you exactly what the wheels are doing. Founder's Edition gives you lower mass, cleaner response and more confidence when you are pushing.
See Porsche 911 guideTesla, Porsche EV and BMW i
EV torque and mass punish lazy wheels. Founder's Edition cuts rotating mass while keeping the load rating honest for hard road and track driving.
See Tesla Model 3 guideGR86, GR Yaris and Supra
Light GR cars feel every kilo. Founder's Edition gives them quicker response, cleaner stance and a wheel package that keeps the car lively.
See Toyota GR86 guideCivic Type R, Golf R and GTI
For front-drive and AWD hatch builds, every kilo at the front axle matters. Sharper bite, cleaner rotation and steering that does not go numb.

Buying Guide
When To Choose Founder's Edition?
Choose Founder's Edition when the goal is maximum response, minimum weight and a wheel that earns its place on the car.
| Use case | Recommended direction | Best fit | LFI note |
|---|---|---|---|
Weight-first build |
Start with the lightest size and load rating that still does the job. |
BMW M, Porsche, Toyota GR, Civic Type R. |
Mass comes off only where it sharpens response - never where it compromises what the wheel needs to handle. |
Ultimate road setup |
A wheel that makes the car feel sharper without turning it into a one-lap wonder. |
M3/M4, 911, Supra, Audi RS, AMG, Golf R. |
It should lift response and feel - not just change the look. |
Track-capable flagship |
Size, width, tyre and heat management built for repeated hard laps. |
Track-day BMW M, Porsche, Toyota GR, Honda Type R. |
Consistent response, stable tyre support and confidence from braking to exit. |
EV and high-load project |
Weight reduction balanced against load rating, tyre index and rolling diameter. |
Tesla Model 3/Y, Porsche EV, BMW i, high-torque builds. |
For EVs, the lightest answer is only useful if it still carries the car properly. |
