LFI's lightest range
Founder-led REX designs are built around extreme weight reduction, quick direction change and faster response.
LFI Founder's Edition
Founder's Edition Apex Track Result
Founder's Edition is LFI's apex range: the lightest, most developed and most advanced forged wheels we build. This is for owners chasing ultimate performance, extreme lightweight response and real track result - the kind you feel from braking zone to apex to exit.
Every set starts with the car and the driving brief. Wheel size, offset, load target and tyre support are chosen around response, grip and consistency, so the car feels sharper lap after lap.
Founder's Edition suits builds where every millimetre and every kilo matters: BMW M, Porsche 911 and Cayman, Toyota GR, Honda Type R, Golf R, Tesla Performance, Audi RS and serious track-capable platforms. In Singapore, bring the car to the showroom. From the USA or anywhere else, send the vehicle, tyre plan and driving target and we will work from there.
Most developed performance brief
Spoke mass, face profile, size and load target are refined around speed, grip and repeatable hard use.
Track-result mindset
For owners chasing apex speed, cleaner exits and a wheel that helps the car feel sharper lap after lap.
Fitment serves performance
The spec is chosen to support tyre shape, stance, steering feel and the way the car is actually driven.
Founder Builds
Cars That Deserve The Extra Work
Founder's Edition is for cars where the wheel has to make the whole build faster, sharper and more committed. Less mass, more response, better feel at the limit.
M2, M3, M4 and X3M
M cars reward less rotating mass and sharper response. Founder specs are 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 wheel is doing. Founder's Edition suits owners chasing lower mass, cleaner response and confidence at the limit.
See Porsche 911 guideTesla, Porsche EV and BMW i
EV torque and mass punish lazy wheels. Founder's Edition focuses on reducing rotating mass while keeping the load target honest for hard road and track-style use.
See Tesla Model 3 guideGR86, GR Yaris and Supra
Light GR platforms feel every kilo. Founder specs suit owners chasing 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. The goal is sharper bite, cleaner rotation and less numbness through the steering.

Buying Guide
When To Choose Founder's Edition?
Choose Founder's Edition when the brief is ultimate performance, extreme lightweight response and track-focused result. This is the range for owners who want the most developed LFI wheel work available.
| Use case | Recommended direction | Best fit | LFI note |
|---|---|---|---|
Weight-first build |
Start with the lightest viable size, width and load target for the use case. |
BMW M, Porsche, Toyota GR, Civic Type R and similar driver-focused platforms. |
Mass comes out only where it helps response without compromising the job of the wheel. |
Ultimate road setup |
Use a wheel that makes the car feel sharper without turning it into a one-lap-only setup. |
M3/M4, 911, Supra, Audi RS, AMG, Golf R and premium daily builds. |
The wheel should raise response and feel, not just change the look. |
Track-capable flagship |
Set size, width, tyre and duty cycle around repeated hard laps. |
Track-day BMW M, Porsche, Toyota GR, Honda Type R and similar builds. |
Aim for consistent response, stable tyre support and confidence from braking zone to exit. |
EV and high-load project |
Balance weight reduction with load rating, tyre index and rolling diameter. |
Tesla Model 3/Y, Porsche EV, BMW i and heavier high-torque cars. |
For EVs, the lightest answer is only useful if it still carries the car properly. |
