Design Philosophy

BalancedRacing Forged

REX-06 V2 is the wheel for customers who want the classic LFI multi-spoke forged look with real fitment engineering behind it. The spokes are treated as I-beams, then pocketed hard through the side, so unused material goes and the main load path stays.

I-beam spoke logic

The spoke section carries load like a beam: flanges and the main web do the useful work, while lower-value side mass is reduced through pocketing.

Side-through pocketing

REX-06 V2 uses aggressive side-through beam pocketing to reduce rotating mass without turning the spoke into a thin decorative strip.

confirmed per vehicle

PCD, centre bore, width, offset, caliper envelope, load target, tyre size and finish are confirmed before machining.

Engineering Notes

Light WhereIt Can Be Light

REX-06 V2 does not make every build chase the absolute minimum weight. It keeps the better rule: remove unnecessary mass while preserving the load path around the hub, spoke roots, bolt seats, brake-side clearance and barrel transition.

The I-beam idea matters because a spoke does not need the same amount of material everywhere. REX-06 V2 keeps material where the beam is doing useful work, then uses side-through pocketing to cut away mass from the side of the spoke section. The result is a more purposeful stiffness-to-mass relationship than a plain thick spoke.

η_build = useful stiffness / finished wheel mass

Specification note

The principle is simple: remove material where it is not doing useful work, then confirm the finished wheel from the vehicle package. Diameter, width, offset, brake clearance, load target, tyre choice and finish all shape the final drawing.

Machining Detail

Lightweight PocketMachining

REX-06 V2 uses targeted relief cuts and open spoke windows to remove non-structural mass, sharpen the wheel face, and show more of the brake package without making the design look flat.

Comparison

REX-06 V2 vsTypical Lightweight Forged Wheels

REX-06 V2 is not just a light-looking multi-spoke wheel. Its value is in how the I-beam spoke shape, side-through pocketing, brake clearance and final fitment work as one specification.

Decision area	Typical aftermarket approach	REX-06 V2 direction
Design intent	Often selected for a lightweight look or a catalogue fitment that broadly clears the car.	REX-06 V2 is positioned as a balanced racing forged design: clean multi-spoke face, real weight reduction, and fitment drawn from the chassis.
Spoke architecture	May rely on simple spoke thinning, visual windows or decorative machining without a clear beam logic.	I-beam spoke logic keeps material along the useful load path, then uses side-through pocketing to remove lower-value side mass.
Pocket machining	Relief cuts can be shallow styling details or hidden where the customer cannot read the engineering intent.	Aggressive side-through beam pocketing is visible on the car, showing the brake package while reducing mass in the spoke shoulder.
Brake clearance	Generic offsets can need spacer correction when caliper clearance, face profile and tyre position do not line up.	Width, offset, centre bore, caliper envelope, spoke profile and tyre position are planned together before machining.
Best use case	Style-led road builds or broad aftermarket replacements where the wheel is mostly a visual upgrade.	Road, fast-road and track-minded builds where lower mass, brake room, tyre support and a clean motorsport face all matter.

Fitment Logic

Width, OffsetAnd Brake Clearance

REX-06 V2 should not be selected by diameter alone. The best result comes from matching wheel width, offset, centre bore, spoke shape, brake package, tyre size and ride height as one package.

Road and fast-road builds

For daily and fast-road use, we prioritise a clean stance, brake clearance, hub-centric fit and a load target that suits the car.

Track-minded builds

For sticky tyres, hard braking or circuit use, LFI can review stronger load targets, knurled beads, reinforcement ribs and tyre slip behaviour before production.

Vehicle Match

Cars ThatMake Sense

REX-06 V2 works best where a clean motorsport face, low mass and exact fitment matter more than a loud novelty design.

Compact performance

MINI F56 / F57, Toyota GR86, Toyota GT86 ZN6, Civic Type R FL5, MX-5 ND and MX-5 NC builds reward lower unsprung mass and exact tyre support.

European performance

Porsche 911, Cayman / Boxster, BMW M2 G87, BMW M3 / M4 G80 G82, Audi RS5 and Mercedes-AMG GT builds need brake clearance and offset accuracy to work together.

OEM+ road cars

Volkswagen Golf GTI / Golf R, Audi A5 / S5 / RS5, BMW 3 Series G20, Lexus IS and similar road builds suit a timeless forged-wheel look rather than a one-season trend.

What is LFI REX-06 V2?

REX-06 V2 is a made-to-order 6061-T6 monoblock forged wheel with a balanced multi-spoke racing design. LFI specifies width, offset, centre bore, PCD, brake clearance, load target, finish and tyre pairing from the chassis.

How heavy is REX-06 V2?

Final weight changes with diameter, width, offset, bolt pattern, brake clearance, load target and machining depth. A 17x7J REX-06 V2 reference specification is approximately 6.15 kg / 13.6 lb per wheel.

Can REX-06 V2 use enhanced concavity?

Yes, where the wheel width, offset, brake package and forging blank allow it. Concavity is balanced against caliper clearance, suspension clearance, tyre position and structural reserve.
