Magnesium
Chosen for one reason: major weight reduction vs. an equivalent aluminium forged wheel.
Magnesium Forged is LFI's lightest wheel line - built for customers who want a serious drop in mass compared with aluminium. This is the material choice when every kilo at the corner matters.
The point is not just a lower number on a scale. Less rotating mass changes how the car reacts: faster steering response, cleaner acceleration feel, better control over bumps and less inertia when the car changes direction.
Magnesium is for serious builds: BMW M, Porsche, Toyota GR, Honda Type R, Golf R, Tesla Performance, Audi RS - cars where every gram at the corner changes how the car feels. If aluminium forged is already light, magnesium is the next step for drivers who want the car to feel even sharper.
Chosen for one reason: major weight reduction vs. an equivalent aluminium forged wheel.
Less mass helps the car accelerate, change direction and settle faster.
More alert steering, cleaner feedback, less vagueness at each corner.
For drivers who care about lap feel, fast-road control and the lightest spec that still works.
Aluminium forged wheels are already a performance upgrade. Magnesium is for the driver who wants to go further: less mass, less inertia and a car that feels more alive before the first corner.
Magnesium cuts more weight than an aluminium wheel can at the same design target. That is the whole point.

Open performance wheelsLess corner weight helps the suspension and tyre do their job, especially when the road or lap gets busy.

Magnesium forged wheels do one thing: cut rotating and unsprung mass so the suspension and tyres have less weight to fight.
Magnesium is the material step for drivers who already understand forged aluminium and want a much lighter build.
Open performance wheelsCutting wheel mass helps the car feel more eager under steering, throttle and road-surface changes.
Read LFI track actionMagnesium is chosen when the use case justifies the material and the owner wants the lightest practical spec.

How LFI wheels are madeMagnesium builds need a clear weight target and use case. Send us the car, current wheel and tyre sizes, how you drive it and which model you are considering. We will narrow the options from there.
Bring the car in, compare magnesium models and talk through the weight target in person.
Remote magnesium support for M cars, 911s, Teslas, Corvettes, Mustangs, Type Rs, GR86s, Supras and other US-spec builds.

Quick answers about LFI magnesium forged wheels.
Magnesium Forged is LFI's lightest material option. Exact weight depends on diameter, width, load rating and model.
Magnesium is significantly lighter than aluminium at the same size and construction. The result is less rotating and unsprung mass at every corner: faster direction changes, sharper response and a more alive feel. Exact weight depends on the spec, but the gap versus aluminium is substantial.
Drivers who want maximum weight reduction, sharper response and a more serious fast-road or track-capable feel should consider magnesium.
Yes, when specified for it. Tell us the car, tyre plan and how you drive it, and we will set the spec for your actual use.
Yes. Singapore customers can work with us in person. USA and worldwide customers can spec their build remotely with vehicle, tyre and use details.
For the fastest magnesium recommendation, shoot us your year and model, current wheel and tyre sizes, target weight and how you drive it. We will come back with a spec built around extreme lightness and real response.
