Extreme lightweight material
Magnesium is chosen for one reason: major weight reduction compared with an equivalent aluminium forged wheel.
Magnesium Forged is LFI's extreme-lightweight wheel line: built for customers chasing the lightest wheel spec in the world and a serious drop in mass versus an aluminium counterpart. 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 performance briefs: BMW M, Porsche, Toyota GR, Honda Type R, Golf R, Tesla Performance, Audi RS and high-end track-capable builds where the wheel has to earn its place. If aluminium forged is already light, magnesium is the next step for drivers who want the car to feel even sharper.
Magnesium is chosen for one reason: major weight reduction compared with an equivalent aluminium forged wheel.
Less mass at the wheel helps the car accelerate, change direction and settle faster.
The payoff is response you can feel: more alert steering, cleaner feedback and less dullness at the corner.
Best for owners who care about lap feel, fast-road control and the lightest possible wheel direction.
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.
Compared with an aluminium counterpart, magnesium gives the strongest path to cutting wheel weight.

| Use case | Recommended direction | Best fit | LFI note |
|---|---|---|---|
Track-focused build |
Use magnesium to cut rotating mass and sharpen repeated high-speed direction changes. |
BMW M, Porsche, Toyota GR, Civic Type R and similar track-capable cars. |
The lighter the wheel, the more immediate the car feels from braking zone to apex to exit. |
Fast-road performance |
Choose a lighter wheel package for better steering feel and less road heaviness. |
911, Cayman, M2/M3/M4, Supra, Golf R, Type R and Audi RS. |
Magnesium is for owners who want the car to feel more awake without chasing a show spec. |
EV response |
Reduce wheel mass to help heavy, high-torque EVs feel more alert. |
Tesla Model 3/Y, Porsche EV, BMW i and other high-load EV builds. |
Load target and tyre index still matter, but the weight saving is the reason to choose magnesium. |
Flagship lightweight build |
Use magnesium when aluminium forged is not light enough for the brief. |
Founder-level projects, serious street cars and owner-led special builds. |
This is the no-excuses lightweight option in the LFI wheel range. |

Magnesium forged wheels are about performance physics: reduce rotating mass, reduce unsprung mass and give the suspension and tyre less weight to control.
Magnesium is the material step for drivers who already understand forged aluminium and want a much lighter counterpart.
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 possible direction.

How LFI wheels are madeMagnesium builds need a clear weight and use brief. Send us the car, current wheel and tyre sizes, target use, preferred magnesium model and how hard the car is driven. We will narrow the direction from there.
Bring the car in, compare magnesium model direction 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.
Send the car, tyre plan and driving use. We will help decide if magnesium is the right lightweight answer.
Quick answers for LFI's extreme-lightweight magnesium forged wheel range.
Magnesium Forged is LFI's lightest material direction and is built for customers chasing the lightest wheel spec in the world. Exact weight depends on diameter, width, load target and model.
Magnesium is much lighter than an aluminium counterpart, which means less rotating and unsprung mass at the corner of the car.
Owners chasing maximum weight reduction, sharper response and a more serious fast-road or track-capable feel should consider magnesium.
Yes, when the brief is right. Tell us the car, tyre plan and duty cycle so the spec is aimed at the way the car is actually used.
Yes. Singapore customers can work with LFI in person, while USA and worldwide builds can be specified remotely using vehicle, tyre and use details.
For the fastest magnesium recommendation, shoot us your year/model, current wheel and tyre sizes, preferred magnesium model, intended use and weight target. We will come back with a direction built around extreme lightness and response.
