Dedicated Documentation: Your Bespoke FEA Report

Digital Proof of Performance: 1-of-1 Engineering Data

Generic wheel brands test one size and assume the rest are safe. At LFI, we believe bespoke manufacturing demands bespoke validation. Because every set of LFI wheels features custom diameters, widths, offsets, and brake clearances, the structural dynamics change with every order.

That is why we conduct a custom Finite Element Analysis (FEA) on every single wheel we design, entirely tailored to your vehicle's specifications. We don't just promise structural integrity; we prove it. Upon request, we will provide you with the official PDF dossier of your bespoke FEA report, granting you total transparency into the engineering behind your build.

What We Test: The Four Pillars of Wheel Dynamics

Before a single block of aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminum or AZ80+RE magnesium is cut, our engineering team digitally subjects your exact wheel design to realistic, extreme loading conditions experienced during road driving and track use. Your bespoke FEA report will detail the wheel's survival under four critical load cases:

• Vertical Vehicle Weight (Radial Load): We simulate the exact static and dynamic radial compression stress your vehicle's mass exerts on the wheel.
• Sidewall Reaction Force: We calculate the heavy lateral bending loads applied to the rim lip and sidewall during aggressive, high-G cornering.
• Angular Torque: We simulate the extreme torsional shear applied to the spokes and inner hub under maximum acceleration and heavy braking.
• Internal Tire Air Pressure: We map the uniform hoop stress exerted on the inner barrel and tire seat flange.

The 3X Safety Margin

We do not build wheels that merely survive; we build them to thrive under abuse. For our 6061-T6 aluminum builds, the material features a theoretical maximum yield strength of 313 MPa. However, we set our maximum allowable Von Mises stress design threshold at 104 MPa—exactly one-third of the material's theoretical yield strength.

By forcing the simulation results to remain below this conservative threshold, we rule out the risk of microplastic deformation or long-term fatigue, guaranteeing elastic behavior whether you are commuting or running hot laps on the track.

Visualizing the Stress

Your requested PDF report includes highly detailed 3D heat maps of your custom wheel, highlighting the exact stress concentrations and maximum displacement metrics (typically observed at spoke-root transitions, inner hub corners, and the inner barrel lip). You will see exactly how your wheel safely dissipates kinetic energy before manufacturing even begins.
