MF17 is the straightforward EV forged upgrade: clean, strong, and easy to fit into a daily electric build without making the car look over-modified.

MF17 works when the goal is a lighter, cleaner replacement for OEM wheels with fitment chosen around EV weight, tire size, and daily comfort. The current table spans roughly 8.3 to 16.7 kg depending on size, so smaller fitments favor response while larger fitments add stance and load reserve.
This simple EV forged upgrade is ordered around EV curb weight, instant torque, tire load, brake clearance, offset target, and daily comfort so the wheel suits the way the car is actually driven.
Good for compact EVs, daily crossovers, and owners who want a forged wheel that looks factory-plus rather than flashy.
The Tesla Model 3 Highland reference shows MF17 as a clean EV-compatible forged direction. LFI can adjust width, offset, finish, and center-bore machining around the final Tesla or EV platform.
MF17 is suited to customers who prefer a quieter EV wheel style instead of an aggressive motorsport face, while still keeping forged construction and custom fitment control.



Approximate weight excludes center cap and valve. Final production weight varies with brake clearance, load rating, offset, bolt pattern, center profile, EV axle-load rating, and machining depth.

LFI concave profiles are built around the relationship between wheel width, offset, diameter, brake clearance, load rating, and forging depth. The goal is simple: push the face as deep as the car allows, without compromising EV fitment, caliper clearance, or structural integrity.
The Maximum Concave Face option is available for selected LFI forged wheel designs. Depending on wheel width and offset, the face profile can be tuned from mild concave to a much deeper spoke drop.
Wider wheels and lower offsets generally allow stronger concavity. For EV builds, LFI also checks axle load, tire load index, brake envelope, and range or comfort goals before recommending an aggressive face.
Concavity is not selected by diameter alone. The final face depth is calculated from the full fitment package: rim width, offset, brake clearance, vehicle platform, load rating, and the chosen forged wheel design.



Some high-offset vehicles do not naturally allow a deep spoke profile because the wheel face must sit further outward to clear the hub and brake package. For these applications, LFI can offer a specialized heavy-duty blank option that creates a more pronounced concave look while keeping the fitment usable.
This is especially useful for EV sedans and crossovers where the customer wants a stronger visual stance but still needs proper inner clearance, brake clearance, tire load, and road-use reliability.
Deep concavity must be balanced against caliper clearance, suspension clearance, fender position, tire width, axle load, and the actual offset range the vehicle can accept. The most aggressive face is not always the best face for every car.
LFI will always prioritize a correct forged-wheel fitment over forcing a face profile that creates clearance problems.
The deep concave forging concept shown below demonstrates how a pronounced face profile can be achieved even on a relatively high-offset fitment, using a 19x8.5J ET42 reference example.

Knurled bead seats can help reduce tire movement on higher-torque applications, including heavy EVs and sticky tire setups. LFI can quote this where the use case justifies it.
Reinforcement ribs can add barrel rigidity where the final specification, road conditions, tire package, or vehicle weight calls for extra reserve.
Yes. LFI positions MF17 as an EV-oriented forged wheel design for customers who want a cleaner electric-platform visual direction with custom fitment, finish, and load-target review.
Yes. The design can still be specified for compatible petrol, hybrid, and performance platforms when brake clearance, bolt pattern, center bore, width, offset, and load rating are confirmed.
Yes. Availability depends on the final vehicle, brake package, load rating, width, offset, and forging blank. LFI confirms the exact size before production.
Yes. EVs can carry higher axle loads and instant torque, so LFI reviews load rating, tire load index, brake clearance, center bore, hardware, and intended use before machining.
Yes. LFI can quote gloss, satin, brushed, polished, black, silver, bronze, body-color, and selected custom finishes depending on the wheel design and production route.
Send LFI your exact model, year, brake package, current tire size, target wheel diameter, preferred stance, range/comfort priority, and finish direction. LFI will confirm whether MF17 is the right Electric Series direction before production.
