Litespeed RS5D Forged Magnesium Wheel
Formula 1 Inspired Monoblock Racing Wheel
The Litespeed RS5D Forged Magnesium wheel is the directional version of the very popular Litespeed RS5 wheel. Just like the original RS5, countless hours of FEA computer simulation where spent fine tuning every aspect of the RS5D’s geometry for optimal weight reduction and overall strength.
Starting at 15 pounds for an 18-inch wheel, in many instances the Litespeed RS5D Forged Magnesium wheel will be the among the lightest wheels available in the industry. In fact, the Litespeed RS5D magnesium monoblock is so light, it's actually lighter than some full carbon fiber wheels.
Litespeed Racing wheels are competition-proven on tracks across the world, from road courses to autocross to quarter-mile and half-mile top speed races.

Fully Forged From Magnesium Alloy
In a quest to build the lightest wheel possible, Litespeed actually started with the obvious solution: carbon fiber. It's a seemingly magical material, with super-high tensile strength and super-low density. But the resulting wheel was not as light as expected, mainly because a lot of carbon needs to be added to make it safe enough to withstand impacts. Also, carbon fiber can't be formed into strong complex shapes like I-beams.
Forged magnesium is the solution to these problems. Modern forged magnesium alloys are light years ahead of the old school “mag” wheels made from cast magnesium. Litespeed Racing’s proprietary forged magnesium alloy actually outperforms forged aluminum in both tensile strength and fatigue strength, while being a naturally lighter material. The result is forged magnesium monoblock wheels that, in many cases, are actually lighter than some OEM full carbon fiber wheels of the same size.
