Litespeed C5M Forged Magnesium Wheel
Five-Spoke Classically Sculpted Racing Wheel
The Litespeed C5M Forged Magnesium wheel is a classic, timeless, and strong design. Countless hours of FEA computer simulations were put into fine tuning every aspect of the C5M’s geometry, with a focus on strength and maintaining the classic lines of this design. The Litespeed C5M looks good on any car and will never go out of style.
The Litespeed C5M Forged Magnesium wheel is an superb choice for road course and autocross racing, because of its strong and stiff design that reduces wheel flex through threshold braking and hard cornering.
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.
Every Litespeed Racing wheel is custom made to fit your specifications for size, offset, color, finish, brake clearance and load rating. Once you've made your purchase, give us a call at (844) 438-7244 to select the specs, color and finish that suit your application!
