We have been looking for a local European based custom brand of forged wheels for a while now as most of our wheels come from importing from either the USA or Japan, so as well as the time scale we have to air freight in every set, which all adds to the cost of the product.

European manufacturing isn't the powerhouse that it used to be thanks to the Chinese wheel foundries putting a lot of the European brands out of business, but we are happy to report that Europe has fought back and once again are a force in the market, all helped by the fact that most end users finally realising that most of the Chinese wheel foundries make a pretty bad product, Europe is on the up with regards wheel manufacturing, with some companies branching out into the world of custom forged wheel machining, FOM Performance, OZ Racing, MB Design, Schmidt Wheels, R3 Wheels, ATS Wheels to name just a few brands that are making some serious waves across the global scene and its great to see these brands so strong in the market.

One company we have been following the progress of for a while is NTM wheels, based in Zero Branco (Treviso) Italy they have been quietly building some pretty impressive wheels, to the point that we got in touch with regards representing the brand, which can be viewed and ordered on our website.

The Ferrari 488 is one of the world’s most beautiful cars, Ferrari never seem to fail they produce the most aesthetically pleasing looking cars, new models always better than the one they are to replace, look at the model line up, 348, 355, 360 Modena, F430, 458, all stunning examples, with each one better than the one it replaced, in every detail, so you would think with something so beautiful it would be difficult to make any improvements on the look of a factory Ferrari, well you would be wrong.

A couple of areas you can make improvements is the stance and the wheels, like they say wheels maketh the car and its true even with the mighty looking Ferrari models. with this particular example has being re-shoed with our Hyper Forged LC5 which has enhanced its beauty to another level.

The finish chosen was Brushed Anodised Black, with anodised Matte Black outer inner and outer barrels, with titanium hardware, in sizes 9.5x21 and 12.5x22 wrapped in 255/30R21 and 335/25R22 Pirelli Tyres front and rear respectively.

Our Magnesium wheel sales are slowly taking off thanks to clientèle that want only the very best for their road or race car, they want the pinnacle product and that for us is Magnesium.

Our magnesium range consists of 1 piece forged monoblock, or 2 piece forged barrels with Magnesium centres, the 1 piece limited to sizes and widths, so we can not accommodate every application with the 1 piece wheel, especially the bespoke builds, but the 2 piece we can build pretty much any application.

To showcase our products we will be building a set of our 2 piece for Anthony Gaylard mighty Nissan GTR that is currently under going some major aero upgrades for another assault around the green hell, the superb Nordschleife, or Nurburgring as its fondly known, with another go at the sub 7 minute lap, and this time Anthony is holding nothing back, his GTR will be wider, with a lot more features based on aerodynamics, and with the sneak peek we have had its one awesome looking machine.

Anthony's GTR has the very best of everything, its a complete beast of a car, with Alcon supplying the adjustable peddle box as well as an all new braking system, we will reveal more of those parts when the car breaks cover.

VAD Forged Magnesium 2 piece

With the new upgrades, especially the wider front and rear bodywork he needs wheels, and for Anthony only the best will do, so we will be producing our 12x19 & 13x19 2 piece forged magnesium wheels, with titanium hardware, weight should be circa 7.9kg per wheel .

So what are the benefits of forged magnesium over forged aluminium. Magnesium is the lightest metallic structural material available, its less dense than Aluminium, so Magnesium wheels can be designed to be significantly lighter than its Aluminium counterpart, so not only is it lighter is also a stronger material.

For further details on our Magnesium line up, sizes, prices and applications, get in touch with us today, we will be happy to discuss your personal build requirements, for the road or the track we will have you covered.
