To say the speedwells Porsche 997 Turbo-R is evolving is an understatement, it’s come a very long way from its first incarnation, finished in Black with fitted with a set of 14x19 VAD CR Evolution 6 spokes, it was such a sinister looking beast and we never thought for one minute that look could be improved, but we were oh so very wrong, in its latest overhaul this is one 997 that just gets sexier every time we see it.

So what’s changed since the last shoot we did with this beauty, well quite a lot under the skin with a huge boost in power, with now over 700 + BHP to play with. On the outside apart from the colour change which we covered in an older blog post the engine cove and rear wing assembly has also been changed to a GT3 style which suits the built so much better with a larger rear wing also in preparation so it can be changed according to Iby's mood.

The rear bumper has also had a slight update with a mesh grill delete so you get to see the stainless x pipe exhaust set up, which looks so much cleaner.

So what’s next for this this impeccable build, only time will tell, but you can rest assured we will bring you any changes that happen over the up and coming hibernation period that’s due over the winter months.

 

Its been a while in the making but a long last we finally get to see the GT3RR F1M wheel design in all its glory for an up and coming build we are involved in.

We have supplied our full carbon fibre aero kit for our freind David Alvarez from Texas USA who over the last few months has been putting together a very special GTR, a full road going GTR GT3, with extra goodues like the full carbon and alcantara interior make over and a few other neat touches like our dry carbon roof and our LiteBlox carbon battery.

14X20 GT3RR F1M Magnesium Forged 3 piece Wheel


As with any build the wheels maketh the car and David has cut no corners in that department either, ordering our latest GT3RR Magnesium F1 wheel, 3 piece configuartion with a concave profile, and its a beauty.


Its not very often a wheel design stops us in our tracks, but this all new F1M design really is a stunner, David went with a matt black centre with Motorsport text and a carbon fibre overlaid outer rim in sizes 12x20 front and 14x20 rear that will house 325/30R20 & 345/30R20 front and rear respectively, its one build we just cant wait to see finished.


The GT3RR F1M is available in Forged Magnesium or Forged Aliminium in a range of sizes from 18" up to 22" in various widths and offsets catered for, offered with a huge range of finishes in 1, 2 or 3 piece configuration.

Our magnesium forged wheel designs are growing at a very fast rate, as demand intensifies for the super lightweight forged material, manufactured and available for road or track applications.

So why are magnesium wheels in such demand, well for a couple of stand out reasons, the strength of the material being one as well as the weight of the product, this along with the reduced unsprung weight is also a huge benefit, with so many more advantages.

They are good at dissipating the energy of vibrations, magnesium wheels improve acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle, as the mass of the car and moment of inertia of the wheels is also reduced, tyre and suspension component wear is also drastically reduced, along with braking distances, the benefits of magnesium are endless, with the only negative side being the slightly higher price over a forged aluminium alternative.

Litespeed racing RS5 Forged Magnesium Monoblock wheel design

The Litespeed RS5 wheel above is the latest magnesium wheel design to be launched for road or track applications, shown with here in its 1 Piece Monoblock centre lock configuration for the Amazing Porsche 991.2 GT3-RS, with its 9.5x20 front and 12.5x21 rear set-up, machined perfectly to house the original specially produced Michelin Sports Cup 2 tyres.

The RS5 will also be available as a 3 piece forged wheel, magnesium centre with forged rim halves or as a 2 piece hybrid magnesium centre and carbon fibre barrel.

all configurations will be available in sizes 18" 19" 20" 21" & 22" sizes with a huge selection of widths, applications and finishes. Get in touch with us for further details on our Magnesium wheel range
