F1-R Magnesium Forged Wheel

Back in November we showcased new forged magnesium wheel design from GT3RR, which is a little homage to the OZ F1 wheel design and they have been making little detail changes over the last few weeks to make it exactly how they want the final design to look, and we are happy to report the wheel is ready to machine and to say we are excited is an understatement.

Our BMW Z4 GT3 V8 will be one car that this wheel design will be fitted to, 11x19 and 13x19 combo with the Matt black centre and Gloss black barrels, we are very much looking forward to see this wheel on our finished Z4 GT3. Another couple of builds we have going on that will also be fitted with F1R will be a fresh UK Speedwells Supra build in White and a Nissan GTR GT3 build that’s happening in Texas, both wheel sets ups are going to really enhance the look of this design, with huge lips and maximum concave, which is going to look incredible.

The sizes for this design are the usual 3 piece wheel sizes, 18” 19” 20” 21” 22” and 24” will also be added to the size list if required, all widths, colours and applications will be available, including centre lock and bespoke builds, building something crazy and would like this wheel design, lets discuss your requirements in detail.

The design is available in both forged magnesium and forged aluminium, for the people looking for the ultimate lightweight wheel the magnesium forged wheel will not disappoint, it’s really is incredibly light weight and can be used on the track or the street.

We are happy to be supporting such a high quality brand and product, get in touch with us for more details on this wonderful design.

Magnesium Forged Wheels

Custom manufactured forged wheels, it seems like everyone and their dog now makes and sells a forged wheel brand, they seem to open up and close down on a monthly basis is the USA and all with one aim, to sell as many wheels as possible, there are very few wheel brands that have stood the test of time, apart from the very few, and most have poor business ethics, we could write a book on all the problems or issues we have encountered throughout the years with various manufacturers, but we are in a better place, selling and promoting our own product as well as going back to our roots selling Japanese custom bespoke forged wheels.

We have been looking for a wheel design for our own project car for the last 12 months, we have a set on the car that will be turned into door stops, wall clocks or coffee tables, as they will definitely not be used on the build, we have had so many offers from various wheel brands and some have been rather tempting, but for our build we really want something a little different to the usual designs that are a copy and paste from one brand to another.

We are avid Formula-1 fans and have been for a long time, we also have a huge passion for bespoke wheels and they really do not get any better than the super lightweight F1 Magnesium race wheels, from O.Z Racing, BBS, Rays Engineering and Enkei have all made some stunning designs, our personal favourites are from O.Z Racing, the fact we have seen these wheels being manufactured back in the early 90's left an everlasting impression, so that is the design that we really want to pay homage to on our own build, the fact the design is a stunner is the added bonus.

For our BMW Z4 GT3 we are running 11x19 front and 13x19 rear, the decision we have to make will be whether we build a super lightweight wheel and use Magnesium or build a more conventional more affordable aluminium forged option with titanium hardware as it's a design we can make from both materials, we will also be producing in 1 piece monoblock in magnesium and aluminium forged.

Global Time Attack Buttonwillow Raceway

The 8th & 9th of November will be a couple of days we remember quite fondly, as two builds that we have collaborated on took to the track in anger and we are pleased to say they did pretty well.

We have discussed David Haagsma on a few our our blog posts over the past few months as we have been watching his GTR come to life, Scott over at Sicchops being the man responsible for updating the look for the 2018 season fitting our aero kit and totally transforming the look, and with David's finishing touches we couldn't wait for him to hit the track and he didn't disappoint.

Considering its a new look its also a new set up, same amazing engine spec built by the GTR gurus SP Engineering, but a new JRZ suspension set up, along with new RPS Carbon brakes, and other bits of carbon aero to enhance the wider look David came 4th overall in the Super Battle class, and considering there is over 80 cars, thats pretty impressive, we are really looking forward to seeing the car back out in February 2019 next year when it competes at Circuit of the Americans ( COTA)

Another one of collaborations to hit the track which we must admit came as a bit of a surprise, albeit a nice one, the Sleepers Speed Shop Porsche 997 GT3R belonging to Chad Kobayashi, being driving at Buttonwillow by Tommy Contino, who managed a very respectable 7th in class.

We supplied the aero kit for this particular build back in January 2017, and its one we are quite fond of, the fact that we got to work with Len Higa the owner of Sleeper Speed Shop in California was a big pull for us as the company just ooze quality, and the fact that Len is so highly respected, so its always going to be a very special Porsche to us, the fact that Chad has just the very best in the way of parts on this 997 Turbo-R its the pinnacle.

We offer these aero kits for both the Nissan GTR and the Porsche 997 Chassis in various engine configurations, the 997R styling kit is only available in light weight carbon fibre, where as the Nissan GTR aero kit we manufacture in carbon fibre and also GRP, although our GRP is a woven cloth over the old school matt strand, so still a light weight and super strong product without the premium price of carbon.

Our parts for these conversions are extensive, we have our own JRZ or Bilstein suspension that is built to our own specification, big brake upgrades for the serious HP hunters as well as custom exhausts, which includes full bespoke inconel systems, wheels are another product we offer with forged aluminium, forged magnesium, with a magnesium and carbon fibre hybrid wheel also available for the customers looking for the pinnacle super light weight wheel product.

Get in touch with us if you like the look of any of these conversions for road or track use, we can supply all the parts to build as well get these cars put together, we work with a highly skilled teams that love nothing more than building these stunning creations.

For the UK market we have the Speedwells 997 Turbo-R thats under going some serious modification to not only the colour change but the power output too, so thats one to watch out for early next next, and we are also looking to get our own BMW Z4 GT3 V8 back on track, watch this space.
