Our wheels have not been tested or approved for road use outside of the UK. For this reason our wheels are sold for competition use only. We have performed destructive testing on our wheels to ensure the product is safe and strong enough to withstand expected loads on track.

Our forged lips are heat treated 6061 Aluminium to T6 condition. Heat treated lips are very strong but very difficult to manufacture. It takes a huge amount of force to spin forge a heat treated lip, which requires large equipment. Compare this to an un-heat treated lip or barrel which is easier to manufacture but is significantly weaker so is more likely to crack. Our lips are available in two different finishes: Polished or brushed.

We have specifically designed our wheels to be period correct whilst being unique. We use a low bolt count, a small flange width, small face diameter and a large radius step lip to create this look. Modern wheels often sacrifice these details in the name of cost saving. We feel these details are critical in obtaining the period correct look of small diameter 3-piece wheels manufactured in Japan in the 80s.

Our lips are designed with a small centre bore and a small flange. This allows the step in the lip to be as large as possible, utilising a large radius to create that period correct look we're all familiar with.

Modern wheels tend to use a high bolt count (~30 bolts) to hold the wheel together. Our wheels use the same method seen on vintage Japanese wheels. Our 4-hole wheels use 8 bolts in total, and the 5-hole designs use 10 bolts. The lips are then welded together with the faces to create an air tight assembly.
