Litespeed Racing: Pioneering Performance Through Lightweight Engineering
In the elite world of motorsport and high-performance automotive customization, one name consistently rises above the rest: Litespeed Racing. With a legacy rooted in cutting-edge engineering, an unwavering commitment to quality, and a relentless pursuit of innovation, Litespeed Racing has carved out a dominant presence in the custom performance wheel industry. Recognized globally for excellence and craftsmanship, the company is a multiple award-winning manufacturer with a reputation that spans the racetrack and the street.
Born From Passion, Built With Precision
The Litespeed Racing story began in 2006, not with wheels, but with a bold vision—to harness advanced materials and structural engineering to craft the world’s finest lightweight performance accessories for both race and street applications. The company’s first innovation came in the form of carbon fiber engine bay covers, specifically tailored for Audi and Volkswagen vehicles. This leap into carbon composite design marked the inception of what would become over a decade of expertise in carbon fiber manufacturing and performance product engineering.
By 2010, Litespeed Racing expanded its offerings, creating some of the world’s lightest and most acoustically refined titanium exhaust systems. These systems didn’t just improve sound and aesthetics—they reduced up to 50 pounds in weight, a significant gain for any performance vehicle. But for Litespeed, that was only the beginning.
The Breakthrough: Forged Composite and Magnesium Excellence
In 2012, Litespeed Racing once again broke barriers by pioneering the world’s first solid forged composite carbon fiber 3-piece wheel center. This advancement brought a new era in wheel technology, combining aesthetic beauty with engineering brilliance. Through the use of forged composites, the brand achieved performance gains that were once thought impossible, drastically reducing unsprung weight and improving agility, acceleration, and handling.
But Litespeed Racing didn’t stop there. In a move that defied convention, the company has gone on to create a wheel that is even lighter than carbon fiber. Their RS5 monoblock wheel, crafted from a proprietary forged magnesium alloy, represents the cutting edge of performance technology. This breakthrough allows performance enthusiasts and race teams alike to equip their vehicles with wheels that are both lighter and stronger than their carbon fiber counterparts—a feat few in the industry can claim.
Award-Winning Recognition and Industry Respect
Litespeed Racing’s trailblazing innovation has not gone unnoticed. The company is a SEMA Award Winner for Best Wheel, a prestigious accolade in the automotive aftermarket industry. In addition, it has received the Global Media Award for Best Wheel an astounding seven times, reflecting both critical acclaim and global recognition from journalists, engineers, and enthusiasts alike.
These awards speak not only to the quality of the wheels themselves but also to the company’s continued commitment to excellence, innovation, and performance.
