Automotive enthusiasts seeking a performance edge can now equip their vehicles with cutting-edge, forged magnesium wheels, derived from Formula One racing technology. Magnesium.com has recently launched one-piece, forged magnesium wheels for street applications in North America. These wheels offer a significant weight reduction, being 20% to 30% lighter than forged aluminum alternatives, while simultaneously enhancing safety and performance. According to Mark Lisnyansky, president of Magnesium.com, the company aims to target a vital segment within the expansive North American wheel market. Initially, the magnesium alloy wheels are available in 20-inch and 22-inch sizes and feature an advanced anti-corrosion coating. The company plans to expand its product line with wheels of varying sizes and compositions tailored for specific North American vehicle applications. Lisnyansky notes the shift away from steel wheels towards cast aluminum, highlighting the advantages of forged wheels, particularly forged magnesium, for performance enthusiasts. Forged magnesium wheels provide improved safety through shorter braking distances, quicker acceleration, and enhanced fuel efficiency. Magnesium’s superior dampening capabilities effectively absorb road vibrations, offering a smoother and more controlled driving experience. Leveraging specialized aviation industry equipment, Magnesium.com has a proven track record in producing high-performance wheel forgings for Superbike and Formula One competitions. The wheels are forged in Russia by a dedicated subsidiary and then meticulously machined and finished in Italy, ensuring top-tier quality and precision.
