I just changed from forged aluminum to forged magnesium so he had to make some tweaks to the design. He's finished those and it's now out for FEA testing.
Don't worry, I'll be doing a full review.
Yes please post pics when you can. I'm interested in ordering a set from litespeed. I've owned HRE's before. They're very nice quality wheels, but I'm over the premium and seller mark ups.
CNC machine went down so they're backed up. Won't start machining process for a couple weeks.
Will definitely let you all know when something comes up.
I have yet to see a real world review/actual wheel in flesh of this company. I have searched and searched the entire internet for so long but came up empty. I would not hesitate to buy from them if they had established themselves a bit.

There is not a ton of information out there. He has done a few different business ventures under the Litespeed Racing name, including CF bikes and car parts along with the wheels.
I don't know if you saw this on YouTube or not.
I understand your hesitancy. Just wait and see how we fair first. https://www.youtube.com/user/TheLitespeedracing/videos
I spent some time looking at Litespeed wheels but inevitably just went with FI-R's as they still seemed to be the lightest possible and by far the most interesting design and finish with the relief cuts in the spokes in Platinum Gloss.
Sucks I have to wait til September, here in New Hampshire ill only have a month to enjoy them lol. We'll, it is a 4S actually... 😈 ❄
This is a teaser pic of my magnesium fronts, 20x9 et45 in the raw. The wheels are already out for powder coating.
The rears are 20x12 et71 and weigh 21lbs even. No, my design is not weight optimized (lightest possible). If I wanted that, I would have gone for an RS5 Track Spec and could have had wheels that look like 50 other manufacturers wheels.
I wanted something bespoke and of my own design. These are going to look very cool on my build and I can't wait to get them!

Those are not that light I m afraid. I have signature wheels that came out at 20.4 lbs for similar size (12" wide) which include paint. Yours dont include paint. I thought the fronts were in 15 lbs and rears 18 lbs? How much do the oem magnesium wheels weigh for WP GT3RS? Please keep in mind the signature wheels cost less than half of these magnesium wheels.
