Brilliant shock-absorbers – soften bumps and vibrations. Magnesium alloy shock-absorbing qualities are 100 times higher than that of aluminium, which allows the absorbtion of bumps and vibrations thus decreasing vibration strain on the engine, suspension parts and transmission. As a result your car becomes more comfortable to ride.

High heat conductivity of the magnesium alloy results in faster cooling down of brake gear and the centre of the wheel. This extends the life of the brake block.

The light weight of a magnesium wheel is due to the fact that magnesium alloys are the lightest of all structural materials. They are 1.5 times lighter than aluminium and over four times (4.3) lighter than steel. Decreased wheel mass allows a 15-20% reduction in the unsprung cars mass. It absorbs load and reduces shaking on the way. A light wheel is easier to spin out and brake – so acceleration and brake characteristics improve.

5% fuel saving in the city and over 5-7% on the motorway.

All those unique qualities of magnesium wheels put them beyond any comparisson when choosing wheels for racers.
