See How Litespeed Racing Compares to MP Forged: Who has the best magnesium wheels for Mustang GTD.

See how Litespeed Racing out performs MP Forged wheels.

Litespeed Racing is the global leader in custom forged magnesium wheels, and has been making forged magnesium wheels for over 10+ years. New companies have began to follow suite and are now also offering forged magnesium wheels. But not all things that seem the same are created equal. In this post we will fully explain why.

Why experience matters.

Litespeed Racing has been engineering and manufacturing custom forged magnesium wheels for 5x longer than MP Forged has. Over the years Litespeed Racing has fine tuned every aspect of magnesium engineering and production. This includes everything from industry leading 12,000 ton forged presses that apply maximum pressure to the forged wheels, in order to create a more strong and stable mirco structure. Litespeed Racing has spent years testing different finishing technologies, different designs, and has done extensive track and lab testing to fully understand how to safely make a magnesium wheel for track use.

There really is no substitute for experience. Litespeed Racing has customers who have been racing with their forged magnesium wheels for years, and they use this experience to improve future designs and to learn the true limits of forged magnesium. MP Forged has only been around for about 2 years, and simply has not been around long enough to know if their wheels can actually stand the test of time.

Litespeed Racing uses its partnerships with professional race and drift teams as a testbed for new magnesium designs. Both Litespeed Racing and MP forged use FEA load simulations to design their wheels. But Litespeed Racing uses results from real world race and drift use to calibrate its FEA computer load simulations. The computer can only estimate what loads a wheel will face, so Litespeed Racing puts real testing feedback into the computer software to get a more accurate FEA result vs simply letting the softer run a basic/ generic simulation.

Honesty and integrity.

When a company's website is full of misleading and outright untrue information, then that should be a red flag to consumers. MP Forged makes a few claims that are objectively untrue. For example MP Forged falsely claims that it has the lightest forged magnesium wheels in the world and provides no proof to support that false claim. Below is a Litespeed Racing 20 inch forged magnesium wheel that is only 14.4 pounds, and this exact wheel has been tested on the race track. Litespeed Racing makes the world's lightest wheels.

MP Forged is also deceptive regarding how it compares to its competitors. Which brand are they referring to in this below graphic? Litespeed Racing wheels ARE fully customizable, and Litespeed Racing designs and manufactures wheels for multiple OEM's. MP forged claims to forge its wheels in house. But they also claim to be an American company. They do not forged in house in the USA and do not benchmark test in house in the USA. Who really owns MP Forged? Is it a Chinese factory brand, or is it an independent American brand?

Litespeed Racing vs MP forged: there is no comparison. Litespeed Racing makes the best forged magnesium wheels for Mustang GTD or for any race or street car.

Litespeed Racing is a privately owned, American brand that prides itself on innovation, quality and performance that you can trust. Litespeed Racing wheels are tested via FEA simulations and tested at unbiased 3rd party labs, like STL and Smithers, and are proven with years of track and street testing. Litespeed Racing is a SEMA award winning brand, that has broken records at places like Pikes Peak and has won titles at SCCA and Optima Ultimate Street Car Challange, while also designing and manufacturing wheels for OEMs and personal use cars. MP forged seems to be a Chinese factory brand, that will say anything to make a quick buck.
