Wheel LSL01

OUR PRINCIPLE: NO FASHION. PURE FUNCTION.

Leitspeed LSL01 forged wheel for Lotus Evora is derived directly from GT motorsports. It will be available for exclusive and selected street sports cars and still shows no compromise in terms of stability and lightness. Our Spec LSL01 is a first step to take high end wheels from the race track to the streets. The start of our street product range is the brand Lotus. And here we focus on the Lotus top end first: The Lotus Evora.

Leitspeed always had the potential to to offer forged wheels on a very high technical level under our own brand name. We keep a close cooperation and friendship with our production partner since long. But until recently there was no urge to do so.

The search for an adaequate wheel for a Lotus Evora changed the game in 2017. If there is no high class aftermarket product including German TÜV available then some one has to make it. And if we are doing it, we do it properly. With no consideration of production cost or fashion.
