WIN A SET OF NEW GROUP 4 WHEELS LMZ

Enter our latest competition to be in with a chance of seeing your Porsche rolling on this all-new alloy wheel fashioned in the style of those fitted to Porsche’s classic fast-road and competition cars...

Driven by a desire to re-imagine some of the world’s finest motorsport-inspired wheels, but with exacting modern specification, Group 4 Wheels has supplied its products to enthusiasts in charge of some of today’s finest road and race cars. The British company’s desire to succeed in providing high-quality products enhancing both the look and performance of the host vehicle sees the firm constantly striving to develop wheels for cars dating as far back as the 1960s and as recent as today — from an early short-wheelbase 911 to a modern Boxster.

Established in 2009, Group 4 Wheels develops superb wheels manufactured using Alsi7 primary alloy before being heat-treated, a process improving each wheel’s mechanical properties, as is the norm in motorsport. Furthermore, the alloy undergoes a degassing pretreatment limiting the presence of oxygen, which, in turn, minimises cavities in each casting. As you’d expect, all Group 4 Wheels products are subject to strict quality controls, including X-ray inspection and pressure testing to verify the quality of each casting.

Whether a faithful reproduction or a variation on an original design (different widths, diameters, PCDS or offsets to suit modern vehicles), Group 4 Wheels offerings are reimagined classics — it’s about understanding what works and then remastering the design to suit classic and contemporary vehicles in the present. Ferrari, Detomaso and Fiat styles form a large part of the company’s portfolio, but it’s a modern take on classic Porsche wheels which has forged Group 4 Wheels a reputation for providing a safe and stylish solution to equipping treasured sports cars with wheels evoking memories of the golden era of motorsport. It’s no surprise many of the air-cooled classics we encounter at shows are rolling on Group 4 Wheels products.

New to market is LMZ, an aluminium version of Porsche’s classic steel wheel, with all the looks, but a fraction of the weight. Offered in satin silver, satin black, bare aluminium or a combination of satin silver with a cut dish, LMZ can be ordered in sizes ranging from 5x15-inch to 7x15-inch, with offsets of ET36 through ET23. PCD is Porsche’s popular 5x130, with each wheel weighing as little as 6.5kg (5J). A sixteen-inch LMZ is currently in development.
