In 2002, Galespeed was founded. Prior to that, after market wheels for races were commonplace, with cast magnesium = high prices, and they were difficult to use on the street. From there, with performance as a given, we focused on design and price range. Taking cue from forged aluminium wheels, a mainstay in four wheel vehicle races, we adopted a concept of establishing custom wheels easily obtainable even by street-use and later one of "world-renowned racing wheels" and began Galespeed's development.
Firstly, we made possible the perfect strength and durability desired in a wheel and a light weight through forged aluminium. Then, in order to propose new concepts never before seen in custom wheels such as our pricing, design, and various color options including polished finishing to the aftermarket, we released the initial model "TYPE-C," created with Galespeed original technology. We did not only simply reduce wheel weight, but we also balanced weight distribution and rigidity with driving ability in mind and implemented wheels that overcame varied hurdles. |

Starting from the still-beloved "TYPE-C," Galespeed released 5 types of forged aluminium wheels created with unique machining technology, a lightweight forged magnesium wheels, and a carbon composite wheel through joint development with Dome Carbon Magic Co., and transformed custom wheels into something familiar. Being able to choose from many variations in itself is one of the joys of customizations.

In 2010, the "world-renowned racing wheels" we strove for since start-up became a reality, and as a result of accumulating accomplishments in drive test after drive test and in races, we at last made our debut in the Moto 2 class in Moto GP. Galespeed took a huge first step towards being a world brand. That next year, feeding back the experience and know-how of each race, we developed the "TYPE-GP1" racing wheel. Since then, it has been adopted by many racing teams for races within and outside of Japan, continuing to achieve good results.
It has been 10 years since Galespeed's establishment. Regardless of whether it's in the racing or customization genres, we have changed the environment of wheels in a major way. As wheels with higher rigidity and lighter weight are being sought after with the evolution of tires, Galespeed has grown forged wheels into the linchpin of wheel customization. |

The progress of technology will continue. Technologies polished in leading races, new materials and manufacture methods are fed back to the product, and Galespeed will continue to evolve to make even higher quality wheels.
8 types of designs with 3 types of materials. *As of April 2013
The commonality between all Galespeed wheels is that each is created with the concepts of "peace of mind," "safety" and "high added value." Wheels created from repeated trial and error are carefully assembled one at a time by the hands of our all certified staff. |
This in order to deliver the added value of satisfaction to all customers who own Galespeeds along with supreme custom parts. In a customization scene that continues to evolve, Galespeed is contending for the world from Japan. In 2013, along with the DYNAVOLT INTACT GP racing team, we begin a new challenge to Moto GP. |
