Compare two street models that have inherited the capabilities of the "TYPE-GP1" racing wheel used by many domestic and foreign racing teams!
Stable during sudden braking or high speed corners while preserving flexibility with radial load, achieving high rigidity and a light weight, it implements the driving capabilities desired in a wheel at new dimensions. |

Aluminium (6061) with light weight, high rigidity and durability. Has the great cost performance characteristic of aluminium.
Each part is cut to its limit in order to lighten the weight of highly rigid aluminium.
Excelling in durability and maintainability, it can be used often and for a long time. |

| Magnesium (AZ80) is approximately 30% lighter than aluminium. Makes specifications close to racing wheels possible. In order to preserve high rigidity in the lightweight magnesium, each part is suitably thickYou can use it with peace of mind, as the rim thickness and flange processing use a design to prevent the cracking that is a concern with magnesium. |

| Although the two wheels look similar at first glance, aside from the hubs they are constructed with entirely different designs matching the special traits of each one's materials. |
| ■ The thickness of the rim |

 |
 |
| Lightweight forged magnesium falls behind in rigidity when compared to forged aluminium. Under conditions where load is put on the wheels such as road surface condition and cornering, compared to forged aluminium, forged magnesium is more likely to crack. |

 |
 |
 |
| The spokes of TYPE-GP1SM are wider and thicker inside compared to TYPE-GP1S. By enlarging the spoke volume, the pocket cutting processing surface is more expansive than that of the TYPE-GP1S. TYPE-GP1SM features a spoke shape whose cuts are more emphasized, and TYPE-GP1S features a spoke shape cut in a supple streamline. |
|
|
| ■ Flanging |
|
|
 |
 |
| TYPE-GP1S is designed with rounded flange corners, but TYPE-GP1SM is designed to be slightly squared. By squaring, rigidity is increased and a solid wheel takes form. |
