Who are we? Why Trust Us?
We understand that reputation is everything, and that many of you may not know who we are. Our parent company MKW Alloy Inc. has been in the wheel industry since 1999. Though this is the case, a long history and strong reputation do not mean anything if your product isn’t quality. Yet, quality is relative to the eye of the beholder. So what does quality mean to us?
Road+Street+Race
A Performance Driven Wheel Brand
Est. 2015
Designed with spirited driving in mind, Road Street Race (RSR) aims to join performance and build quality with the styling standards of today’s market. What we’re trying to say is that not everyone can develop products that push the envelope, and that is what we aim to do on a daily.
Product development at Road Street Race has pushed the brand beyond typical standards bringing monoblock Forged Magnesium wheels to RSR in 2015. One year later, RSR’s biggest accomplishment would come from manufacturing a 20x10” wheel to weigh in under 17.5 lbs.
Magnesium Alloy
Magnesium alloy is an ultra-light material with enormous dampening power [10x greater than aluminum, titanium, and steel] making for the perfect track wheel. If you missed Track Wheels 101, the benefits of going with lighter wheels are:

- enhanced braking and acceleration
- improved effectiveness of the suspension due to reduced unsprung weight
- improved handling from reduced mass
Forged vs. Flow formed vs. cast
Why go full forged over cast or flow formed (a.k.a. rotary forged, spun cast, flow forged, etc)? All wheels are not invincible. Forged wheels provide you the extra cushion for driving on the road, especially if you live in an area with tons of potholes and uneven roads.
A forged aluminum wheel has a higher specific strength as well as higher toughness (engineering term for its ability to absorb energy) in comparison to a casted wheel. This allows our engineers to design a wheel that is lighter, stiffer and less susceptible to cracking under impact and with better fatigue properties than a casted wheel.

Forged Wheels
- Lighter than cast and flow formed wheels
- stiffer and less susceptible to cracking under impact
Monoblock Forged Wheels
- Stronger than multi-piece wheels
- Lighter than multi-piece wheels
- No seal issues as with multi-piece wheels

KNURLED BEAD SEAT
This helps to counteract tire slippage/rotation, which in turn maintains proper balance during situations where it would be otherwise be thrown off, i.e. at the track or on a mountain run)
We also offer wheel and tire packages and installs for our local clients.
These are in stock and ready to ship!!
Please PM, Email or Call Nate for Special Pricing, Packages, or Fitment Questions.
