The DYMAG HALO Wheel sets a new benchmark in carbon hybrid engineering. Both the Forged Aluminium Centre and the patented DYMAG BX-F Carbon Barrel are designed and manufactured entirely by DYMAG, delivering unmatched precision, performance, and refinement.

DYMAG Technologies Limited has unveiled the HALO-X Carbon Hybrid Wheel, engineered specifically for the Porsche 992.1 911 GT3 RS. This advanced wheel integrates a forged T6 aluminum center with DYMAG's proprietary BXF 4.0 carbon fiber rim, delivering exceptional strength and stiffness while significantly reducing weight.

Weighing just 7.49 kg at the front and 9.77 kg at the rear, the HALO-X wheels offer enhanced acceleration, braking, and cornering performance. Designed to meet SAE and JWL standards, with TUV approval pending, these wheels are a testament to DYMAG's commitment to combining cutting-edge composite technology with motorsport-grade durability.

DYMAG HALO Wheel Headline specifications: Front - Size: 20 x 10, Load Rating: 350kg, Weight: 7.49kg Rear - Size: 21 x 13, Load Rating: 615kg, Weight: 9.77kg Certification: SAE, JWL and most international standards at launch. TUV approval in progress.

DYMAG HALO Wheel Key Features: Super-Lightweight Forged Aluminium Centrepiece with Carbon Fibre Rim; Road Legal (SAE passed, TUV approval in progress); High-Stiffness Characteristics; Updated, Sleeker Rim Profile; Alternative Finishes Available, Including Forged Weave, Red, and Blue Tints; Compatibility: Porsche (992.1) 911 GT3 RS (992.2 coming soon).

Christopher Shelley, Director of DYMAG Technologies Limited, said: "HALO represents the most advanced and exclusive production wheel in our history. Marking our 50th Anniversary year, this new wheel draws on half a century of racing successes - from F1, Indycar and Le Mans through to World and Dakar Rally. It's also the pinnacle of our production car programme, which has seen DYMAG adopted by OEMs including Aston Martin and Koenigsegg, as well as aftermarket options for BMW, Porsche and Ferrari."

HALO underlines the company's commitment and vision to delivering benchmark solutions for track drivers and competition racers. In developing this wheel as an upgrade for what is considered the ultimate road-legal track car, DYMAG aims to demonstrate once more that the wheels set the standard for performance.

Light-weighting is a key feature of the GT3 RS, with carbon fibre used extensively throughout the vehicle. In addition to further reducing vehicle kerb weight, HALO wheels significantly enhance handling dynamics by reducing unsprung weight and the wheel's gyroscopic effect and rotational inertia. All this translates to even better braking, acceleration, and sharper directional changes.

HALO is the first new wheel following DYMAG Technologies' acquisition by wheel giant BORBET GmbH.
