Following on from the July 2023 announcement of its technical partnership with Lamborghini Squadra Corse to develop motorsport wheels for the Lamborghini SC63 race car that will participate in the FIA World Endurance Championship and other series from 2024, Ronal Group has shared further details about the monobloc wheels it is developing for the LMDh prototype.
The Ronal Group is partnering with Lamborghini to develop the wheel for its SC63 Le Mans Daytona hybrid (LMDh) race car. The car will participate in the WEC FIA World Endurance Championship and IMSA (International Motor Sport Association) series from 2024. The Swiss wheel maker has vast experience in supplying motorsport-grade wheels, such as the 89 FIA World Champion titles won on its products in Formula 1. It also supplies the World Rally Championship, World Rallycross Championship, Super Touring and GT Racing.
Wheelmaker Ronal Group has published its revised webshop which features a number of additional functions. One of the highlights is a new 3D configurator, which allows various wheel designs, sizes, colours and finishes to be chosen and viewed on a selected vehicle.
The Ronal Group has displayed its latest Ronal and Speedline Corse wheels at the Essen Motor Show (3-11 December, Hall 7) including its innovative new Energy Wheel. The new concept wheel uses a generator to produce energy while driving; storing this energy in a battery. An LED lighting system located in the gaps between the wheel spokes is supplied with this energy and can then light up in different colours, thus also functioning as a warning system. The company’s exhibition highlight was presented in a darkened container to maximise the impact of the patent-pending concept.
After a two-year absence due to the pandemic, the Ronal Group is returning to the Essen Motor Show to present both its Ronal and Speedline Corse brands of wheels. In addition new products from these brands, visitors will see the Energy Wheel concept, the exactly meaning of which is being revealed on-show.
The world’s first carbon neutral wheel comes to market at the end of this month. This is the Ronal R70-blue, and the Ronal Group says it manufactures this passenger car rim using 100 per cent renewable energy and primarily from reused aluminium, a material that’s 100 per cent recyclable.
Demand for new cars has dropped as the COVID-19 pandemic spreads, and vehicle manufacturers have adjusted their production accordingly. Their suppliers have too, and alloy wheel manufacturer Ronal Group is the latest company to announce a temporary shutdown of its facilities. Deliveries of products will continue from existing stocks.

It is particularly suitable for sporty vehicles and combines the necessary clearance for high-performance braking systems with approval for road use.
