Inspiration Takes the Wheel

Reinvent Your Wheel

Lacks applications open up a world of design possibilities

From completely original surface designs to XPOSE® technology insert systems on existing wheels, Lacks wheel trim composite applications offer a wide range of wheel options to fit your engineering and design needs. Our technologies allow a single backbone to accommodate a number of designs without altering the engineering standards. By separating design from the wheel structure, design restraints may be eliminated, trim-level differentiation is simple, and the wheel life cycle is extended. Mass reduction and advancements in aerodynamic performance offer fuel-economy savings without sacrificing design or functionality.

Chromtec®

Chromtec® is a full composite design surface permanently bonded to a wheel structure

• A range of style options on the same validated wheel structure reduces tooling and testing costs, extending vehicle life cycle management
• By simply changing the finish Lacks Wheel Trim System technology can extend the life of the wheel—making refreshing/trim level differentiation intuitive
• A range of finish and texture options presents a rich and compelling array of design opportunities
• Composite wheel construction ensures design freedom independent of mass and stiffness targets

Xpose® single-piece composites

Xpose® single-piece partial composites design surface enhances underlying visible wheel structure

XPOSE® inserts increase design potential and versatility of a visible wheel backbone. With finish and texture variability, XPOSE® improves design capability adding finish contrast options, spoke variations, and aerodynamic applications to a validated wheel backbone.

Xpose® Multipiece Composites

Xpose® multipiece partial composites multiply the design potential of a visible wheel backbone

XPOSE® inserts enhance the finish capabilities available through unmatched flexibility. Insert and backbone interaction options expand design potential and add complexity to the design story.

Why XPOSE® partial composite inserts?

• Provides best-in-class fit and finish through gap control and accurate location of insert technology to the wheel assembly, resulting in fewer field issues such as BSRs
• High quality, solid feel than mechanically fastened inserts
• Extends wheel life cycle with increased refreshibility and shorter design cycles

eVolve®

Lacks composite wheel design flexibility can enhance wheel surface aerodynamic optimization potential. Coupled with inherent weight-saving characteristics, Lacks eVolve® wheel technology contributes to improved fuel economy and a lower carbon footprint

• Minimizes weight and has the potential to improve aerodynamics, the key to better fuel economy
• Lighter weight backbone yields a lower backbone wheel cost
