Since they are only used as racing rims, LOMA GT COMPETITION are totally custom and they are not mass produced, so you can’t buy them in the local shop. What is more, the offsets can be produced as needed, so that they can enhance the track of a vehicle, while the tire pressure can be aligned with high precision, thus allowing more constant performance.

LOMA is currently offering the GT COMPETITION racing rim in 18- or 19-inch size for all Ferrari 458 of the GT-class and for the Ferrari Challenge models.

And because of the need of refilling tire gas filling, there are also invisible valves with adequate tiring. And finally there will be and available valve exhaust system with some serious loudness and a set of carbon parts. How cool is that.

Furthermore, LOMA underlines that it is the only manufacturer of forged rims in Europe, that makes custom deluxe rims.

Surely, features like these are only going to benefit the LOMA team.

In fact, besides the direct contacts in USA (New York City and Los Angeles) the LOMA also have and incredibly efficient cooperation with Porsche sports car center at Marbella, Spain and the Mercedes-AMG center BELTRAN at Barcelona.
