Precision in the Detail

The Passion

For some it was steam trains. For others, it was horses. But for us, it was always the cars.

We share your passion, and bring a lifetime of involvement, historical knowledge and engineering skill to provide the best possible wheels for your car.

Our craftsmen are all individually dedicated to turning out the finest work in every job. Decades of experience aimed at a perfect product.

We will be happy to discuss all aspects of your wheel & tyre requirements, so please get in touch!

Benefits of Alloy Rims

Turrino alloy wire wheel rims are typically 3-5kg lighter than steel equivalents.

Acceleration is significantly improved due to the reduced rotational moment of inertia. A 4kg saving on each rim (16kg per car) will have the same effect on acceleration as lightening the car by 80-160kg! The rule of thumb is that each 1kg saved at the rim equates to 5-10kg of static (car) weight. Remember – the moment of inertia is a product of the mass x the square of the radius so the bigger your wire wheel diameter & the wider the rim – the more you gain.

Steering input is more precise, with better turn-in due to significantly reduced gyroscopic effect of a directional change.

Roadholding & Handling benefit from reduced unsprung weight. The spring/damper combination works more effectively to keep the tyres in contact with the road. This is why alloy rims have been used on all top line competition and sports car since the 30’s. We have received dozens of unsolicited reports from owners who have been astonished at the difference our wheels have made to their driving experience of their road cars.

I have to say they really have elevated the car's appearance and you were correct- the handling is much improved.

2012

First Turrino rims made from thick wall alloy tube

This enables us to machine the inner diameter of the rims and to control the rim profile as desired.

2014

Expansion and addition of new large machine shop

7 additional CNC machines enable more efficient production and mean every operation is done in-house.
