The wheels
Monte Carlo M
Developed for the Nordschleife
The Monte Carlo motorsport wheel in the M variant was developed specifically for the punishing conditions of the Nürburgring Endurance Series. A lightweight construction was achieved while maintaining high strength. For maximum performance the wheel was aerodynamically optimised: in the design, the spoke shape was laid out taking into account ventilation drag, which influences the number and contour of the spokes.
To allow crews to change wheels quickly at pit stops, the bolt pattern is double-drilled. The wheel is manufactured by flow forming, which, in addition to high strength and low weight, also brings the advantage of reduced production costs. This keeps motorsport affordable for private teams too.
Season 2020: two Mainhattan-Wheels BMW 330i G20
The new Monte Carlo M motorsport wheel made its debut at the test and set-up sessions for the 2020 season of the Nürburgring Endurance Series.
Development with Adrenalin Motorsport
The wheel was developed in close coordination with Adrenalin Motorsport to enable maximum performance from the two G20s run by the team. Alongside strength and low weight, the focus was on aerodynamics.
Three racing teams on the Monte Carlo M
The wheel, developed specifically for the new BMW 330i G20 on the Nordschleife, was used by three racing teams in the 2020 season.
VT2 champion 2020
With the new G20, Adrenalin Motorsport became VT2 champion 2020 at the first attempt, on the Mainhattan-Wheels Monte Carlo M. The road version followed as the Monte Carlo F.

PIXUM Team Adrenalin Motorsport: best BMW team
The PIXUM Team Adrenalin Motorsport, in cooperation with Mainhattan-Wheels, was once again able to celebrate a strong team result at the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring in 2019. The reigning VLN champion team secured victory in the BMW M240i Racing Cup and in the fiercely contested production car class V4 at the toughest endurance race in the world. The result was rounded off with third place in class V5.
The gaps to the competitors were always within one to two minutes. This was recognised with the rare "What a Win" award from BMW Motorsport. For the third time in a row the team entered nine cars.

It was once again an incredibly tough weekend for our entire crew. The 24-hour race regularly demands everything from every single team member, especially as we took on the mammoth task with nine cars for the third time in a row. Even though this time we unfortunately could not bring all the cars home after 24 hours, our haul is more than respectable.
From the race to the road
From motorsport to the road
The success of the Monte Carlo M prompted us to develop a road version with the same motorsport genes. The Monte Carlo F is manufactured from a forged aluminium blank, produced as a small series in the size 8.5×19 inch ET45 and weighs 8.4 kg. In keeping with the motorsport wheel, it has a 10-hole hub mounting.
Note: the road wheels we sell are developed, manufactured and tested exclusively for use on public roads in accordance with the StVZO. Use in sporting applications, on race circuits or with sports tyres is at the user's own risk. The Monte Carlo M is intended for racing.
