Italian alloy wheel manufacturer MAK has expanded its product portfolio with the launch of the Stark, a new flagship alloy wheel designed for the 2025 market. The Stark has been developed primarily for Volkswagen Group vehicles but is also suitable for a wide range of SUVs and other premium vehicles, including electric models such as the Audi e-tron.
This launch coincides with MAK once again receiving the CRIBIS Prime Company award, a recognition that highlights the company’s financial reliability and solid business practices. The certification, issued by CRIBIS — a specialist in business information — is awarded to only 7 per cent of over six million Italian companies.
Described by the company as a "top-of-the-range model," the Stark combines technical performance with a bold design. It is available in diameters ranging from 19 to 23 inches, making it ideal for vehicles with higher horsepower and larger pitch circle diameters (PCD) of up to 130. This sizing flexibility allows the wheel to meet the demands of modern high-performance vehicles.
For drivers seeking a more aggressive look, MAK has also introduced the Deep Concave Version (STARK-D) of the wheel. This option is intended to enhance both aesthetics and performance by delivering a more dynamic stance and improved cornering stability.
The Stark’s lightweight construction is part of MAK's wider approach to wheel design, aimed at enhancing vehicle handling, braking, and fuel efficiency without compromising on styling. It reflects the company's ongoing commitment to Italian engineering and design excellence.
The release of the Stark forms part of MAK’s broader 2025 expansion plan, which will see the company introduce seven new alloy wheel models, catering to a variety of vehicle categories and customer preferences.
This strategic move underlines MAK’s focus on developing wheel solutions that meet the evolving demands of both internal combustion and electric vehicle markets.
