MOMO Raptor Wheels



What Makes the Momo Raptor Special?

Momo is a company known for its wheels. Their steering wheels for that matter. They have been producing spectacularly beautiful steering wheels, shift knobs, and shift boots since 1964. The first Momo steering wheel was used by a racer, Gianpiero Moretti, who does not like his car’s steering wheel – it was too flimsy. So he made one just for himself.

Drivers from the other teams quickly noticed Moretti’s new steering wheel and they wanted the same for their cars. The new Momo steering wheel also caught the attention of the then Ferrari Formula One driver, John Surtees, who wanted to mount it on his single-seat racecar. John Surtees’ Ferrari won the Formula One world title in 1964. And so, Gianpiero Moretti converted his passion into a manufacturing reality, and Momo was born. Even the name is borne out of racing. Momo simply means Moretti Monza, one of the most famous racetracks in the world.

Then in 1970, Momo started to sell racing alloy wheels. Ferrari was one of the first companies to use Momo as the supplier of both their cars’ steering wheels and wheels. The Momo Raptor is a successor to all those light wheels produced by Momo. The Momo Raptor looks every bit as stunning as its namesake. Raptor means bird of prey which includes eagles, falcons, and hawks. These birds are stunning in that they can fly high and fast. The same can be said the one-piece alloy Momo Raptor. It has the durability to take a lot of abuse from spirited driving and track use.

Why Go with Aftermarket Alloy Wheels?

  • An aftermarket wheel has been engineered to be lightweight, which is why these see the primary use in motorsports
  • A lighter wheel reduces un-sprung weight, resulting in faster acceleration and significantly improved handling
  • A bigger wheel allows space for much larger brake rotors and calipers—usually a must when a car is built to race

The Momo Raptor is available in 17x7.5 and 18x8.0 sizes. It is available in Matte Anthracite and Hypersilver finishes. The Raptor will look good on sport coupes, sport sedans, and cute hatchbacks like the Mini Cooper.
