Going Big: Race Star Wheels Offers New Late Model Musclecar Wheels

2016-10-26_12-05-15

Modern performance cars are drastically different from the classic musclecars they are descendants of. From the factory, these new-age pony cars have a better ride, make more power, and stop better than anything from the musclecar era. The problem is that getting certain parts, like wheels, to fit these new cars for drag racing applications can be tricky. Race Star Wheels has a solution for modern musclecars with several different wheels that fit most new performance cars.

One of the biggest hurdles to putting a set of drag racing oriented wheels on a newer performance car are the brakes. Due to their size, it’s difficult to find wheels that will clear those bigger binders, but according to Carl Robinson from Race Star Wheels they have the solution.  “The new 95 Recluse is an advanced design one-piece wheel that’s made for late model musclecars like the Dodge Hellcat, C-7 Corvette, Mustang, F-body, and more. The wheel is offered in sizes from 15×10 to 20×11 in the rear  and 17×4.5 to 18×5 for the front. These wheels are designed to be a proper fit, and engineered to clear the monster OEM brakes found on these cars.”

Race Star Wheels also has a wheel for those who are really trying to put the power down, the 92 Drag Star Double Beadlock. This wheel is available in a wide range of bolt circles and backspaces, to give every racer the option to have a bead lock style wheel. “Many late model musclecar owners have spun their drag radials on regular rims, and the 92 Drag Star’s bead lock design addresses that. These wheels utilize a one-piece cast construction, and are SFI Certified to the 15-1 specification for rear-drive wheels,” Robinson says.
