Wheels Arrived !

Although there are still a number of items on back order (windshield, side pipes, roll bars, wind wings etc). The long awaited wheels finally arrived today, well worth the wait.

These authentic vintage Halibrand 5 lug nut replica wheels each include a knock-off adapter, spinner, and cosmetic lug cover while maintaining the safety of a modern DOT design.

The wheels are cast aluminum, extremely strong, and lightweight. The centers are painted a beautiful metallic grey and the rims are polished. The entire wheel surface is then clear coated to protect the finish from oxidation.

Technical Specifications:
Front Wheel Size (Diameter x width): 17"x 9"
Rear Wheel Size (Diameter x width): 17"x 10.5"
Front Wheel Backspace: 6.00" (24mm Offset)
Rear Wheel Backspace: 6.7" (27mm
Offset Wheel Lug Pattern: Ford style 5 lug x 4.5" bolt circle
Material: Cast Aluminum
Color: Gun Metal
Weight with adapter, spinner and lug cover
17"x 9": 20.36 lb 17"x 10.5": 22.66 lb

For the first set of tires I intend to run Sumitomo HTR Z 245/45 R17 on the front and 315/35 R17 on the rear.

See video for additional information.
