Belak 18x12 / 8.75in BS / 5x114.3 BP / High Pad / Series 3 Wheel - Non-Beadlock

This is the Belak Series 3 18x12 wheel, a non-beadlock option designed for custom builds. It features a 5x114.3 bolt pattern and 8.75 inches of backspacing, with a high pad design that offers clearance for larger brake systems. This wheel is constructed from forged aluminum, a material chosen for its strength and lighter weight compared to cast alternatives, making it a solid choice for performance applications where reducing unsprung mass is important.

The forging process involves shaping aluminum under extreme pressure, which aligns the metal's grain structure for improved durability and impact resistance. This makes the Series 3 wheel well-suited for the rigors of performance driving. The non-beadlock design keeps the wheel assembly simpler and often lighter than its beadlock counterpart, while still providing a secure fit for the tire. The high pad design is a notable feature, specifically engineered to accommodate larger brake calipers and rotors, which is crucial for vehicles with upgraded braking systems.

When considering a wheel of this size and specification, it's important to verify fitment with your specific vehicle's suspension and bodywork, especially if you plan on aggressive tire sizes or lowered suspension. This wheel is sold individually, so be sure to order the correct quantity for your vehicle. For installation, ensure you have the appropriate lug nuts and a torque wrench to tighten them to the manufacturer's specifications.
