Performance Machine 18x5.5 Forged Wheel Assault 11 Spoke Race Weight - Black Ano

This is the Performance Machine 18x5.5 Assault forged wheel, finished in Black Ano. It's built for riders who want to shave weight and improve their motorcycle's handling. This wheel is designed to reduce rotational inertia and unsprung weight, which can make a notable difference in how your bike accelerates, brakes, and corners. It fits a wide range of Harley-Davidson touring models, including popular bikes like the Road King, Street Glide, and Road Glide.

The Assault wheel starts as a solid piece of forged aluminum, which is significantly stronger and lighter than cast aluminum. Performance Machine then machines it to create an 11-spoke design. The rim lip is back-cut to remove even more material from the outer edges, further decreasing rotational inertia. This means less effort is needed to get the wheel spinning and to slow it down, contributing to a more agile feel. The wheel also incorporates Raceline Series hubs, which have had all excess material machined away for maximum weight reduction. Each wheel is tested in-house to ensure it meets stringent standards, and they are made in the USA.

When you're looking to upgrade your ride with a wheel that offers both aggressive styling and a tangible performance benefit, this Performance Machine Assault wheel is a solid option. It's a significant upgrade over stock wheels, especially for those focused on improving handling and reducing unsprung weight. Consider what else might be needed for installation on your specific model, such as valve stems or tire mounting.
