Product Details

The 7.6 inches of backspacing on this Race Star 92 Drag Star wheel is a key detail for drag racing setups. This measurement helps position the tire correctly within the wheel well, crucial for maintaining proper clearance and stability during launches and high-speed runs. Designed for serious drag racers, this 17x10.5 wheel features a single bead lock on the lip, which secures the tire bead firmly to the rim. This prevents tire spin under extreme torque, a common issue when putting down serious power, ensuring that all that horsepower translates directly to the track.

Constructed from cast aluminum, this wheel is built to withstand the rigors of drag strip competition while keeping unsprung weight to a minimum. The gloss black finish not only looks sharp but also offers a durable surface. The 5x4.50 bolt pattern is a common fitment for many performance vehicles, making it a versatile choice for builders looking to optimize their drag setup. This wheel is sold individually, allowing you to purchase exactly what you need for your specific build, whether it's a pair or a full set.

When setting up your drag car, remember that bead lock wheels require specific tire mounting procedures to ensure the bead lock functions correctly. Always consult with a professional tire installer or refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for proper installation to maximize performance and safety.
