Weld Alumastar 2.0 17X4.5 / 5x4.75 BP / 2.25in. BS Black Wheel - Non-Beadlock

This is the Weld Alumastar 2.0 wheel, a 17x4.5 inch non-beadlock wheel in a black finish, designed for applications with a 5x4.75 bolt pattern and a 2.25 inch backspacing. Weld is well-known for their forged racing wheels, and the Alumastar line is a popular choice for serious drag racers looking for a strong, lightweight wheel that can handle the demands of competition.

The Alumastar 2.0 is constructed from forged aluminum, a process that creates a very strong and lightweight wheel. This is crucial for drag racing, as reducing unsprung weight can help improve acceleration and overall performance. The 17-inch diameter and 4.5-inch width are common sizes for front drag tires, and the 2.25-inch backspacing helps ensure proper clearance with suspension and brake components on many popular drag chassis. The non-beadlock design keeps things simpler and lighter, which is often preferred for front runners where beadlock functionality isn't necessary.

When you're building a drag car, every component matters, and the wheels are a critical part of the equation. The Alumastar 2.0 offers a solid option for racers who want a proven, well-built wheel from a reputable manufacturer. It's designed to be a direct fit for vehicles with the specified bolt pattern and backspacing, making installation straightforward. Remember to confirm tire fitment and clearance for your specific vehicle setup before ordering.
