Default Front rim cracked .What rims do you run ?

One piece Monocoque rim cracked just like the bolt together ones wright in the area where the bolt circle would have been if it was a bolt together rim . I've ran for years got my money worth . Just another way the lose a race . Glad it held enough air in the shut down . What rims do you all run ? And did anybody else see cracking issues with mono"s or other companys . My car is camaro 396/325 combo , so its not a killer wheel stander .

Post Re: Front rim cracked .What rims do you run ?

I've been running Holeshot Wheels for many, many years. Their standard versions are 3-piece bolt together wheels but they also have billet, one piece for the fronts only. Very good combination of weight and strength. "IF" you should ever need repairs or change (i.e.: bent/damaged, offset, bolt pattern, etc.) they can easily do that instead of buying the whole wheel. Wide variety of styles to choose from and they can do custom mods for appearance and fitment.


They have several dealers around the country that my provide a better deal than buying direct.

Love my Holeshots! I believe Weld does continue to pay contengicy but have also heard people complain about getting paid.

I replaced my cracked monocoques with Billet Specialties Street Lites, mine were bolt together and the street lites are about 1/2 lb each lighter, and they won't break the bank.
