Billet Specialties is one of the most recognizable brands in the realm of muscle cars. With over 600 accessory products and 90 plus wheel styles Billet Specialties has the most diverse product line in the industry and its growing every day. No other billet wheel or accessory manufacturer can make that claim. They have been delivering the most innovative wheels, interior, exterior and engine dress up accessories to enthusiasts since 1985. Every Billet Specialties wheel is aimed at making your muscle car look perfect.

The Vintage Wheels starts as a 6061-T6 rotary forged aluminum center. These proprietary designs are made for strength and weight savings. Available in various styles and depths, the wheels are finished off with a lightweight 6061-T6 barrel with a double rolled edge. Since these wheels are designed for the Hot Rod market, you can imagine that large brakes will come into play, and that aspect has been addressed by Billet Specialties with a recessed bolt pad and sufficient clearance for most aftermarket brake calipers, providing up to 1-3/4 inches of caliper clearance.

Weight, and especially unsprung weight, are huge considerations when it comes to setting up a car. Multi-piece wheels are changing, and Billet Specialties is at the forefront of some of these developments. The two-piece design of the Vintage Series eliminates the extra weight attributed to additional unsprung weight and increased inertia. Billet Specialties made sure the hardware located at the outer edge of the wheel, the moment of inertia is increased. However, the Vintage Series wheel has no hardware, which reduces the moment of inertia. Additionally, while unsprung weight does not affect acceleration or top speed, the reduction of unsprung weight on a Pro-Touring car may reduce lap times due to improved control and suspension performance.

What is Hot Rod?

Hot rods are typically old, classic, or modern American cars that have been rebuilt or modified with large engines modified for more speed and acceleration. One definition is: "a car that's been stripped down, souped up and made to go much faster.

Why Should I Install Aftermarket Wheels?

  • Aftermarket wheels have been engineered to be lightweight, which is why these see the primary use in motorsports
  • A lighter wheel reduces un-sprung weight, resulting in faster acceleration and significantly improved handling
  • A bigger wheel allows space for much larger brake rotors and calipers—usually a must when a car is built to race
  • A larger wheel is more attractive in design compared to boring stock wheels
