Wheel Hubs

Starlite 55-XD hubs elevate performance and versatility for racing applications that require uncompromised strength without excessive additional weight. At just over 7 pounds, the 55-XD achieves it superior strength and modest weight through a highly efficient redesign of racing's most popular wide 5 hub, the Starlight 55. The 55-XD employs a bolt-on rotor mount plate that adds overall strength by eliminating the brake torque loading from the main hub body, by taking the stress loads of the braking torque out of the hub body and moving it to the thicker, stronger section of the hub near the inner wheel bearing, provides a measurable decrease in stress deflection in the body.

Pare down the weight and keep the strength with Wilwood Starlite 55 Wide 5 racing hubs. Starlite 55 hubs have been reconfigured to eliminate unnecessary weight and components to meet or beat 8-bolt magnesium assemblies. With less weight, Wilwood Wide 5 racing hubs' high-density aircraft aluminum construction provides superior strength. Front hubs further reduce weight by eliminating bolt bosses and using a fiber-reinforced composite snap-cap dust cover. Optional drilled studs lighten your weight even more. Several options are offered to fit your application: bare or black E-coat finishes; coarse or coarse drilled studs; and standard, GM, and dynamic mount offsets. In racing, you need the beef, but not the weight. Wilwood Starlite 55 Wide 5 racing hubs offer muscle without the mass.
