Overview of Halibrand Sprint Wheels
Halibrand Sprint wheels feature a distinctive multi-slotted design reminiscent of wheels used on race cars and hot rods in the 1940s-60s era. They are engineered for optimal strength while remaining extremely lightweight.
Brief History
Halibrand began manufacturing their signature kidney bean-style Sprint wheels in the late 1950s. They quickly became universally popular on dirt oval sprint cars and midget racers, setting the standard for high-performance auto racing wheels.
###Intended Applications
While engineered for racing, Halibrand Sprint wheels also work excellently on street rods and vintage muscle cars seeking a competition-inspired look. Their balance of vintage style and performance is unmatched.
Types of Halibrand Sprint Wheels
Halibrand offers several variations of the Sprint wheel:
- Magnesium – The exotic metal provides superior strength-to-weight but requires some maintenance. Ideal for historic race car builds.
- Aluminum – Made using a proprietary aircraft-grade aluminum alloy for increased durability and corrosion resistance over magnesium.
- Anodized – The anodized coating on some Sprint wheels enhances corrosion and scratch resistance while adding bold colors.
- Coated – Many Sprint wheels receive a clear coat finish to maintain the metal’s appearance. Gloss powder coatings also available.
Key Features and Benefits
Key benefits of Halibrand Sprint wheels:
- Iconic vintage race design – Unique styling inspired by classic hot rod and race car wheels of the past.
- Extremely lightweight – Reduced rotational mass improves acceleration and braking.
- Increased rigidity – Forged construction creates an exceptionally rigid wheel for responsive handling.
- Enhanced brake cooling – Slotted design allows heated air to escape the brakes.
- Custom sizing – Available in a huge range of widths and diameters to perfectly fit your vehicle.
Sprint Wheel Fitment Considerations
Choosing the optimal Halibrand Sprint wheel size for your vehicle involves several key fitment factors:
- Diameter – Sprint wheels range from 13” to 18”. Consider tire selection and fender clearance when sizing.
- Width – As narrow as 6” or as wide as 10” or 12” for a more aggressive stance.
- Bolt pattern – Must match your vehicle’s 4, 5, or 6-lug stud pattern.
- Center bore – Needs to properly fit over the hub or require an adapter sleeve.
- Backspacing/offset – Influences handling and brake clearance. Must be properly set for your vehicle.
