Halibrand wheels have been an icon in the hot rodding and racing world since the 1940s. With their blend of classic styling and performance engineering, Halibrand wheels can be the perfect choice for your street rod, muscle car, or race car build. This comprehensive guide will walk through everything you need to know when shopping for Halibrand wheels.
A Brief History of Halibrand Wheels
Founded in 1946 by Ted Halibrand, the company first made its name manufacturing magnesium racing wheels used extensively in Indy racing. Halibrand later expanded into aluminum alloy wheels and street applications. Their timeless vintage designs live on today as some of the most iconic hot rod wheels.
Types of Halibrand Wheels
Halibrand offers several wheel lines to suit different applications:
- Vintage wheels – Magnesium and aluminum wheels in classic designs from the 40s-60s era. Available in standard and custom sizes.
- Sprint wheels – Lightweight racing wheels designed for drag, asphalt oval, off-road and other motorsports.
- Rod wheels – Aluminum wheels made for street rod and muscle car applications, mimicking vintage styles.
- Street wheels – Contemporary aluminum wheels for classic vehicles with modern styling. Offered in custom sizes.
Wheel Construction and Materials
Halibrand wheels feature either magnesium or aluminum construction:
- Magnesium wheels – The exotic metal provides an ultra lightweight yet strong wheel. More expensive but ideal for racing applications.
- Aluminum wheels – Made from sturdy aircraft-grade aluminum alloy. The most common Halibrand wheel type, offering a more affordable alternative to magnesium.
- Forged wheels – Made through an intensive forging process that enhances the strength significantly over cast wheels. Recommended for rigorous racing usage.
- Coatings – Many Halibrand wheels receive a protective clear coat finish, available in polished, anodized or color coatings.
Wheel Fitment Considerations
Choosing the optimal Halibrand wheel size for your vehicle involves several key fitment factors:
- Diameter – Halibrand wheels come in diameters from 13” to 18”. Consider tire selection and fender clearance when sizing.
- Width – Wider wheels can provide a more aggressive look but may require fender modifications.
- Backspacing – This determines wheel offset from the brakes and affects handling.
- Bolt pattern – Needs to match your vehicle’s stud pattern and lug nut type (5 lugs, 6 lugs, etc).
- Center bore – Must properly fit over the hub or require an adapter ring.
Performance Benefits
Halibrand wheels can provide noticeable performance enhancements:
- Reduced rotational mass – Lightweight magnesium and aluminum wheels lower unsprung weight, improving acceleration, braking and handling.
- Increased rigidity – Forged and vintage Halibrand wheels offer stiffer sidewall construction for responsive cornering.
- Enhanced brake cooling – Certain styles use open spokes to allow better airflow to cool brakes.
- Custom sizing – Dial in the optimal diameter, width and backspacing to achieve your exact performance goals.
Popular Halibrand Wheel Models
Some of the most iconic Halibrand wheel designs include:
- Sprint Car wheels – Five-spoke magnesium wheels made famous in American open-wheel dirt racing. Available in a variety of widths.
- kidney Bean wheels – Vintage lightweight forged aluminum wheels featuring a unique kidney bean-shaped spoke design.
- Oldsmobile Rallye wheels – Created for 1960s Oldsmobile muscle cars. Defined by iconic thin spokes radiating from the center.
