Wheel Power
American Wire Wheel & BST 5-spokes
12/01/2003

Sparkling Spokes
Get maximum bling for your buck with a pair of 100 spoke radial-laced wheels from American Wire Wheel, producer of high-quality wire wheels in Dayton, Ohio, for more than 87 years. The high-voltage new hoops feature OEM-spec chrome-plated steel rims, billet aluminum hubs, and polished stainless steel spokes. They’re available in a variety of sizes to fit most 1984 and newer Harley-Davidsons and custom American V-twins, including 21 by 3 inch to accommodate the brawny new Metzeler ME880 120/70 V21 front tire.

Price: between $975 and $1,500

Rolling Blackout
Aside from their stealthy, high-tech look, BST 5-spoke carbon composite wheels boast that they are up to 30 percent lighter than most racing wheels and far lighter than standard production wheels. Available in both street and race-only applications, they offer an unsprung weight advantage that enhances acceleration, cornering, and braking for improved performance on the road, faster lap times and quicker quarter-miles. Using aerospace-grade materials and processes, they feature a unique one-piece construction that eliminates bonding. Both stronger and lighter than aluminum or magnesium, carbon fiber is also a damage-resistant and corrosion-free material. (Click image to enlarge)

Price: starts at $3,350 per set.
