Muscle Car Wheels & Rims

There’s no consensus opinion on which model was the first muscle car. The category originated when auto makers began installing large V8 engines, which had previously only been fitted to full-size cars, into smaller 2-door, mid-size, rear-wheel drive cars in place of their standard small V8 or 6-cylinder engines. The resulting horsepower-to-weight ratio created fast cars with quick acceleration that were great fun to drive. With models like the Pontiac GTO, Plymouth Road Runner, and Chevy Chevelle SS396, the 1960s were considered the “golden age” of the muscle car. However, with the current Chevy Camaro SS, Ford Mustang GT, and Dodge Challenger we’re now in the midst of a muscle car renaissance. No matter whether you go for modern muscle or you’re strictly old school, if you’re looking for custom wheels we have what you need.

Our extensive selection of muscle car wheels covers both the classic and the modern muscle car eras. Here you’ll find all the styles that were popular back in the day - the different factory rally wheel variations, and all the familiar aftermarket spoke and slotted wheel patterns, in traditional finishes including chrome, polished and painted. They come in all the right widths, offsets, and 14” and 15” rim diameters that enable fitment to the original muscle cars using original size tires. When you have access to these authentic, original style rims at such affordable prices, there’s no need to waste your time scouring swap meets and responding to classified ads searching in vain for good used originals. Plus, when you shop with us you get wheels that are made using the most modern materials and manufacturing techniques, so you can be assured of great looks, reliability, and outstanding performance.

For modern muscle machines we have wheels in all the original equipment sizes including 17”, 18” and 20” diameters, in styles and with finishes to suit every enthusiast. If nothing less than the latest, cutting-edge wheels will do then look no further. We offer state-of-the-art wheel styles created by the designers at the top brands, in a large assortment of spoke shapes and patterns, wheel face and lip configurations, and degrees of concavity, in a selection of finish treatments. Choose from chrome, polished or brushed, the ever popular black and many other colors. Many wheels have special effects including complementary and contrasting color accents, machined spoke faces and milled accents, spinners, simulated bolts, and much more. Or choose custom painted wheels for a truly exclusive appearance.

If you’re a contemporary muscle car owner, but with a taste for the classic styles, we can still satisfy your custom wheels desires. Many of the most popular aftermarket wheel styles that were first seen on the muscle cars of yesteryear, and even some of the original equipment rally wheel styles, are available in widths, offsets, and diameters that will allow them to bolt right on to today’s muscle machines, and we offer many exciting wheel designs and finishes that are inspired by the rims of the past. What better way to give your ride a unique look than to combine vintage style wheels with the latest sleek sheet metal. However, with a selection of wheel diameters from 13” to 34”, we can accommodate you no matter what you want to do with your modern muscle car. Whether it’s plus-sizing and just going up an inch or so in diameter, or you’re modifying your suspension or bodywork, or both, and need a different combination of width, backspacing, offset, and diameter, we have the wheels for the job.

Upsizing diameter and running low-profile rubber can also be a good idea on classic muscle cars. Those cars were known for their straight line, drag racing prowess, but they were challenged in the handling department. That’s why restomods are currently so popular – they combine the cherished bodylines of a classic muscle car with modern underpinnings for superior performance. But even if your older muscle car is relatively stock underneath, you can still benefit from taller size wheels and low-profile tires. Their shorter sidewalls are stiffer and don’t flex as much, so you may experience more responsive steering. And the selection of high performance tires, with their superior construction and tread design, and stickier rubber compound, is much greater for 17” and larger diameters. Whether you roll modern or classic, if you’re not sure what size wheels will fit your muscle car, our wheel and tire experts are just a phone call away.

Going to a larger size rim isn’t the only way you can have cool classic or contemporary looks and at the same time upgrade your muscle car. While many of our muscle car wheels are of steel or cast aluminum alloy construction, we also offer many timeless classic wheel replicas, classic inspired designs, and modern styles in forged aluminum. The forging process starts with a solid chunk of premium aluminum billet, which is heated and forced into shape using extreme pressure, and then finish machined to its final form. Forging compresses the metal so it is very dense, resulting in a wheel that is exceptionally stiff and strong, but also very light. Lightweight wheels mean less unsprung weight and rotational mass. The suspension doesn’t have to work as hard, and you can experience more responsive steering, faster braking and quicker acceleration.
