Santa Fe Springs, CA – (September 2012) One of the most underappreciated components of a well-balanced performance suspension is a good set of wheels. To properly enhance the performance of a vehicle, wheels should be light, strong, and provide a wider track. But thanks to near-endless variations of diameters, widths, bolt-patterns, and offsets, even the biggest gearhead can become frustrated when trying to choose the right wheel. Thankfully, Hotchkis Performance has helped make this choice easier with its new line of wheels for late-model GM, Chrysler, and Ford muscle cars.
These new Hotchkis Performance Wheels are available in three different styles: H-Sport, S-Sport, and Y-Sport. The H-Sport wheel is a multi-spoke design that is available in Gloss Silver or Matte Black. The S-Sport wheel features a double 5-spoke design, is available in a Gloss Silver or Matte Black finish, and has machine polished accents. Featuring a classic Y-spoke design, the Y-Sport wheel is available in a solid Matte Graphite finish or with a Machine Polished Face and Matte Graphite Accents.
Hotchkis Performance Wheels are, on average, 2-4 pounds lighter than factory. Though it doesn’t seem like much, this reduction in unsprung weight goes a long way improving the performance of a car – enhancing not only handling, but also braking and acceleration. Hotchkis Performance Wheels also run a smaller offset than stock. This moves the location of the wheel further out and gives the car a wider track for more stability as well as a more appealing stance.
Whether you drive a Camaro, Mustang, or Chrysler LX/LC/LD vehicle, there is a fitment designed specifically to meet your needs. Each particular application was evaluated to determine the specific offset, hub diameter, and bolt-pattern required for the best performance and looks. Designed as a direct replacement, they are capable of supporting factory 20-inch tire sizes as well as plus-sized fitments and are also designed to clear factory and aftermarket big brake kits.
All Hotchkis Performance Wheels are available in twenty-inch diameters. The H-Sport and S-Sport wheels are 8.5-inches wide for the front and 9.5-inches wide for the rear. The Y-Sport Wheels are nine-inches wide in the front and ten-inches wide in the rear. Prices for all three styles are $360 per wheel for front fitments and $400 per wheel for rear fitments. The new Hotchkis Performance Wheels also won the Best New Wheel Product award at the 2012 SEMA Show.
