Rocket Racing unveils wheel production method

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — Rocket Performance Machine Inc. has developed a dual-direction, flow-form, semi-forged wheel production method that offers "near infinite flexibility," according to the manufacturer of the Rocket Racing Wheels brand.

The cast center can be moved within a wide range of offsets inside the spun-forged outer rim, providing options that, until now, were available only from expensive multi-piece wheels, the company said.

"This breakthrough technology delivers weight and metal strength characteristics similar to traditional high-dollar forged wheels," Rocket Performance said.

The company said its designers and engineers, along with automotive aftermarket veterans, conducted extensive research in a collaborative effort to develop the most popular pro touring and performance wheel designs.

The Rocket Attack wheels will feature generous caliper clearances for performance brake systems, multiple offsets, premium low-maintenance finishes and ready-to-ship inventory, the company said. In addition, custom options and two center cap selections will be available.

"We're excited to bring this new technology to the market, delivering modern production for pro touring and performance wheels for a lot less money. Our Track & Touring Series will be a true game-changer," said David Coker, president & CEO of Rocket Racing Wheels.
