FRANKLIN, Tenn. — Carlstar Group L.L.C. will increase prices globally on its styled wheel products by up to 8 percent, effective on or before Feb. 1, 2018.
The company said the price hike will impact all wheel products sold under its Cragar, Black Rock and Unique brands.
The prices of steel wheel components also will be increased similarly.
Carlstar cited significant volatility in the prices of steel and aluminum materials due to supply constraints as the primary reason for the increase.
