RE-DESIGNED HUNTLEY WHEELS! BIG PICS!!
We have re-designed the Huntley Racing wheels to further lighten the design and maintain high strength. What do you think? These wheels run $2000+ a set in 17" or 18" and start at only 13# per wheel!! Here are a few pics:

Hi Derrek,
I love the design of those wheels! I have a 1990 C4 and currently looking for a set of lightweight wheels. Do you have a set with correct offset for a 1990 C4?
Do you the actual weight measurements of a 17x8" and 17x9"? What material and process is used and are the wheels strong enough for daily street usage? Besides chrome finish, do you have other options fo finishes?

The finish on the car was a full polish. We can do then in a clear anodize to mute the shine a bit and add some protection for easy clean up. The wheels are all custom built to order so any ofsett within reason is possible and we make 17" and 18" rims from 7" wide to 14" wide in 1/2" increments. Here is a pic of the old style anodized:

the 17/8 is about 15# and the 17/9 is 16#. Here is a write up from our website on the specs of the wheels:
The Huntley Racing wheels are made for uncompromising performance in the most demanding environments. We start with a forged center designed with the following elements: Strength (ten spokes for better load distribution and forged construction), Lightweight (best weight to strength wheel on the market, often half the weight of the competition!), Air Flow (open spoke design allows for tremendous airflow to the brakes and suspension), Pit Handling (easy hand hold design for the pit crew to grab onto), Price (has to be affordable for the club racer), Serviceable (just in case, we can replace rim sections cheaply!), Style (function does lead to a pretty form!). All DOT testing has been done to assure quality! Standard finish is fully polished centers and outers, which minimizes crack propagation and hardens the surface of the wheel. We can clear anodize or anodize in colors. Powder coating is also available.
