The Wilwood Starlite 55 Wide 5 Hub with Snap-Cap is a high-performance wheel hub designed for racing and enthusiast applications. Constructed from permanent mold, high-density aircraft aluminum, it offers exceptional strength comparable to magnesium hubs while maintaining a lightweight profile. The Starlite "55" features a redesigned, weight-optimized construction that eliminates unnecessary material, resulting in a hub assembly that balances durability with minimal weight. The inclusion of 5-bolt drive flanges and snap-cap front hubs further reduces overall weight, making these hubs ideal for performance-focused setups. Built by Wilwood, a recognized leader in high-performance automotive components, these hubs deliver reliable strength and precision for demanding use cases.
Designed for a wide range of vehicles with 5-lug bolt patterns, the Wilwood Starlite 55 hubs are suitable for race cars, track days, and high-performance street builds. They are engineered to fit specific applications requiring lightweight, durable hubs with high strength-to-weight ratios. These hubs are intended as direct replacements or upgrades for existing wheel hub assemblies, providing improved performance and reduced unsprung weight. Installation involves standard bolt-on procedures, and the kit includes the hubs with snap-cap front components. Compatibility depends on matching the 5-lug bolt pattern and vehicle specifications, making them suitable for various chassis and wheel configurations in racing or high-performance street environments.

Overview
Overview
Starlite "55" hubs provide the superior strength of permanent mold, high-density aircraft aluminum at weights comparable to the much higher priced magnesium hub assemblies. The Starlite "55" features the strength of our traditional Starlite hub, but redesigned to eliminate unnecessary weight in the hub and its related components. 5 bolt Drive flanges and snap-cap front hubs pare the 'loaded' weight of these hubs to being the lightest available.
