The Wilwood Starlite 55 Wide 5 Front Hub in black is a high-performance, lightweight hub designed for racing and aggressive driving applications. Constructed from permanent mold high-density aircraft aluminum, it offers the durability and strength of traditional Starlite hubs while significantly reducing weight. The drilled design enhances heat dissipation and reduces overall mass, contributing to improved handling and braking performance. Featuring 5 bolt drive flanges and snap-cap front hubs, this assembly provides a robust yet lightweight solution for demanding automotive environments. Its advanced construction ensures high strength-to-weight ratio, making it ideal for track use, competition, or high-performance street driving.
Designed to fit a wide range of vehicles with 5-lug bolt patterns, the Wilwood Starlite 55 hubs are suitable for applications requiring superior strength and reduced unsprung weight. These hubs are compatible with various chassis and suspension setups, especially where weight savings and durability are priorities. They serve as direct replacements or upgrades for stock hubs in racing, performance builds, or custom projects. Installation involves standard bolt-on procedures, and the kit includes the hub assembly with drilled features for enhanced cooling. Suitable for use in street, track, or off-road scenarios, these hubs deliver reliable performance under high-stress conditions.

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.
