The Wilwood Starlite 55-XD front hub is engineered to deliver exceptional strength and versatility for high-performance racing applications. Weighing just over 7 pounds, this hub features a highly efficient redesign of the popular Starlight 55 wide 5 hub, optimizing both durability and weight savings for competitive motorsports. The bolt-on rotor mount plate enhances overall strength by shifting brake torque loads away from the main hub body, transferring stress to a thicker, more robust section near the inner wheel bearing, which significantly reduces stress deflection and prolongs component life. This design improvement ensures the hub maintains structural integrity during demanding racing conditions while minimizing unnecessary weight that could impact vehicle agility and speed. Constructed with precision and quality, the Wilwood Starlite 55-XD is suitable for a variety of racing setups, providing reliable performance and ease of installation for professional racers and enthusiasts alike. Whether you're upgrading your existing setup or building a new racecar, this hub offers a perfect balance of strength, weight efficiency, and compatibility with standard 5/8 inch C studs. Its compatibility with Snap-Cap rotors further simplifies maintenance and rotor swaps, making it a versatile choice for track day and competitive racing environments. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of motorsports, the Wilwood Starlite 55-XD hub ensures your vehicle remains responsive and reliable under intense conditions, helping you achieve optimal performance on race day.
