Wheels

Looking to get some opinions on the safety and use of Dual Lug Pattern wheels in ITB racing? :rolleyes:

What would be the problem with using them?

i was just thinking that with the added holes it would'nt be as strong, the mounting area

you'll find that most single pattern 4x bolt patterns pocket the area between the bolt holes on the backside, so there's actually a bit more material in a dual pattern 4x wheel than in a single in some cases. either way, a good wheel from a good manufacturer shouldn't be a worry.

what wheel, out of curiousity? 15x6 wheels to fit 4x100 FWD cars are available now and really are the way to go - access to more, cheaper tires and no gearing changes. (click the link in my sig if you are interested).

Dual patterns work just fine, Manny.
