In a continuing effort to support the 250 and 600 classes in the northwest, and being disappointed with the durability of the aluminum wheels on the market, Turner Racing as joined HiPer Wheels as the Northwest Dealer for Carbon Fiber Micro Sprint Wheels and Quick Change splined front hubs (use one wrench for all 4 corners!).
Highlights from HiPer's website: www.hiperwheels.com
Light weight: HiPer Racing Wheels are typically much lighter than .160 aluminum wheels and about the same weight as .125 thick aluminum wheels. HiPer Racing Wheels are significantly stronger than any aluminum wheel presently on the market. In addition, the weight distribution of our wheels results in low rotating inertia. This means you accelerate faster while the overall lighter weight means your suspension can be more responsive because the un-sprung weight is less.
Strength: The wheels are a modular design with the tubs manufactured from DuPont patented Zytel CDV805 a glass reinforced, heat stabilized conductive polyamide resin modified with aerospace grade carbon fiber for improved performance. This carbon fiber material is not affected by UV…will not delaminate, and is very chemical resistant This material, when properly applied and molded is lighter and stronger than aluminum. HiPer Racing Wheels are 3 to 5 times stronger than the competitively priced top of the line aluminum wheels.
Energy absorbing design: The HiPer Racing Wheels are stronger yet more forgiving than aluminum wheels. When subjected to impact forces the HiPer Racing Wheels distort, absorbing the energy, then spring back. You keep going. Aluminum wheel under similar conditions flatten or crumple and are destroyed, ending your race and denting your pocket book. With HiPer Racing Wheels you keep right on racing.
Best materials used everywhere: The center section is made from MA14 Magnesium –manufactured with a single hit forging process. The resulting part has 4700 PSI strength, 50% stronger than 6061 aluminum and 250% stronger than cast magnesium hubs
Standard Sizes Available: (wheel halves will also be available) Front: 6.5, 7.5, 8 Left Rear: 7.5, 8, 9, 10 RR: 10,12, 13, 14, 15
Prices will be inline with current aluminum wheels. See us at the track for more info.
Look for more exciting announcements from Turner Racing in the very near future.
