Snap-Cap Front Hub Black

The Wilwood Snap-Cap Front Hub Black (MPN 270-6735BD) is a direct-mount aluminum front wheel hub engineered for high-performance brake and suspension applications requiring Wide 5 bolt pattern compatibility. This Starlite 55 hub delivers the precision engineering demanded by custom brake system builds, track-focused vehicles, and vintage hot rod restorations where OEM hubs fall short of performance requirements.

Built from lightweight aluminum with a black paint finish, this hub integrates directly into brake and suspension assemblies without adapter complexity. The Wide 5 mounting pattern remains standard in classic automotive circles and specialty fabrication, providing a proven, reliable interface for dual-wheel or performance brake caliper setups. The snap-cap design simplifies wheel removal and installation while maintaining structural integrity under demanding driving conditions. Weighing 8.85 lbs per unit, the hub's material composition balances strength with minimal unsprung weight—a critical consideration for handling and brake response tuning.

This hub suits builders and enthusiasts developing custom front-end systems for drag racing, road course work, or historically accurate restorations. Mechanics restoring classic trucks or engineering independent front suspension upgrades will find this component essential for systems requiring Wide 5 bolt pattern geometry. The black anodized finish resists corrosion through typical shop environments and on-track exposure. Direct mounting eliminates the risk of adapter creep or bolt-hole misalignment inherent in retrofit setups, ensuring consistent brake performance lap after lap or mile after mile.

Wilwood's Starlite 55 hub line occupies a respected position in the aftermarket brake market, known for engineering precision and compatibility with professional-grade disc brake systems. This front hub ships as a single unit, allowing builders to source matching rear hubs separately or pair it with existing brake assemblies.
