17x10 D5 Drag Wheel 5x4.5 BC 7.5 BS

The Forgestar D5 Drag Wheel 17x10 5x4.5 BC with 7.5 BS is a purpose-built lightweight drag racing wheel engineered for serious competitors and street/strip enthusiasts seeking minimum weight without compromise on strength. Cast aluminum construction with black powder coat and machined accents delivers the aggressive aesthetic demanded in competition environments while maintaining the structural integrity required for high-load drag racing applications. At 19.8 lbs per wheel, this 17-inch diameter design maximizes tire sidewall for superior traction off the line while the 10-inch width provides the optimal contact patch for dedicated drag radials and slicks.

The 7.5-inch backspace and 5x4.5 bolt pattern configuration positions the wheel correctly for vehicles with narrow frames and tight suspension geometry typical of dedicated drag platforms. This offset prevents rubbing while maintaining proper weight distribution for launch consistency. The machined lip combined with the powder-coated center creates visual contrast while the aluminum construction resists corrosion in both garage storage and adverse weather conditions. The D5 designation identifies this as part of Forgestar's drag-specific line, meaning every dimension and weight consideration has been optimized for translation of engine power to the asphalt rather than general-purpose street driving.

Buyers pursuing 1/4-mile consistency or street/strip duty should verify fitment against their specific vehicle's suspension, brake clearance, and tire specifications before purchase. The 5x4.5 bolt pattern fits classic Chevrolet platforms and select import vehicles; confirm compatibility with your application. This wheel is sold individually, so complete sets will require four units. Forgestar D5 wheels for sale appeal to racers who prioritize measurable performance gains through weight reduction and geometric precision over universal versatility.
