17x7.0 D5 Drag Wheel 5x4.5 BC 4.25 BS

The Forgestar D5 Drag Wheel 17x7.0 with 5x4.5 bolt circle pattern delivers the precision fitment and lightweight construction that serious performance enthusiasts demand. At 18 pounds per wheel, this aluminum forged design reduces unsprung mass while maintaining the structural rigidity required for high-speed stability and responsive handling. The 4.25-inch backspace accommodates a wide range of vehicle platforms, from classic muscle cars to modern performance builds, without requiring frame modifications or extended spacers.

The 17x7.0 sizing strikes a balance between sidewall compliance and minimal rotational inertia—critical for both drag launch performance and street-duty durability. Forgestar's black powder coat finish with machined accents provides corrosion resistance across varied climates while maintaining the aggressive aesthetic that defines purpose-built drag setups. The 5x4.5 bolt pattern ensures compatibility with a broad spectrum of vehicles, from first-generation to contemporary platforms. This single wheel is sold individually, allowing builders to source their complete set with precision.

Purpose-built for straight-line performance and dedicated track duty, the D5 Drag Wheel serves bracket racers, drag strip competitors, and dedicated enthusiasts who prioritize acceleration and launch integrity. The lightweight aluminum construction reduces rotational mass, which directly improves acceleration off the line and decreases suspension load during hard launches. Builders running either conventional or modern traction-control vehicles benefit from the wheel's predictable deflection characteristics under extreme lateral and longitudinal load.

Within the drag racing and performance-build community, 17-inch wheels remain the standard for purpose-built competition vehicles. The D5 series from Forgestar combines OEM-level engineering with competitive pricing, making it the choice for budget-conscious racers who refuse to compromise on structural integrity or fitment accuracy.
