Much like his competition wheels, the Champion wheel was developed to be light weight for maximum performance while maintaining the structural rigidity needed for performance driving on the streets. The Champion wheel is available in 18″ sizes covering widths from 8″ – 10″ and offsets in the +15 to +40 range.
