SEMA 2013: Wheel Pros Releases Host Of New Designs And Sizes

wheel-pros2x

The name Wheel Pros may not be all that familiar to the general public, but you probably know the names of its wheel brands. Among them are icons such as American Racing, a name that any car or truck enthusiast immediately recognizes. The American Racing Torq-Thrust wheel has been a classic for 50 years, seen on rods and customs ever since since the days of drive-in movies.

The Wheels Pros booth at the 2013 SEMA Show featured a miniature movie theater in which attendees could relax for a moment and watch racing videos.

KMC Wheels has been producing cutting-edge design wheels for trucks and SUVs for more than 30 years, and is still producing hot looks for leveled, lifted and stock rides. The XD Series from KMC is for those looking for style and action. These hard-working wheels are designed for heavy duty use, and include specialty dually and beadlock wheels.

Moto Metal is a motocross inspired brand that delivers wheels with wild styling and fitments that are suited for a wide range of vehicles, including extreme lifted trucks. For the truck, SUV or Jeep that is bound for extreme rugged terrain, there is the ATX Series, the first and only wheel brand to offer Teflon coating to assist in shedding mud and dirt, and making clean up easier.

Wheel Pros released a number of new wheels across quite a few of its brands this year, and one of the newest members of the ATX Series is the model AX194 wheel, perfect for the hardcore off-road enthusiast looking to get out into the wild.

The AX194 comes in two finishes; black Teflon with a reinforcement ring, and gray matte with a black reinforcement ring. A five- and six-lug pattern are available. And three sizes and offsets are offered at the time of this report: 17×8.5, with a +10 offset; 17×9, with a -12 offset; and 18×8.5, with a 35 offset according to the manufacturer.
