Rocket Racing Wheels Offers A True Thread-On Vintage Style Knockoff To Fit All NEW Rocket Racing Wheels

If you're looking for that classic "tri-bar" or "spinner" look with a set of knockoffs these new retrofit knock offs for a vintage look with the safety of a traditional five-lug bolt-on wheel. Check out the blog for full details.


From the very early days of vintage motorsports, the competition quickly determined that many races were won and lost by the efficiency of their pit stops. Early adopters of the thread-on, spindle mount knockoff, made for quicker tire changes and pit stops.  The gear heads, hot rod enthusiasts, and weekend warriors from that era began emulating the performance and styling cues from their motorsports heroes. They ripped off the fenders, nixed the windshield, and chopped the top. They tossed the heavy steel wheels and opted for lighter and stronger magnesium or aluminum wheels with spindle-mount knockoffs.

In the decades that followed, vintage knockoffs became a statement of styling and automotive performance in the hot rod culture. Rocket Racing Wheels is proud to offer up a re-designed vintage style knockoff that allows for perfect fitment on our 5-lug & 6-lug applications. The new design offers the same spindle-mount styling, but perfects it with a much safer bolt-on mounting application. The Rocket Vintage Style Knockoff with threaded adapters is sold in pairs, 1 left and 1 right-hand thread for safety. The result? When correctly installed, you have a stylish, safe, knockoff that is in a tightening mode all the way around your ride. Ride a Rocket!
