Rocket Racing Wheels Keeps it Old School Cool

Y’know how they say, “Clothes make the man,” well so can the right wheels and tires for a muscle car and hot rod. How many times have you seen a goofy set of rims on a muscle car and thought, “Wow, that Nova could have been cool if it just had some better wheels.”? More often than not, the right wheels for your muscle car aren’t too off from what it came with. Factory-style Ralleys and Magnum 500s are hard to beat on the right car, and so are those iconic looks from the aftermarket of decades past. Can you think of any wheel better suited for a gasser than those multi-spoked skinnies? Or a ’67 Mustang with those gray-centered, polished ringed five-spoked rims? Neither can we orĀ Rocket Racing Wheels.

Getting the look dead-nuts perfect for hot rods and gassers alike, Rocket’s newest wheel is appropriately titled the “Rocket Launcher.” Available in either polished or gray/machined, the Rocket Launcher is what Rocket calls a “purpose-built” single-piece cast A356 aluminum front runner for hot rods and vintage drag cars. Hearkening to years gone by, the ‘Launcher is truly old school and a direct-bolt application.

Next to wow us is Rocket’s “Rocket Fuel.” If you can’t picture Steve McQueen’s green fastback ‘Stang outrunning the baddies in their all-black ’68 Charger on a set of these, you don’t know your history. The Rocket Fuels also come in polished, bare aluminum or machined gray, and are precision-crafted from A356 aluminum and are capped with a vintage aluminum o-ring center cap.
