Wilwood 270-17462C Starlite 55XD Front Hub Wide 5 Direct Mount Aluminum Black

The Wilwood Starlite 55-XD hub delivers exceptional strength and performance for racing applications without the weight penalty of conventional hubs. At just over 7 pounds, this front hub represents a highly efficient redesign of racing's most popular wide 5 hub pattern, achieving superior strength through advanced engineering and material optimization.

Key Features:

• Bolt-on Lug Drive rotor mounting plate eliminates brake torque loading from the main hub body
• Dynamic lug mounting system with wear plates and snap ring reduces temperature-induced deflection
• Isolated rotor mount design accommodates dissimilar thermal expansion rates between iron rotors and aluminum components
• Black e-coat finish seals castings and provides long-lasting corrosion protection
• Wide 5 bolt pattern for direct mount rotor applications
• Accepts standard bearing races for easy serviceability
• Includes rotor mount plate, mounting bolts, and Snap Cap dust covers

The 55-XD's innovative design fully isolates thermal stresses from the hub body, allowing the rotor and mounting plate to expand independently. This engineering approach extends component life while maintaining dimensional stability under extreme racing conditions. Machined from high-grade aluminum alloy and finished with Wilwood's protective e-coat, these hubs deliver professional-grade performance and durability.
