Race Star Industries — Performance-Driven Wheels for Street & Strip
When it comes to affordable, high-performance wheels engineered for real-world drag and street duty, Race Star Industries is a name that commands respect. Founded with the goal of offering lightweight, durable wheels designed for tough torque environments, Race Star has built a strong reputation in the muscle car, drag, and performance community. Their designs strike a balance between aggressive styling, fitment practicality, and strength, making them a regular choice for both restorations and high-horsepower builds.
At DragRacingWheels.com, we’re proud to support the full Race Star lineup — whether you’re after drag-ready 15" “Drag Star” wheels, bracket and pro-tour styles, truck series, or forged options. We help you choose the right spec, ensure correct brake clearance, and deliver authentic Race Star wheels that perform out of the box.
Race Star Philosophy & Technology
Race Star wheels are known for their direct-fit style, meaning many models come ready to bolt on without needing brake modifications or adapters. For example, Race Star’s DragStar wheels are engineered to work on S-197 Mustangs or LS-platform F-bodies without interfering with calipers.
Though many Race Star wheels use high-quality cast aluminum construction, they are designed with racing in mind — featuring lightening cuts, stress-relieved geometry, and premium finishes (polished, dark star, black, etc.).
Race Star also offers forged / pro line options, such as the 63 Pro Forged series and beadlock-capable models, for customers who demand stronger, lighter wheels for serious racing use.
Core Race Star Wheel Series & Styles
Here are some of the main styles and series in Race Star’s catalog, which you should highlight or map to your available inventory:
-
92 Drag Star — The classic Race Star drag racing wheel. The 92 series is perhaps their best-known line, available in polished, dark chrome, black, and other finishes.
-
Drag Star Direct-Drilled / Bracket Racer — Variants of Drag Star optimized for bracket/race use, with direct-drilled holes, optional finishes, and race-ready specs.
-
63 Pro Forged — A lightweight, higher-end option intended for racing applications.
-
Truck Star / 93 Truck Star — Wheels aimed at the truck / off-road / retro builds segment.
-
32 Mirage / 53 Jr. Dragster / Specialty — Some of the smaller-application or specialty wheels for Jr. dragsters, compact builds, and niche applications.
Every style is tuned for either drag, street, or hybrid use — giving you flexibility to choose what fits your build’s demands.
Performance Benefits & Real-World Attributes
Choosing Race Star wheels offers a number of advantages for performance builds:
-
Ready-to-fit design — Many models are engineered to bolt up without brake interference or modifications.
-
Balanced strength vs weight — Cast options are optimized for durability under street performance, while forged lines push envelope for racing.
-
Wheel geometry tailored for drag / performance use — Deep lips, lightening pockets, and proper offset options make many Race Star wheels ideal for staggered setups, wide rears, and high-horsepower vehicles.
-
Finish quality and cosmetic appeal — Polished, dark-star, black, and other finishes resist corrosion and present well on street or show cars.
-
Wide application coverage — Race Star supports many vintage and modern muscle car platforms (Mustang, Camaro, Mopar, etc.) with multiple bolt patterns, widths, and offsets.
These features make Race Star wheels a compelling option for builds that straddle daily use and performance tuning.
Popular Vehicle Fitments
While Race Star wheels can be applied broadly, they're especially popular in these platforms:
-
Ford Mustang (Fox, SN95, S197, S550, etc.) — Many Drag Star wheels are designed to bolt right up without brake modifications.
-
Chevrolet Camaro / Pontiac F-Body / GM platforms — Direct-fit options exist for LS and LT builds using Race Star Drag Star lines.
-
Classic muscle / restomods — Because Race Star offers vintage-sized and classic bolt patterns, they’re widely used in restomod and retro builds.
-
Track / drag builds — The forged lines (63 Pro Forged) and drag-optimized models are used in high-torque, high-stress applications.
-
Trucks & Specialty Builds — The Truck Star line is used on vintage trucks or custom builds where style and weight optimization both matter.
Race Star’s multiple bolt pattern and offset options let you tailor specs for both stock and modified brake, suspension, and tire setups.
