Vahlcos 13″ Midget Aluminum Racing wheels

are unparalleled strength in the racing industry.

Vahlco’s 13″ Midget Wheels represent a pinnacle of racing wheel technology, specifically designed to meet the rigorous demands of high-speed racing. These wheels are heat-treated to achieve peak performance and balance, ensuring a superior racing experience.

The use of CNC spun 6061 Aluminum in their construction offers an excellent power-to-weight ratio, which is crucial for optimal cornering ability. Additionally, their innovative beadlock system, featuring a 100% CNC billet 3-tab design with Bead-Grip Technology, ensures that the tire remains securely attached to the wheel, even under extreme racing conditions.

This system is complemented by the exclusive “Flip Lip” rolled rim profile, touted as the strongest in the racing industry, and precision-forged 6061-T6 Aluminum Centers that are 100% CNC machined for perfect balance. The wheels also boast a show-quality polish, with options for black anodized finishes, adding both aesthetic appeal and durability.

This combination of advanced materials, meticulous design, and superior construction techniques makes the Vahlco 13″ Midget Wheels an essential choice for racers seeking reliability, performance, and longevity on the track.

We offer direct mount front wheel shells (sometimes called front shells, front rims, or “860” shells) without center hubs, direct mount front hubs, and rear spline wheels. We now offer wheels with 6-pin centers for pavement midget applications. Direct mount front hub details: Vahlco 13” direct mount hubs are 5-spoke design with 5 mounting studs for the wheel shells. Since our 13” rim shells come with the industry standard 15 bolt pattern, we chose to use the stronger 5-spoke configuration for 13” Wheels.. All front hubs are machined to accept tapered roller bearings, have threaded and O-ringed dust caps with a threaded fill port on the side for customers who want to run oil or gear lube instead of bearing grease.

All mounting hardware is domestically sourced grade 8 steel fasteners. Bearings, races and seals are included in the price of each hub. Hubs are priced individually, price x2 for full hub set. All hubs come with our proprietary “cam drive” rotor mount system to accept standard 3-lug brake rotors for LF dirt applications (adapter sold separately).

Direct mount front wheel shell details:  Vahlco 13” dia. direct mount front shells are made on even size width increments (7”, 8”, 9”, etc.) and use compatible bolt patterns and ID bores to other competitors’ wheels (15 x 9.75” bolt circle, 9.030” rim half ID bore). Vahlco offers front wheel shells in all common sizes from 7” to 10” wide with non-beadlock (NBL), non beadlock with dzus-on cover (NBL w/ Cover), outer beadlock (OBL) or outer beadlock with dzus-on cover (OBL w/ Cover). On all 13” sprint wheels, the backspace measurement is 1” less than the actual inner half measurement (ex. 5” inner = 4” backspace wheel). Vahlco 13” product is fully compatible/interchangeable with other wheel brands rim halves and centers.

Our front wheel shells are bolted together and silicone sealed   for easy repair for just one half if damaged. We always look to make it easier for the customers to maintain their wheels and save them money in the long term.. The wheel halves have a show quality shine to them with an option to purchase wheels in black anodize. The anodize we use is a bright dip which makes the anodize finish strong and durable, plus it looks cool too!

Vahlco offers rear spline wheels in all common sizes from 10” to 12” wide with non-beadlock (NBL), outer beadlock (OBL) or outer beadlock with dzus-on cover (OBL w/ Cover). On all 13” midget wheels, the backspace measurement is 1” less than the actual inner half measurement (ex. 5” inner = 4” backspace wheel). Vahlco 13” wheels are fully compatible/interchangeable with other wheel brands rim halves and centers. Our rear spline wheels are bolted together and silicone sealed for easy repair of just one half if damaged. Our 6061-T6 midget centers are fully machined for perfect balance and durability. We also offer Magnesium centers in 31 and 36 spline for your ultimate weight reduction.

Vahlco 13” bolt-on beadlock rings are billet, 100% CNC machined and come black anodized standard. Offering our Bead-Grip technology that properly secures the bead bundle of the tire whether you run a Hoosier or an American Racer tire. Vahlco beadlock bolt-on rings are not compatible/interchangeable with other wheel brands. Vahlco uses an aluminum CNC spun 3-button dzus-on mud cover that fully covers the beadlock bolts and wraps around the outside edge of the beadlock ring. Vahlco’s 13” 3-button covers are available in black, chrome and we offer carbon fiber covers. If you need the covers bolted to the wheel we can accommodate for that. Cover will need to be bolted if you race at Eldora and at The Chili Bowl.

Vahlco offers replacement rim halves in all common sizesfrom 2” to 9” wide with non-beadlock (NBL), outer beadlock (OBL) or outer beadlock with Dzus-on cover (OBL w/ CVR). Vahlco also offers special “bell inner” halves in 4”, 5”, and 6” widths to clear front brake applications. On all 13” Midget wheels, the backspace measurement is 1” less than the actual inner half measurement (ex. 5” inner = 4” backspace wheel). All individual parts for rim halves, centers, beadlock rings or mud covers can be purchased separately in kit form such as bolt kits, inserts, dzus buttons, bearing kits, dust caps for front hubs. If it was supplied on a wheel, we can supply replacement parts in some form.
