10x5.25" EJB wheel (Silver)
Introducing the SMCO EJB wheels. Crafted with modern technology and inspired by classic design, these wheel hark back to the golden era of classic mini race victories. Inspired by the Cooper S steel wheels as seen on the many race winning cars, such as that driven by Paddy Hopkirk. These wheels carry on that legacy with a sprinkling of modern design. No longer crafted from steel, these wheel are made from strong and light weight A356-T6 aluminum resulting in a wheel that weighs less than 2.7kg but has a load rating of 250kg.
In an effort to modernize and streamline the design, we smoothed off the lugs normally cast into the face to attach hub caps, "because race car". The offset and width is also something we spec'd to our preference. The SMCO EJB wheels measuring in at 10" diameter with a 5.25" width and a +20mm offset.
These specs are the result of wanting a wheel that will fit a 165 section tire with an ideal amount of sidewall stretch and having enough backspacing to fit perfectly flush on a car with factory plastic arches; or a slight aggressive poke on an arch-less car. Wheel sizing can alter the driving characteristics of a car tremendously, and these wheels have been designed to improve sidewall deflection, reduce scrub radius, and eliminate wheel rubbing or trimming of the front wing.
Add a set to your car and turn that Sunday drive into a Monte Carlo rally stage!
