Calibre Friction wheel - the future has landed

9th March 2011 Print
Calibre Friction Wheel Black

Friction, the latest wheel design from Calibre’s sublime 2011 collection balances classic good looks with motorsport design cues and fine paint detailing.

The new wheels offers a sideways look at the tired multi-spoke genre and shakes things up with hot red highlights on each spoke edge, contrasting sharply with the mile-deep black paintwork.

The bolt face is deeply recessed into the heart of the wheel, giving it a purposeful appearance, while the arched profile of the spokes offers superb brake clearance, underlying its role as a high-performance essential.

Available in both 7 x17” and 8 x18”17 fitments in both 4 and 5 stud PCDs, the Friction is a 2 stage heat-treated wheel making it more than able to withstand a little urban abuse on what passes for roads here in the UK. All key PCDs are covered including most Euro, VAG, Jap and Tuner cars

Colour wise, It’s all about classic gloss black, with the precisely applied red highlight. Prices start at £111+VAT for the 17” 4 x 100 fitment. The Pinstripe is now officially dead!
