RD-HC2 Snowflake - Rueda Forged Wheels

The RD-HC2 Snowflake is a masterwork of nostalgic design and modern aerospace engineering. As a cornerstone of our Throwback Series, this wheel is a faithful yet elevated reimagining of the iconic honeycomb mesh patterns that defined the 70s and 80s golden era of the Pontiac Firebird and Trans Am. By utilizing state-of-the-art CNC machining and forged 6061-T6 aluminum, we have transformed this legendary retro silhouette into a high-performance component. The RD-HC offers extreme rigidity and weight optimization, bringing 21st-century precision to a classic aesthetic that honors its muscle car roots.

Key Features

• Firebird Heritage Aesthetic: A high-definition recreation of the classic 70s-80s snowflake pattern, tailored for enthusiasts looking to maintain a period-correct "retro" soul while upgrading to modern performance standards.

• Two-Piece Modular Construction: Features a precision-forged center paired with a high-luster barrel, allowing for bespoke offset configurations and aggressive outer lip depths that far exceed original factory limitations.

• FEA-Verified Structural Integrity: Every RD-HC center undergoes rigorous Finite Element Analysis to ensure it can withstand the high-torque demands of modern Pro-Touring builds and high-horsepower engines.

• Big Brake Kit Compatibility: Unlike vintage cast wheels, the RD-HC is engineered with optimized back-pad geometry to provide ample clearance for modern, oversized multi-piston brake systems.

• Artisan Hand-Finishing: Available in a variety of premium finishes, including signature Trans Am-inspired gold centers and mirror-polished outers, hand-inspected to ensure a flawless surface.
