Who doesn’t love a Gasser? Back in the day, the concept had drag racers everywhere hooking up the front of their rides with a straight axle and a sweet pair of wheels for better dragstrip performance–or just to look cool. Today, the original Gasser-style wheel is available from Rocket Racing Wheels in a bolt-in, 15×4.5-inch design. Three finishes means you can top off your machine with the look you want.

Official Release:

The 1950s and 1960s was the Golden Age of Drag Racing. It was when 10 spoke front runners could be found on everything from the run what you brung roadsters to full blown and supercharged Altereds and Gassers. Back then, the 15×4 size fronts were only available as spindle mounts on straight axles. Now, you can get the same “wheels up” look with a much safer 5 lug bolt-on application.

The Rocket Launcher preserves the original nostalgia gasser design and perfects it with modern technology. Our 10 spoke, Rocket Launcher is precision-crafted, designed, and tested to meet or exceed U.S. D.O.T. Requirements and SAE Standards. Available in a 5 lug bolt-on application and three finishes: As Cast, Gray/Machined, and Polished. Pair the Rocket Launcher with the Rocket Injector or customize your Rocket Launcher with our RPM 7 finish! Now, every NEW Rocket Launcher wheel can be customized in our iconic RPM 7 finish, a tribute to the DOW 7 gold coating of the 1960’s and 1970’s. The Rocket Launcher is available in 15×4.5.
