17×4.5 Forged Monoblock Front Wheels for 2002 Chevrolet Camaro (4th Gen GM F-Body) – Gloss Black and CNC Machined Drag-Race Skinny 5×120.65
Developed for the 2002 Chevrolet Camaro (4th Gen GM F-Body), these 17-inch forged monoblock front wheels combine a narrow drag-racing profile with an angular multi-spoke design. Gloss Black recessed sections contrast with bright CNC-machined aluminum surfaces, creating a sharply defined two-tone appearance suited to a dedicated straight-line racing setup.

Descriptions
Engineering Notes
XINGTU’s engineers want to highlight three details that define this build.
Lightweight Forged Front-Wheel Construction
The 17×4.5 forged monoblock wheel features an angular multi-spoke design with narrow spoke sections, open windows and recessed pockets across the wheel face. The compact width accommodates a specialized front-tire configuration for drag racing, while the intricate spoke arrangement gives the narrow wheel a distinctive appearance.
The center, spokes and barrel form a continuous forged aluminum structure without separate structural rim joints. CNC machining defines the spoke profiles and recessed areas within the monoblock body, allowing the narrow barrel and detailed wheel face to form one integrated component.
The finished wheel weighs 8.9 kg. Its configuration focuses on the requirements of a dedicated drag-racing front-wheel setup rather than conventional street-wheel proportions.
Gloss Black & CNC-Machined Two-Tone Finish
The wheel combines a Gloss Black coating with exposed silver aluminum surfaces created through a separate CNC machining operation. Black recessed pockets provide depth behind the brighter spoke faces and geometric edges, giving the multi-spoke design its distinctive contrast.
After the initial black coating, CNC machining removes the finish from selected surfaces to reveal the aluminum beneath. This produces defined metallic edges and spoke details rather than relying on a second silver paint color.
A transparent protective clear coat covers the finished surfaces, helping protect the machined aluminum and preserve the contrast between the black recesses and silver details.
The additional machining, surface cleaning and clear-coat finishing stages contribute to the recorded 45-day production schedule.
Dedicated Drag-Racing Fitment for the 2002 Camaro
Produced for a 2002 Chevrolet Camaro (4th Gen GM F-Body), this wheel measures 17×4.5 with 2 inches of backspacing, a 5×120.65 bolt pattern and a 70.3 mm center bore.
The narrow width and specified backspacing establish the wheel's mounting position and support a dedicated front skinny-tire configuration. The 5×120.65 PCD corresponds to a 5×4.75-inch bolt circle and should not be confused with the different 5×120 specification.
The recorded dimensions represent this Camaro drag-racing project. Brake-caliper clearance, suspension components, steering movement and front-tire compatibility require verification against the actual vehicle.
The production record does not specify the offset, load rating or lug-seat type. These details require confirmation before installation.
From Design to Delivery
Quality Verified
- PCD and center-bore dimensions inspected
- Backspacing checked against the customer-approved specification
- Radial and lateral runout inspected
- CNC-machined spoke edges checked for consistency
- Gloss-black coverage and clear-coat sealing inspected
- Wheel weight verified at 8.9 kg
- Dynamic balancing completed for every wheel
Result
The finished Camaro front wheel features a distinctive contrast between its reflective silver spoke surfaces and deep Gloss Black recesses. Angular spoke sections intersect around the center, while the precisely defined machined edges give the narrow wheel face a detailed, technical appearance.
The 17×4.5 forged monoblock construction retains the compact proportions required for a dedicated drag-racing front-tire setup. With a finished weight of 8.9 kg, the wheel combines its specialized dimensions with the black-and-machined finish of the completed project.

Build & Fitment
Drag-Racing Front-Wheel Specifications
The completed wheel measures 17×4.5 with 2 inches of backspacing, a 5×120.65 bolt pattern and 70.3 mm center bore. Its narrow profile accommodates a dedicated drag-racing front-tire configuration rather than a conventional street-wheel setup.
Forged Monoblock Structure & Wheel Weight
The center, angular spokes and barrel form a single forged aluminum body. CNC-machined openings and recessed pockets shape the wheel face without additional structural components. The recorded finished weight is 8.9 kg per wheel.
Mounting & Front-Tire Compatibility
This configuration was produced for a 2002 Chevrolet Camaro GM F-Body project. The selected front tires, brake calipers, suspension components and steering clearances must correspond to the actual vehicle. The lug-seat specification, offset and load rating remain subject to confirmation before installation.

FAQs
1. What Makes These Wheels Suitable for a Drag-Racing Front Setup?
The 17×4.5 narrow rim accommodates a specialized front-tire package used in straight-line racing. Its 2-inch backspacing and forged monoblock construction reflect the requirements of the featured Camaro drag-racing project rather than a conventional street-wheel configuration.
2. What Are the Dimensions and Weight of These Forged Wheels?
Each wheel measures 17×4.5 with 2 inches of backspacing, a 5×120.65 bolt pattern and 70.3 mm center bore. The finished weight is 8.9 kg per wheel.
3. How Is the Black and Silver Finish Produced?
The wheel first receives a Gloss Black coating. Selected spoke faces and geometric edges then undergo CNC machining to reveal bright aluminum surfaces beneath the coating. A transparent clear coat protects the completed two-tone finish.
4. Can These Narrow Wheels Be Used for Everyday Street Driving?
The featured configuration was developed for dedicated drag-racing front-wheel use. Its narrow width and specialized tire requirements differ from conventional street-wheel setups. Any intended use must be evaluated against the applicable wheel and tire ratings, vehicle requirements and racing regulations.
5. What Mounting Hardware Does This Wheel Require?
The wheel uses a 5×120.65 PCD and 70.3 mm center bore. However, the production record does not specify the lug-seat type. Compatible mounting hardware must be confirmed against the actual wheel seat and vehicle requirements before installation.
6. Can the Wheel Design or Finish Be Customized?
Wheel backspacing, mounting dimensions, spoke geometry and finishes can be discussed for different racing applications. The Gloss Black and CNC-machined silver combination represents the completed design shown on this page.
7. How Long Does Production Take?
The recorded production schedule is 45 days. It includes forged monoblock machining, Gloss Black coating, secondary CNC finishing, protective clear-coat sealing, dimensional inspection and dynamic balancing. Shipping transit and additional revisions are separate.
