Must-Have Accessories for Performance Enthusiasts

Must-Have Accessories for Performance Enthusiasts

You’ve upgraded your suspension, tuned your engine, and bolted on sticky tires. But before you hit the track, don’t forget the foundation of control and grip: your wheels—and the accessories that make them race-ready.

At Torqen, we work with drivers who demand maximum precision on the circuit. Here’s what you need to complete your track-ready wheel setup.


📡 1. Bolt-On Wheel Spacers: Extra Clearance & Wider Track

When every mm counts, bolt-on spacers let you:

  • Clear aftermarket suspension components

  • Run wider tires without inner rubbing

  • Widen the track for improved roll resistance

Torqen carries bolt-on spacers in 15mm to 30mm sizes, with integrated studs, corrosion-resistant finishes, and hub-centric alignment for rock-solid fitment.

Used on: Nissan GT-R, Subaru STI, Toyota GR Yaris, BMW M3 (F80), and more

🔧 2. Extended Wheel Studs & Open-Ended Lug Nuts

Racers often add spacers, which require longer wheel studs for safe thread engagement. We recommend:

  • Extended ARP or H&R studs (stronger than OEM)

  • Open-ended lug nuts for quick torque checks between sessions

  • Spline-drive or locking lugs for added security on street-legal builds

Finish it off with torque-check paint to monitor lug nut shifts after heat cycles.


⚖️ 3. Hub-Centric Rings: Vital for High-Speed Stability

Track speeds magnify small imperfections. Even slight misalignment causes:

  • Steering vibration

  • Uneven wear

  • Dangerous feedback mid-corner

Precision-fit aluminum hub rings reduce risk and give confidence lap after lap.


🔩 4. TPMS for Track + Street Hybrids

For dual-purpose builds, TPMS is still necessary:

  • Alerts for slow leaks under high G-forces

  • Keeps your road wheels street-legal after a swap

Torqen Tip: Buy a second TPMS set for your track wheels—no need to reprogram every time you swap sets.


🏆 5. Track-Proven Wheel Brands & Accessory Compatibility

Torqen carries accessories matched to top racing and forged wheel brands:

  • RAYS / Volk Racing

  • WORK Wheels

  • Enkei / OZ Racing

  • BBS / Rotiform

Every component is selected for fitment, strength, and heat resistance, tested by the same drivers who live for apexes.


Conclusion: Get Track-Ready with the Right Hardware

Power and tires alone won’t make you fast. The right wheel accessories ensure your setup is dialed in, safe, and race-legal. From spacers to studs, lug nuts to rings—Torqen is your pit crew for performance and precision.
