Old-school styles of wheels constructed in the right way can really change the driving experience and create a positive impression of your vehicle on the road. Klutch is a company that takes recognizable, respectable old-school designs and makes them perfect for modern cars implementing high-end technologies and structural decisions. In contrast to what was used decades ago, Klutch wheels offer lightweight, durable, and robust products that easily meet and exceed modern standards, while playing with the nostalgia many vehicle enthusiasts have. 

The company started its journey in 2012, and to this day they released many beautiful wheels with a wide range of designs for all vehicle types and purposes. Let’s review the wheels that Klutch has in store for us in 2022-2023. 

SL: Stepped Lip Wheels by Klutch

The majority of popular wheels have a stepped lip design. They are easy to manufacture and look good on modern vehicles with sharp and curvy shapes. Klutch combined classic designs with modern stepped lip technology and released these three unique models. 

SL1: eighties-style wheels 

The first released model from the Stepped Lip series offers a recognizable classic design of multiple spiky spokes that pierce through the wheel and smoothly connect with the stepped lip ring. The bold, wide center cap area has Klutch signature engravings with 4, 5, or 6 bolts circling around. 

  • You can purchase SL1 wheels in 16×9, 15×8.5, or 16×8 inches. Lug configurations depend on your vehicle’s specifications. 
  • This model is released in beautiful, vintage-looking Black, Silver, Gold, and Mixed Black and Bronze finishes. 
  • The wheels are protected by durable finishes that will keep the look as smooth and impressive as on the first day of installation. 
  • Multiple thin spokes gracefully cover the face of the wheel leaving only a little bit of openings for debris release. 

SL2: high clearance vintage wheels

In this model, the Klutch team focused on combining a classic circular spokes design with the street big wheel style which creates a competitive, confident look so popular among street racers and customization enthusiasts.

  • SL2 wheels are designed to perfectly fit mid-size sedans and sports hatches. The wheels are small and aren’t designed for big cars, but create a bold, massive look.
  • Although you may think that this model is manufactured as a stylistic enhancement and focused on visual advantages, SL2 is actually a reliable and powerful set of wheels that works great on business, family, and competitive vehicles. 
  • SL2 wheels from the Stepped Lip series are manufactured in 16×9, 15×8.5, and 16×8 inches.
