    Default Aluminum Wheel Hats

    I am interested in buying aluminum wheel hats for my Lola T644, inorder to reduce unsprung weight. Can anyone suggest a supplier? Should I go to my local machine shop and ask about having custom hats made?

    thanks for the help,
    Mike

    Mike-
    John Taylor at TDI is the answer to your question.

    Coleman Racing Products made custom hats and rotors for my DSR very reasonable.

    A second to Coleman. The part you're looking for may in fact be a stock part and not a custom. They make hats & rotors for FF and FC/2000 as stock products even though the majority of their business is stock car oriented. I've always found them very friendly to work with in the past.

    Default TDI - Coleman ............

    Your decision NO wrong selection here --- TGI/John Taylor is a Great choice! - Had some brake caliper work, and they drove them to FedEx Office to make the last shipping time . So is Coleman - I have used Coleman's "off the shelf" hats for years and they custom built my rotors -- After Sebring in January I need two rotors "yesterday", they looked up my file - had them made (added countersunk tappers to the mounting holes) and over-night'ed in less than eight hours -- both, real racers
