SEMA NEW PRODUCTS

Tires, Wheels & Equipment

ith more than 290 exhibitors showcasing and 110 new product registrations within the Tires, Wheels & Equip-ment section of the 2009 SEMA Show, it is apparent that this segment of the specialty-equipment industry remains one of the most popular with vehicle enthusi-

asts. It is no wonder, as new tires and wheels can instantly change the look and feel of a vehicle. Exhibitors at the Show offered products for small to large passenger cars, trucks and even racing applications.

“There is a great demand for tires and wheels among specialty-equipment enthusiasts because they are one of the easiest and most visible ways to individualize your vehicle,” said Jim Skelly, director of SEMA councils, including the Wheel & Tire Council. “Not only is there a huge variety of styles and sizes available, but you can change them yourself and immediately create a unique-looking vehicle.”

What follows is a collection of some of the new products featured at the 2009 SEMA Show.
