Braid Fullrace A wheels

Braid is the built-to-order competition wheel: the Spanish maker's Fullrace A and Winrace families — modular, size-configurable, rally-armoured — the wheels ordered by specification sheet when catalogues don't fit the car.

History

Braid built its Barcelona-area business on manufacturing flexibility the volume wheel industry can't offer: competition wheels produced to order in near-arbitrary combinations of diameter, width, offset and bolt pattern — the Fullrace A circuit line and Winrace rally families sharing modular construction philosophies (welded shells, configurable centres) that let historic racers, rallycross builds, autocross specials and odd-fitment competition cars order wheels the way they order gears.

The customer map is the awkward-fitment world: historic touring and rally cars whose original sizes vanished decades ago, rallycross and autocross machinery needing reinforced construction in unusual dimensions, and one-off builds where Braid's order-sheet model beats hunting discontinued catalogues. FIA-standard options and motorsport certifications serve the regulated grids.

Used Braids trade with the built-to-order caveat: each wheel's specification (stamped and documented) suits the car it was ordered for, so second-hand value depends on your fitment matching someone else's old order — when it does, the price is excellent; the diligence is the usual competition-wheel law of runout, crack inspection and repair honesty.

Palmarès

Under national rally, rallycross, hillclimb and historic-racing champions across Europe and the Americas for two decades — the built-to-order record: odd sizes on winning cars that catalogue brands never made.

What to check before you buy

Specification match first: Braids were ordered per car — verify the stamped size, offset, bolt pattern and centre configuration against your exact needs, because 'nearly right' in wheels is wrong. Then competition-wheel standards: spin-check runout, inspect welds and shell joints (modular construction shows its service life there), crack-test after hard rally lives, and treat repairs as disclosed-or-walk. FIA-marked examples matter for regulated series. Used pricing is opportunistic by nature — when someone's old order matches your fitment, it's a bargain; ordering new to spec is the baseline that caps what used is worth.

Did you know

  • Braid's order sheet reads like a gearbox ratio form — diameter, width, offset, pattern, centre: wheels as configured products, not catalogue picks.
  • The awkward-fitment world keeps Braid busy: historic touring cars whose original wheel sizes died with their factories order Barcelona replacements by fax-era specification.
  • Rallycross builds trust the welded-shell construction for the discipline's launch-and-landing life — modularity and armour in the same design choice.
