Spank Wheels with White Industries Hubs
Custom Spank Wheels on White Industries Hubs
Pick a Spank rim we carry, put it on a White Industries hub, and we lace and true the wheel by hand in our Georgia shop.
Why build Spank rims on White Industries hubs:
- Made by specialists: Spank rims made in Spank's own factory, Fratelli Industries, on White Industries hubs machined, assembled and inspected in Petaluma, California
- Proven: Spank's Vibrocore damps trail vibration and raises fatigue life; White Industries' cassette hub design has stayed basically unchanged since 1992
- Built to last: White Industries stocks parts for older hubs and gives a five-year warranty; Spank shotpeens the surface rather than machining metal away
- Laced and trued by hand, one wheel at a time, in our Georgia shop
- In depth below: Spike Race 33 gravel · 359 Spike Vibracore mountain

Gravel in depth
Spank Spike Race 33 wheels on White Industries XMR hubs
Our gravel pick from the Spank and White Industries parts we build with. The Spank Spike Race 33 is a hooked aluminum rim, 28mm inside, 22mm deep, sized for about 40mm to 2.2 inch tires. We lace it to White Industries XMR hubs in 32 hole.
- Bead Bite. This is Spank's patented anti-burp design at the bead. It is there to keep the tire in place and hold pressure, including at lower pressures.
- Titanium freehub bodies. The T11, CLD, XMR and MI5 rear hubs use a 6/4 titanium freehub body. On the CLD, XMR and MI5, two of the four Enduro cartridge bearings sit in the freehub and two in the 6061-T6 aluminum shell, which White Industries says gives smooth rolling and long life.

Mountain in depth
Spank 359 Spike Vibracore wheels on White Industries XMR hubs
Our mountain pick from the Spank and White Industries parts we build with. The Spank 359 Spike Vibracore is a hooked aluminum rim, 30.5mm inside, 19mm deep, about 610 grams in 29 inch, sized for about 2.3 to 2.6 inch tires. We lace it to White Industries XMR hubs in 32 hole.
- Sacred Geometry on the 369. A hollow bead wall improves lateral and vertical strength, Spank says, and its extra width reduces pinch flats and raises impact resistance. The 369 is 39mm outside on the same 30.5mm inner width as the 359.
- Three pawls and a threaded drive ring. Three heat-treated steel pawls on stainless steel leaf springs catch a 48-tooth steel drive ring threaded into the hub shell, for 48 points of engagement, or 7.5 degrees. White Industries says the whole hub is easy to service and rebuild.

Why the pairing, specs and FAQ
Custom hand built Spank wheels on White Industries hubs
Every pair on this page is in our builder today, with a rim and hub that fit each other. We lace each wheel by hand in our Georgia shop: tensioned evenly, trued flat and round, and stress-relieved before it ships. Spoke lengths are calculated from the measured dimensions of your exact rim and hub.
What Spank rims and White Industries hubs each bring
- A low, radially compliant section. The 359 and 369 stand 19mm tall and are meant to give a little under load. Spank says that improves traction over bumps and chatter and reduces harsh feedback, while the wide shape holds lateral stiffness.
- Vibrocore in the inner well. On the Vibrocore versions, Spank injects Vibrocore into the rim's inner well. Spank says this cuts vibration reaching the suspension and rider, adds torsional strength and increases fatigue life.
- OohBah rim center. Spank corrugates the center of the rim, which it says adds strength and rigidity. That lets the rim be wider without adding material.
- Titanium freehub bodies. The T11, CLD, XMR and MI5 rear hubs use a 6/4 titanium freehub body. On the CLD, XMR and MI5, two of the four Enduro cartridge bearings sit in the freehub and two in the 6061-T6 aluminum shell, which White Industries says gives smooth rolling and long life.
- Three pawls and a threaded drive ring. Three heat-treated steel pawls on stainless steel leaf springs catch a 48-tooth steel drive ring threaded into the hub shell, for 48 points of engagement, or 7.5 degrees. White Industries says the whole hub is easy to service and rebuild.
- A design with a long record. These hubs descend from the Ti Cassette rear hub of 1992, which White Industries says was the lightest on the market at the time. It says that cassette hub design has stayed basically unchanged for 30 years.
Spank and White Industries custom wheel questions
Which White Industries hub fits my Spank rim?
The cards on this page start on the White Industries hub our customers build with each rim most often (White Industries XMR). The builder lists every White Industries hub that fits your rim, in the drillings and brake types that match.
Do you build Spank rims on other hubs?
Yes. See our Spank custom wheel page for every hub that fits each Spank rim, or our White Industries custom wheel page for every rim on a White Industries hub.
Can you build with a White Industries hub or Spank rim I already own?
Yes. Choose the supply-your-own option in the configurator, ship it to us, and we will lace it into a new wheel with new spokes cut to the right length. You pay for the parts you need and the build labor.
How long will my wheel take?
Build time comes down to parts availability rather than bench time. Your estimated ship date is shown in the configurator before you check out, so you know the date before you pay.
Not sure what to pick? Email info@prowheelbuilder.com (fastest) or leave a voicemail on 470-253-0929. You will be talking to the people who build the wheels.
