Davin Wheel Company Introduces First Spinning Wheel Designed Exclusively for Hummer H2-Bling Bling

    PROVIDENCE, R.I.--May 15, 2003--Davin Wheels, the originator of the first continuous motion wheel, has reached a new level in design and engineering with the introduction of the Revolution H2, the first spinning wheel designed exclusively for the Hummer(R) H2.
    To support the vehicle's massive size and weight, the Revolution H2 boasts a 3,000 pound load rating, the highest for any spinning wheel.
    The Revolution H2 is able to handle the demands of the Hummer H2 because of the one-piece, rotary-forged construction of the base wheel. A strong, seven-spoke design is applied to both the base wheel and spinner to mirror the rugged design of the vehicle and the full chrome plating of the wheel resists corrosion.
    Like its sister products, the Revolution 4.1 and 4.2, the Revolution H2 also features authentic carbon fiber inserts.
    To accommodate clients who want to take their Hummer H2 off-road without causing damage to the wheels, Davin has manufactured the Revolution H2 so that the spinner can be removed from the base wheel. By placing a winter cap over the lug nuts, the wheel takes on an entirely new look. The winter cap will be available in the coming months and is sold separately from the wheel.
    "Because of the popularity of the Hummer H2 with our clientele, we wanted to provide a spinning wheel that is both sophisticated and functional," said David Fowlkes, president and designer, Davin Wheel Company. "Our challenge was to design a wheel that not only represented Davin's style aesthetically, but that also was engineered to safely support the massive weight of the vehicle. The Revolution H2 not only met all of our internal requirements -- it exceeded our expectations."
    As with previous Davin offerings, a limited number of Revolution H2 wheels have been manufactured and each set is outfitted with its own serial number. The Revolution H2 is sold in a 22-inch diameter and is the most recent wheel released in the Davin suite of products, which includes Davin Wire and Davin BLAK.
    The Revolution H2 is available from select distributors in the United States and Canada. For a list of distributors, please visit www.davinwheels.com.
