Guni Wheels are temporary chassis wheels designed to help move unfinished builds safely around the shop during mock-up, fabrication, suspension setup, and assembly. Instead of risking expensive finished wheels and tires too early in a project, they let builders keep a chassis mobile while the real work gets done.
More shop tools I actually use
Most people outside professional restoration shops have never seen these before. They are not street wheels. They are temporary rolling chassis wheels built specifically for unfinished vehicles.
In a real restoration or fabrication shop, projects are constantly being moved during assembly, suspension setup, mock-up work, paint preparation, fabrication, and final fitment. But at that stage of the build, the final wheels and tires are often not installed yet.
That is exactly where Guni Wheels come in.
They bolt directly onto the hubs and allow a bare chassis or unfinished build to roll safely around the shop without risking expensive wheels, tires, or freshly finished components.
Once a chassis build starts, mobility becomes part of the workflow.
A project sitting dead on jack stands slows everything down. You need to move it onto lifts, reposition it during fabrication, roll it out for body alignment, or simply get it out of the way while other work happens.
Temporary chassis wheels solve that problem cleanly.
This particular setup is going onto a Roadster Shop chassis currently being assembled in the shop.
The final wheel and tire package is not installed yet, but the chassis still needs to move during the build process. That is why temporary rolling wheels make sense at this stage.
In the video above, the chassis starts on the shipping crate with the Guni Wheels staged beside it. One wheel gets mounted onto the hub, the lug nuts are started by hand, then everything gets snugged down with the impact before the chassis is ready to roll.
It is simple shop workflow stuff most people never see, but it makes a huge difference during a real build.
For a one-time garage project, maybe not.
But for restoration shops, fabrication shops, body shops, or anyone regularly working on unfinished vehicles, they are one of those tools that quickly prove their value.
Fresh paint, polished wheels, expensive tires, and finished suspension parts all stay protected while the chassis remains movable and workable.
That matters a lot once you start dealing with serious builds.
Important: Always verify bolt pattern, hub size, and vehicle compatibility before ordering temporary chassis wheels.
High-end restoration work is all about process and control. The same mindset that applies to chassis setup also applies to paint and bodywork.

Most people focus on engines, horsepower, paint, and wheels. They never think about how unfinished builds actually move through a professional shop safely.
But when you are working on serious restorations, mobility matters.
Temporary chassis wheels keep projects moving, protect expensive parts, and make the entire workflow easier during fabrication and assembly.
They are not flashy. They are not glamorous. But they solve a real problem in real shops every single day.
