Need steel wheels w/deep backspace
« on: January 23, 2010 - 06:33:19 PM »
Maybe someone here can help me. I am looking for a pair of plain steel wheels that are 15 x 12" with 5x4.5 bc and a backspace of 7.5" or 8". I checked all the normal places with no luck. Then I found a guy on ebay who was selling a set of Bart wheels ( for IMSA stock cars) and I went to Bart wheels and they don't offer anything deeper than 6". I tried Aero wheels (for stock cars too) and same story. Summit and Jegs have mags but can't come up with steels either. Trying to avoid the expense of custom made wheels. Any ideas?

Check Stockton Wheel.  They show a Mopar plain steelie (they call it a 40 series) in 15x14 with 8" bs on the site.  Looks like their 15 x 12 is $195.

How hard would those be to weld up?

to get them dead true for me - real hard but there is a couple shops in town that true bent wheels that have the jigs to do it for about $25 each ... they just won't build any
