Help Identifying Wheels

[Mpacker]

Hi everyone,

I recently inherited a some Mopar and drag racing items from my father, as described here Mopar Inheritance.

He was in the middle of a few projects when he passed away and I was hoping this forum could help me identify a few items, with the goal of selling them later to help with completing the Dart he was working on.

I scoured these for some kind of ID, but couldn't find anything on them, front or back. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! I think they're Weld Draglite wheels but am not certain.

If anyone could also school me on how to figure out all the measurements on them (bolt pattern, backset?, etc.), that would be much appreciated too.

Thanks!

old school Weld Wheels maybe
definitely a dual bolt pattern
a quick internet search will tell you how to do measurements

I'm sorry to hear about your Dad..

Thanks for saying that. I grew up on job sites and drag strips with him. I’m hoping to get the Dart he had on the road in memory of him.

You certainly have my condolences......but dammit man. Looks like your pappy was on the way to buidin somethin with ATTITUDE. I know you ain't me......but damned if I wouldn't finish it out just like you thought he wanted to. Probably be a lot of fun. Build his race car and paint "DAD'S DREAM" on the side.

Well, you're on friendly ground here on FABO. Plenty of good people willing to help.
I hope you get it going. Post a pic of it !

The slicks are worth some $$$ too, if not wore out.

Thanks Rat Rod. They hold air, but I saw some rot on them so I didn’t figure them into the price. I checked the “wear” holes on them and looks like the had about 1/8” left on them.
