Just mounted up what’s left of my M/T ET Street S/S tires, new 255/60-15’s are currently on back order so I don’t want to waste them running around on the street anymore. Running a set of Bassett Racing Wheels Inertia Advantage 15x8 steel rim, 5x4.5 w/4” backspace.

Bassett Wheel Inertia Advantage

Added caps from Amazon and domed Mopar logo emblems off EBay, Allstar 45° lug nuts, need to run some Wilwood .090” spacers in order to run center caps. All components combined comes in at a tick over $300 for a set of NEW American made lightweight steel rims (19.2lbs.)
With the cost of seemingly everything exploding through the roof these days, there are still ways to beat the system! :)

Definitely a nice wheel. Been checking them out for a while. Bummer that they aren't 5 on 4.
 
Thanks for the links, thats a great help for me. I like the look,Im running the same M/T Tires. :thankyou::thumbsup:
 
So the link for the caps shows 3.03 inch highlighted, is that the size you used>? thanks
 
Some old school Weld draglites would have been cheaper, lighter and probably less expensive and definitely look better.
 
I think he got the set or both rims for $300 if I read correctly which is pretty cheap

They are cheap at any swap meet, nobody in their right minds would pay to have wheels shipped at the inflated prices of shipping right now.
