I LOVE the daisies, in my top three wheels, but d@%m, the repops are expensive for the real one piece!
Love the 55 but American does not have the right backspace unless I custom order at about $500 a wheel. Thanks

Are you stuck on 15x8 for the rear?
I think a late model mustang rim might have a backspace you could use, the bolt pattern is right. Maybe a 17x8, and if it has too much backspace, a spacer can fix that.

17's are fine but I want something different than the torque thrust style. I can use 17's all the way around with the right backspace. Rear needs 5.25 and front 4"
Going to go with the Vision Legend 5. I dont dislike the Torque Thrust look I just cant seem to get backspacing and price in the same sentence for something different. LOL I think these guys make the Jegs Sport Torque. They would not confirm but did say they make their center caps and the wheels look identical.
If you have better ideas please let me know. Thanks to all who replied. Used to I would go for speed and at 67 I want performance but comfort so taking the drag radials off and going with some hi performance BFGs, not white letter TAs. The car is to rough with the 255/6015's drag radials and steel wheels. They are heavy and trying to reduce unsprung weight for a softer ride. I will be selling the drag radials, drag shocks and the steel wheels. Wheels were made by Stockton and are 15x7 with a 5.25bs and 5 on 4 1/2. Im selling the fronts also. they are 15x4.5 with 5 on 4 1/2 with a 2" bs I think, I need to measure for sure when they come off.
