Would like to buy (2) new or used wheels of this style 15X8 or prefered 15X8.5 with a 3-5/8 backspace.  I can't find a source for new wheels and used are just as tough to find.  Looking for a set without the ridge between the rivets if possible.

A set with a 3-3/4" backspace would also work. They are often listed as Outlaw, Centerline, American Racing wheels.


The wheels in the picture are true two piece (15x8) wheels with 3-3/8 backspace - can't use them after lowering my 33 Chevy.

Ed, spotted these on Jegs, close anyway?

I now see the lip under the rivet lime. You must have the original Centerline Auto Drag wheels, the only ones i can find on a search without that lip. I'm seeing some on E-bay, but too many to check all dimentions. Looks like those are running $$$$ if you can find your size🤯

Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!

I just have 15X8.5 slotted wheels on the car for mock-up...they fit inside the fenders nicely...wanted the car lower and will now need to raise the back some.

Extended the hood 5" (looks like a Pontiac now), roof chopped 2.5", foot boards raised about 1", stretched wheelbase and dropped the main body inside the front fenders and floor boards.

Getting ready to grind off the old lacquer (what a mess), finish welding the mods and get some sealer on it.

Now if the folks selling the Centerline wheels would respond!!!

Looks good Ed. I like the longer hood,  did that on mine also.
Hope your wheel guy comes thru soon. My brother is having the opposit on a racecar he is selling, lots of flakes out there🫤

Drove down there and grabbed the wheels Tom located.  Those rear wheels had a 3-3/8" backspace "same as mine" and not 3-3/4" as originally advertised, so I still need a rear set of 15X8 with 3-3/4 BS.  Grabbed them anyway (7 hour trip one way) because they were in like new condition and had like new tires.  I can use the front set for sure and have more trading material. ;D

Went to the Center Line web page, they don't list a 15X8 with 3-3/4" BS, wrote to them to determine if they ever made one...no response yet.
