Bassett wheels?
 
Hey all,
Was thinking of getting 15x8 and 15x10 Bassett wheels for my 86', what do you all think and do you know if anyone has them already?

If I'm right those are sprint car wheels right?
Do they make a 5x5? And are they rated for weight and road use?

Are those steel? If so cragar make one similar if they aren't rated for your weight.

Race wheels typically make poor street wheels. Some are thin and light and bend easily on potholes and curbs. Make double sure they are rated for your intended application. Unkowme is right, Cragar makes some black steel 5 spoke wheels very similar to these. They would be a better choice.

Shoot, didn't know all that. thanks for the info and help guys. Guess I will look at the Cragar or just get rally wheels.

Thanks again!

Don't be discouraged about Bassett wheels to quickly... I saw a DOT approved wheel on they're website. I think they would look pretty good.
