Set of 4 17x8 Edelbrock 454 wheels (Cobra style) 5 ON 5 BP! Cent. OH

I really, really, REALLY want to use these wheels on a project I'm working on, but I just can't find a way to make them fit.

These are either Edelbrock 454 wheels or the Unique version of them (Edelbrock made a very short run of them, then sold the molds to Unique Wheel). The sticker on them says 454, which was the Edelbrock name for them, but the Edelbrocks had a little Edelbrock logo in the rectangle on the rim. I'm not sure if it came installed on the wheels or if you added it afterward, but whatever the case these wheels don't have the logos.

The Unique wheel is basically the same quality and finish as the Edelbrock wheel was, so it really doesn't matter who made them. I'm pretty sure these are Edelbrocks, as I don't think the new company is making a 5 on 5 bolt pattern. Here is a link to the ones currently available:

http://www.customwheelsdirect.com/wh...ock_Wheels.php


Yes these are 5 ON 5 BOLT PATTERN! This is the only set of these I have ever seen with this bolt pattern! I'll have to check, but I believe the back spacing is 4.5 inches. I know it's pretty close to that.

The wheels are used, but in pretty good shape. Overall they need a good polishing (they are machined aluminum so you can polish them up), and they only have a few very minor rock dings in them that could probably be fixed as well. The only major problem I see is that on one of them it looks like somebody had some trouble getting a wheel lock off and kind of boogered up one of the lug holes. It can be fixed, just haven't gotten around to it. It is on the gray part anyway, and if you position the spinner right you can't even see it.

Did I mention they come with tri-bar spinners as well? They do.

I am asking $500 plus shipping for the set of 4, or you can come pick them up. If I don't sell them here they will go on ebay, where I can almost guarantee they will bring at least $600. If you can find a set for less you should probably buy them. If you can find them for sale in this bolt pattern new, let me know. I'd love to find them in a different offset if they exist.

I can get more, better pictures emailed to you if you're serious about them. This picture shows one that had been handled a lot. They clean up much nicer.

They should fit fine on a 72, although I haven't tried them on mine. I bought them to use on my 57, but it has a modern frame spliced in and needs 5"+ offsets for the wheels.

I will try to dust them off and get some pics up tomorrow. I also have a set of two big BFGoodrich tires that fit the wheels I can sell too. I'll have to check the size, but I think they are 275/60/17's. They're big and would look nice in the rear. I have a set of fronts too, but they may be a little on the small side for these wheels. They are on different wheels right now. Looking for $100 for the two big BFG's.

Couple more pics in the daylight, since even the best of wheels usually look like crap when you photograph them with a flash...

Can you verify the backspacing? I would be able to pick them up. Thanks!

Backspacing is 4.25 inches. I haven't personally had them on a truck to take pictures because I don't have tires to fit all four of them. There are no tires currently mounted on the wheels, but I still have the two BFGoodrich tires pictured if anyone is interested.

Okay, I am interested. Would it be possible for you to hold them until the 23rd? I'll be up in Columbus to pick up my dad at the airport that evening. I can pay in advance. Thanks, Adam

Shouldn't be a problem. Email me at toesliderATmailshack.com (replace AT with @, of course).
