    Who makes Inexpensive 15x8 5.5" backspace 5 bolt rim?

    Looking for an inexpensive 15x8, 5.5" backspacing, 5 bolt 4.5" bolt circle steel rims for mounting my slicks.
    Is there such a thing? trying to keep costs down , I know summit makes there own brand for about $120. Just wondering if some one
    makes a cheap steel wheel in that size

    Thanks

    Never seen a plain rim that wide with that back spacing , but that does not mean there is not one out there somewhere.

    Nobody makes a steel wheel in that size with 5.5" backspacing. I searched high and low for them. In order to run 15x8 5.5" backspace steel wheels on my car so I could have dog dish hubcaps and I had to build them myself.

    I have the summit wheels and they're decent. Not as light as welds but also at least 1/3 the price. I think you're going to have problems finding a steelie in the backspace.

    Call Jim's racing tires. They had wheels for me, that summit and jegs both didn't have. Awesome people to deal with too.
