    These are made by Scott Drake, available through Summit, under $160 each 15" x 7" 4.25 back space, machined aluminum. There are other center cap options.

    Not the slightest. I looked all over, no weight specs.

    They would look good on my back half car, but I may go with the Weld Pro Stars and the masks that are made for them..

    They look great! Will factory center caps work on these. What did you use?

    Larry70GS recommended these and I ordered a set. Right now the center caps are plain chrome, waiting for the tri shield inserts.

    I'm hoping I measured right at 45 mm. I got the message from the seller that they are on their way.

    Larry - These turned out great! Thanks for the help in finding a supplier. The first set got lost in customs, I contacted the seller and I received these a few weeks later.

    Did you weigh the wheels?

    No unfortunately but they were really light when I picked them up. If I had to guess, maybe 10 lbs? They also smoothed out my ride at highway speeds very nicely. The Cragars were rough riding with the old tires.

    Looks good! I thought mine were lost as well. I contacted the seller, and they said they would send out a replacement set, but then I got them in the mail 2 days later. I contacted them again, and notified them that I had received the emblems. They were great about it, I wouldn't hesitate to order from them again. International shipping is a bit unpredictable.

    I noticed that Summit has a copy of the Weld Pro Star. 15 x 8. 5x4.75. 5.5 backspace for $114 each. I can't download a picture but the part # is SUM-521P-586127

    Those look great! Very sharp, & light.
    Modern rallys with a slightly modern center emblem, perfect!
    I bet many of the original rallys us guys are running have more runout than those beautiful machined aluminums.
    Do they come in 8" width & optional backspacing?
