Are they Centerlines? What size and offset?

 

[tcm glx]

Yeah. 15" centerline. The only thing I am not sure of is the backspace. It looked (eyeball alone) like O offset. I am picking them up tomorrow. Will post up pics after.

You putting those on your Cherokee?
With nearly zero off-set?

Time for a lowering kit and some hydraulics...

 

[tcm glx]

Zero offset is a backspacing of 4 with a 15x8"

Aren't those drag wheels? If so I'm pretty sure they're meant to be super light not super strong :laugh:

Just be careful?

Ya' know you all are just a bunch of sick bastids!!

And I had always thaught back spacing was measured from
the inside rim edge......

:dunno:

OH...go ahead and mess up our plan to follow him while he destroys a set of ultra light drag wheels....

Correct. But offset is different than backspacing. Offset is measured from the center of the wheel. So 0 offset on an 8" wheel would be 4" backspacing.

hey Tony I had a set of those on my trans-am they are not very strong keep an eye out for signs of cracking and bent lips

Ahhhhh haha, ok, I didn't know he was running jeep speed with them. Provided he's got enough sidewall and tire pressure they should fair relatively well then

 

[fiyerbirdie]

very nice choice. and a great deal too. If you have a magnifying glass handy you can see the same centerline tellstars on my bird in my avatar. I wish they still looked as ultra-super clean as they did new. If I had a new set I'd look for some type of sealer so the polished aluminum didn't fade/pit/absorb dirt. Every spring I spend about 3 hours per wheel with polish.... but they're never quite the same as they once were. And I believe they are plenty strong for you. I have small bend in the lip of mine, from when I had to take a 20 mph curbshot to avoid a speeding dumptruck. But I think those forged wheels are damn strong.

and wow, what a price!!

Works VERY good... Terry and Frank Zupan (owners) are good family friends of ours... Or at least used to be, I haven't spoken with them in a while.

What's with the "Note:" on the link?

"2WD only; 30 in. maximum tire diameter."

I can understand a max tire diameter on a rim, sort of. But 2WD only? That just don't make sense to me. Unless I'm missing something.

max tire diameter is usually because the rim is sight weight and they didnt over size the flange area like on most rims and a larger tire exert more forces on the rim. 2wd usually means it was for street use only due to it not being re-enforced like most rims to save weight. I have pic of what 400+ whp trans-am did to a simular rim at the track, If I can find it Ill post it up
