Can anyone tell me anything about these wheels? The back say Sprint and they are marked 15 x . I have never seen anything like them before. They have Firestone Super Sports Indy tires size 6.00/15.50-15.They don't say it but they are 15X14 with 4" back spacing and 4 1/2" bolt pattern[/IMG]
Yes Ansen Sprints.. Years ago, I drove to Cleveland, Ohio and filled my truck with Ansen Sprint 15x12 and 15x14 wheels and Firestone dirt track tires.. A warehouse there was clearing out old stock and I got them for cheap.. Sold them at swap meets..
When you measure the bolt patern of a wheel, it is NOT center to center,but is CENTER to the OUTSIDE just like the person did it in the pics shown. The wheel is NOT a chevy (4 3/4) but appears to be Ford,Mopar(4 1/2) as indicated. The wheels are most likely Ansen Sprints.
They are a friends of mine, and he found them at Jefferson swap meet. He got them so cheap I thought they might be stolen. Now another friend owns them and he paid 10x's as much as my first friend paid for them. As we kept looking at them and have never seen a set, we thought that they might be something special. Is it common for the lug holes to not be centered? As far as I know they will be for sale, don't know how much.
You are right on how to measure wheel patterns. It is from the center of the lug to the out side of the wheel stud, Picture shows 4 3/4" Which IS Chevy.
