    I need a little help from people that know, I'm getting ready to buy tires for a Galaxie I'm building for Bonneville, what I need is a lead on where to have manufactured or buy four inch wide wheels. Any help would be appreciated. Correction, the width is 4.5

    They show 15x4.5 You might look at drag car style front runners too.

    Summit shows 15x5 Weld draglites so they are out there.

    Weld has 3.5, 4, and 5 inch wide wheels available that are light and true. Not "traditional" in their styling, but good for a racer. Not too expensive, either.

    48, I've been looking at them but don't know how the 2" back space will affect the wheel alignment. Any thoughts?

    if you are going to go racing, I would go with a lite weight to reduce rolling m***..

    Boones 15X4.50-28 Goodyear. The wheels Lentz has might work if I can find 2 more.

    Just got off the phone with Rally America, they will make what I need and the price is reasonable. Thanks for the help.

    Gary and Jimmy are great guys to deal with from Rally America. I have bought wheels from them also.

    Just may run into them at Turlock next week. They are usually vending.
