    I am in the process of building a vintage oval track stock car...I am not having any luck finding this style steel wheels...the current bolt pattern on the project is 5x4.75 and I would like to run 8" wide steel wheels...

    Does anyone on here know where I can find this style wheel??....

    Or know someone who could build them maybe??

    All the current day oval track steel wheels look too new to put on a vintage build....the project wont be raced but street legal...

    Any insight would be an awesome thing.

    Thanks in advance.

    @mikec4193 Just get some stock steel wheels widened to 8", or find some rusty old chrome reverse wheels & sandblast & paint them. Several of the circle track cars ran stock style steel wheels that had been modified. Some had small tabs welded from the center to the rim also, to strengthen them for hard cornering. If you want it to really look correct, use a smaller backspacing on the right side so they stick out farther on that side - for weight bias.
