15" Knock offs
Does anyone have a source for 15" knocks for an early Backdraft? Vintage has a special going on and indicated these would work. Any specs on back spacing for 15x8 and 15x10? Thanks.

Kirkham uses Trigo. I imagine they are the same or very similar. Halibrand and Vintage Wheels also make Cobra style wheels.

I thought they were but I couldn't find any on their website (which is terrible btw!) so I guess not. |

If your name accurately depicts your build number (226), don't you have 5 lug and not knock offs?

Posted on BDR Boys as well, this is from BDR1:
"... A BDR requires a 4 1/2 backspacing on a front 8 inch wheel in 15 inch. This is generally not a problem in knock off wheels. The problem is the rear wheel. In a 15 we use a 15 by 10 with a 5 3/4 backspace. As far as I am aware there are no 15 inch knock off's with the backspacing ..."
I had been talking with 2 vintage wheel companys about this issue but I never really got anywhere. Another thing to keep in mind is that our cars have 5 drive pins on a 120mm bolt circle wich is apparently close enough to use a chebbie 4 3/4" BC.

I just got info from Vintage Wheels that their wheels will fit. They have the 5 x 120mm bolt pattern and proper back spacing for 15x8 and 15x10 wheels. Will be ordering soon.
Yes, I do have 15" bolt ins and that why I wanted to go to knock offs.

Wouldn't now be a good time to think about if you are buying to go to 17's?
