I was looking for a set of 6.5x15 steel wheels for track days. I wanted to run 205/15's all the way around. Wasn't able to find any low cost "off the shelf" solutions for an unmodified 4x130 bold pattern. So I settled on 5.5in wheels and ordered a set from Sierra Madre Classics. ($59 each)
When the wheels arrived, they looks suspiciously larger than 5.5 inchs. So I put a tape measure on them and to my surprise they were just a few mils under 6.5 inches wide. I test mounted this morning and the backspacing and offset were spot on. Problem solved. Though others might like to know... https://sierramadrecollection.com/Steel-Whe...1-2-p19583.html [/url]     |

What do they weigh? I assume all steelies of similar size are in the 18.5 lb. range, but just for curiosity sake, can you let us know?
