13x8 4x100mm 3in BS Black

The 13x8 4x100mm 3in BS Black wheel from BASSETT is engineered for vintage and classic vehicle builds where authentic period-correct fitment meets modern reliability. This lightweight alloy wheel is purpose-built for applications requiring a 4-lug, 100mm bolt pattern—common across European and Japanese import platforms from the 1980s through early 2000s. Whether you're restoring a classic Honda, Datsun, or vintage European compact, this wheel delivers the aesthetic authenticity and mechanical precision that serious enthusiasts demand for show-quality restorations and street-driven classics.

The 13-inch diameter and 8-inch width provide optimal sidewall height for ride quality and handling balance without sacrificing visual proportion on smaller-displacement engines. The 3-inch backspace (BS) geometry positions the wheel face closer to the hub, critical for clearance verification when working with period-correct suspension geometry and brake components. Black powder-coat finish resists corrosion and UV degradation while maintaining a classic appearance that complements both stock and modified engine bays. At just 15.13 lbs per wheel, BASSETT's lightweight construction reduces unsprung mass—a measurable advantage in acceleration, braking response, and suspension articulation that enthusiasts will feel on backroad driving and autocross courses.

This wheel suits restorers and performance-minded drivers building vehicles with 4x100mm lug patterns, including vintage Honda Civics, Accords, CRX models, Datsun 510s, and select Volkswagen platforms. Before purchase, verify your vehicle's specific bolt pattern, center bore diameter, and brake/suspension clearance; 3-inch backspace requires careful measurement to prevent rubbing on struts or brake calipers. Installation with quality lug nuts torqued to manufacturer specification ensures safe, vibration-free operation. Pair these wheels with period-correct or modern low-profile tires sized appropriately for the 13-inch rim to maintain speedometer accuracy and chassis dynamics.
