15x8 5x4.75 Black Spun

The 15x8 5x4.75 Black Spun wheel from Bassett is engineered for enthusiasts and mechanics seeking a lightweight, vintage-inspired rim that delivers both aesthetic appeal and functional performance. This classic spun-aluminum design fits a wide range of domestically-built vehicles from the 1960s through 1990s, particularly those with 5-lug bolt patterns common to Ford, Chrysler, and American Muscle platforms. Whether you're restoring a hot rod, upgrading a street machine, or building a competition-grade show car, this wheel strikes the balance between period-correct styling and modern reliability that serious automotive builders demand.

At 15 inches in diameter and 8 inches wide, this rim provides a classic proportional stance that works well with period brake systems and suspension geometry while maintaining adequate tire sidewall for ride quality and shock absorption. The spun-aluminum construction offers a lightweight alternative to steel wheels—each unit weighing just 17.95 lbs—which directly reduces unsprung mass and improves acceleration, braking response, and handling characteristics. The satin black finish resists oxidation and corrosion, offering durability without sacrificing the authentic machine-turned appearance that defines traditional hot rod aesthetics and vintage competition wheels.

This wheel is ideal for builders working with 5x4.75-inch (5-on-4.75) bolt patterns, which appear on countless classic American vehicles and remain standard across many restoration platforms. Installation is straightforward for any mechanic with basic wheel and tire service experience—simply confirm your vehicle's hub diameter and bolt pattern before purchase, as improper fitment can affect handling and safety. Pair these rims with period-correct tires or modern radials that fit your width requirement, and you'll gain the visual authenticity and weight savings that make the difference between a stock restoration and a truly dialed-in performance build.
