15x8 5x5 Black Spun 4.5in BS

The 15x8 5x5 Black Spun Wheel from Bassett is engineered for serious automotive enthusiasts and professional mechanics who demand lightweight performance without compromise. Built for vintage hot rods, classic muscle cars, and custom street machines, this wheel delivers the authentic spun-aluminum aesthetic that defined an era of American automotive culture. The 5x5 bolt pattern ensures compatibility with a wide range of classic and modern vehicles, while the compact 15-inch diameter makes it ideal for period-correct restorations or aggressive stance modifications.

The 15x8 sizing provides a narrow, deep-dish profile that maximizes brake clearance while achieving the aggressive look that separates show-quality builds from street builds. At 19.6 pounds per wheel, the spun-aluminum construction delivers genuinely lightweight rotational mass—critical for acceleration, braking response, and fuel efficiency on carbureted or fuel-injected engines. The 4.5-inch backspace pushes the wheel face closer to the vehicle centerline, perfect for tucking larger tires under fenders or creating that coveted flush-with-fender appearance without excessive negative camber or rubbing issues.

Whether you're building a street-legal drag car, restoring a first-gen Camaro or Chevelle, or fabricating a tube-frame hot rod, the 15x8 5x5 Black Spun Wheel integrates seamlessly with traditional suspension geometry and modern brake systems alike. Installation is straightforward for any shop equipped with a torque wrench and wheel balancing equipment; verify lug nut size and thread pitch on your specific application. The glossy black spun finish complements both polished aluminum and powder-coated engine bay components, making this wheel the foundation of any vintage-inspired performance aesthetic.
