15x8 B/L Chrome Wheel 5x5 5in BS

The Bassett 15x8 B/L Chrome Wheel 5x5 5in BS is purpose-built for vintage hot rods, street machines, and classic truck builds where authenticity meets aggressive stance. This wheel delivers the iconic deep-dish silhouette that defined American muscle culture, offering builders a genuine alternative to reproduction pieces. Whether you're restoring a 1960s-era muscle car or modernizing a classic truck platform, this chrome wheel provides the visual impact and fitment reliability that experienced fabricators demand.

Constructed with a 5x5 bolt pattern (common across Chevrolet, GMC, and early Dodge platforms), this wheel features a 5-inch backspacing geometry that positions the tire face correctly for both stock and moderately widened suspension setups. The full chrome finish resists corrosion better than traditional plating and develops character over time while maintaining reflective brilliance. At 15 inches in diameter with an 8-inch width, this sizing accommodates period-correct tire selections while providing enough sidewall volume for smooth ride quality on vintage leaf-spring or coil-over suspension systems.

Mechanics and fabricators building C10 Chevrolet trucks, early Dodge trucks, or first- and second-generation Chevelles will find this wheel's dimensions ideal for avoiding brake clearance issues while maximizing tire sidewall under modest lift kits. The B/L (barrel lip) design strengthens the outer edge, reducing flex during hard acceleration and improving structural rigidity compared to smooth-face designs. Installation requires verification of your hub bore diameter and lug nut seat type before mounting; standard 1/2-20 studs work with most classic domestic platforms, though adapters may be necessary for modern conversion projects. Each wheel weighs 25.3 pounds, a consideration for rotational inertia on carbureted or early-fuel-injection engine combinations.
