15x8 Chrome Wheel 5x5 5in BS

The BASSETT 15x8 Chrome Wheel with 5x5 bolt pattern is a precision-engineered replacement wheel designed for vehicles requiring authentic 5-lug, 5-inch bolt spacing. Built from steel and finished in bright chrome, this wheel delivers the durability and classic appearance demanded in both restoration and tactical vehicle builds. The 5-inch backspace (BS) geometry positions the wheel within the fender line, critical for maintaining factory suspension clearance and handling characteristics on trucks and utility vehicles.

Specification breakdown: The 15-inch diameter and 8-inch width make this wheel suitable for mid-size truck and SUV platforms from the 1970s through early 2000s. The D-hole design (five evenly-spaced bolt holes) provides secure mounting with proper lug nut torque procedures. At 21.7 pounds per wheel, the mass is typical for steel wheels this size, affecting overall vehicle weight distribution and fuel economy minimally compared to lighter alloy alternatives. Chrome plating offers corrosion resistance in dry climates; regular cleaning is recommended in salt-air or high-humidity environments to maintain the finish.

This wheel is essential for owners restoring original factory specifications, building support vehicle fleets, or replacing damaged wheels on legacy trucks. The 5x5 bolt pattern is found on Chevrolet, GMC, and Ford vehicles across several generations. Verify your vehicle's bolt pattern, center bore diameter, and lug nut size before purchase to ensure proper fit. Each wheel is sold individually; most vehicles require four units plus a spare for complete coverage.

BASSETT wheels are recognized in automotive circles for manufacturing consistency and heritage in the performance and restoration market. Steel wheels of this specification represent a practical, cost-effective solution for vehicles where original steel wheels are preferred or required, particularly in fleet, commercial, or period-correct restoration contexts where chrome detailing is valued.
