15X8 IMCA B/Lock Wheel D-Hole Silver 5x4.50

The 15X8 IMCA B/Lock Wheel D-Hole Silver 5x4.50 from Bassett is purpose-built for bracket racing, circle track, and vintage muscle car restoration projects where lightweight construction and precise bolt-pattern compatibility are non-negotiable. This wheel delivers the aggressive stance and classic aesthetic that vintage and modern hot-rod builders demand, while meeting IMCA (International Motor Contest Association) specifications for sanctioned competition. Whether you're prepping a dedicated track car or restoring a street machine, this 15-inch diameter wheel provides the ideal balance of retro styling and functional performance engineering.

Bassett engineered this wheel with a 15-inch diameter and 8-inch width to optimize tire sidewall geometry and load distribution on smaller-displacement or weight-conscious vehicles. The D-hole pattern with 5x4.50 bolt circle ensures compatibility with classic American muscle platforms and early drag-race chassis common to IMCA competition classes. At 27.12 lbs per wheel, this lightweight construction minimizes unsprung mass—a critical factor for acceleration, braking response, and lap-time consistency. The silver powder-coat finish resists corrosion and delivers a clean, professional appearance that complements both traditional and modern restoration aesthetics without sacrificing durability under extreme conditions.

This wheel is ideal for builders working with pre-1980s Chevrolet, Ford, Mopar, and specialty competition chassis that use the 5x4.50 lug pattern and benefit from a narrower, lighter wheel package. IMCA B/Lock classification confirms this wheel meets official sanctioning body requirements for bracket racing and nostalgia-class events, making it a reliable choice for drivers seeking both regulatory compliance and period-correct authenticity. Installation pairs seamlessly with period-appropriate tire sizing (typically 225/60R15 or 235/60R15) and adapts equally well to street, strip, or circle-track duty—a versatility that makes it an essential choice for serious vintage and modified-vehicle enthusiasts.
