15x8 Wheel 5x5 Chrome D-Hole Armor Edge

The 15x8 Wheel 5x5 Chrome D-Hole Armor Edge from BASSETT is engineered for serious off-road and vintage vehicle builders seeking authentic, durable wheel solutions. This classic 15-inch diameter, 8-inch width combination has become the go-to choice for Jeep CJ-series platforms, vintage trucks, and custom 4x4 builds where the 5x5 bolt pattern dominates. Whether you're restoring a 1970s CJ-5 or building a period-correct rock crawler, this wheel delivers the timeless aesthetic and structural integrity that separates quality restorations from amateur builds.

BASSETT's D-Hole design features the distinctive perforated center pattern that reduces unsprung weight while maintaining exceptional strength—critical when running aggressive tires over rocky terrain or pavement. The full chrome finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to painted steel, essential for vehicles exposed to moisture, salt, and mud. At 21.45 lbs per wheel, this is a lightweight solution that improves handling response and reduces brake wear, making it ideal for both casual cruising and serious trail work. The Armor Edge profile reinforces the bead seat and sidewall contact points, preventing tire unseating on sharp obstacles and delivering measurable durability gains over conventional designs.

Mechanics and fabricators favor BASSETT wheels for Jeep restoration and custom truck builds where authenticity and performance intersect. The 5x5 bolt pattern compatibility covers CJ-5, CJ-7, CJ-8 Scrambler, and early full-size Chevrolet trucks, making this a versatile choice for classic 4x4 platforms. Installation requires standard 5x5 lug nuts and roughly 90–110 ft-lbs of torque per manufacturer specifications. Pair these with period-correct tires (typically 33–35 inches for CJ platforms) and you'll achieve the functional, aggressive appearance that defines quality off-road restoration work.
