got these mounted yesterday 15x8 rims got these off of speedway motors kool knockoff of a Rader wheel the center caps i was thinking of spraying black and adding a white spider web design.. The only thing is these are not deep dish type. and my slicks are only 9 " wide these will work fine cause the trailer im doing mods on is only 75" wide between the tires ... if they were deepdish with a smaller back space the car would fit on the trailer
