Looking for someone's used 15" aluminum wheels for land speed racing.  These need to be able to go 250-300mph.  thanks.  Tires would be a bonus.   :-D

Sorry, GM 5 on 4 3/4.  Steel will work too.

  Matt, if you buy used, save yourself some grief by having them tested for true before you mount the tires, and remember that steel wheels have to be fully welded.
  If you don't want to run moon discs, I would look at new aluminum wheels.  I don't think they cost much more than new steel "race wheels", and you won't have to wait three months to get them.                   Bob

I ordered steel racing wheels from The Wheelsmith. They were great to work with, and it was about 10 days from when I ordered, until they showed up at my door. Moon sent the discs straight to them. and they welded the mounting tabs on.

Just an option.
