I'm seriously considering mini tubing my Dart. If I do the rear end will be narrowed so I won't get pi$$ed everytime the rear tires have to come off.

I've looked at the Street Lite wheels on line but never saw a set on a Dart that I recall. Anyone have some photo's? I like my Welds but think these would look better.

I know these ar Billet Specialties (rears only)......not sure on the model.

Al Bruischart's Dart Sport (412 SB Duster)

He might have better pictures. I think they look sharp!

Here's a set of Greg Weld's. I'm not sure if
they're still available since his passing.

I thinking of buying those for my car. I think they look awesome! I forget his screen name, maybe he'll chime in, but he has streetlites on his purple dart and they look great.

Chris, I looked at the Centerlines but I like the way the Billet Specialties are milled in the center of the spoke. Another thing is I can get a 2.25" back space on a 4" wheel with the Billet Specialties, Centerline only has 1.75" in the 4.5" bolt pattern.

ProSport. Are you're fronts 1.625" back space or 2.25"?

Thanks for the photo guys .

My front wheels are 3.5" with 1.75" back spacing. I wish they had the 3.5" wheels with 2.25" backspace.


I see the Street Lites look good on B-body's too.

O.K. with all these pictures and the Summit discount code I decided I needed new wheels and tires. I had to order the center cap spacer for the front wheels so the caps aren't on yet but you get the idea. Just had them mounted and balanced today.

Nice to see some of my fellow mopar brothers using these very nice wheels on their street as well as race cars. Here is another pic of the wheels on my gtx. I am actually looking forward to running the car at the track again and see if I have gained anything with the weight loss after loosing my heavy steel wheels?

the spacers are 1/2" i would machine the hubs down for clearance.otherwise good luck they wouldnt work on my 73A-body disc setup and will start to look goofy the more you space them out.

Thanks, I did some measuring last night and think if I clearance the cap slightly it will fit. If not I will pull the rotors off and have the hub machined down.

heres a pic of them on my 71 scamp...sweet wheels, and very light too...however, they are a [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean] to keep clean i can tell you right now...also not sure what backspace you plan to run, but with the 7.5 inch backspace on a 15x10 minitubbed abody and the 11 inch drums, the wheel could not be tightened down...i had to machine down the fins on the drum so that it could fit in the wheel properly and now it fits just right, so just keep that in mind (thats why the last picture there is no drums on the wheel)

A rotary file, a BFH for the dust cap and the center caps fit perfectly.
