If you were looking for an affordable "450 wheel" which of these two choices would you pick??

One has 4 nub hub and 4" back spacing
the other has 3 nub hub and 4 1/4" back spacing.

I thought a real 450 would come with 4 nubs and 4 1/4" backspacing or am I wrong on either???

Looks like the 450 wheels have 4 tabs so that it the one I would use. If your running hubcaps nobody will see them anyway.

Someone on here made a low budget set by using 15x7 Oldsmobile rallye wheel hoops with mopar centers welded in.

It's the outer hoop part that makes these wheels look different from the regular wheels.

That was good information, is the backspacing 4" or 4 1/4" like a Rallye wheel?

Unfortunately, neither of those look like a 450 wheel.

In addition, a 450 wheel measures 7" wide with 4.25" back-spacing.

Why not just make your own?

Go buy a 071 15x7 Rallye Wheel and some 4 nub 14" wheels cut them apart. Put the 071 ring on the 14" center and you can set whatever back placing you want.

Bare 15X7 rallye wheel singles appear to fall in the $150 range.

Personally I would not cut up a real 15x7 rallye to make something else out of it.

A guy i used to work for has an old rayco stump grinder with two wheels on it that look identical to 450 wheels.

Don't have a picture , but will have a sample at The Mopar Nationals next weekend of the new 450 wheel , from a friend of mine that is having them made now. Don't have a price or any to sell yet. See The Wheel Guy , now moved to Row I , spots 13 thru 16.

Frank I won't be at The Nationals so that's no help for most of us. Please keep me/us in the loop, I'm looking to purchase.

Do Olds rally hoops look the same?
