this is what I have on my car, I had to custom order them with the correct backspacing.

summit will do this for you, just call them. do not order them directly from wheel vintiques, unless you want to pay for the shipping.

I have ProStars on my 67 Barracuda. The rear end has been narrowed 2". I have 5.5 BS. It will be hard to find 7.5 BS

I don't think you can get 7.5" BS?

I have a set in my shop right now that is 5.5" BS. I will look to see if there's room to move the center to 7.5", I don't think it's possible?

I will look a little later when I get out there and post back.

Someone was saying they had trouble balancing there's, mine were fine.

Get a set of 15x6 wheels and take them to the nearest circle track shop. They either can or know someone who can add a 4" wide ring in the back side of the wheel.

Back in the early 70s I had 2 sets of steelies that were 15X10.. They were made by cutting(splitting) wheels on a lathe. Then welding the front half of one sectioned wheel to the rear half of the other. Know what I mean Vern?

No need to cut apart or widen old steel outers...easy to get new 15 x 10's... Carlise makes a few different drops/ID sizes in them.

I don't know if they sell retail directly or not, but...

They have various sites for the company (they make Cragar amoungst other things) here is one off hand.. http://www.carlisletransportationproducts.com/

They are not the easiest place to deal with I have found over the years

but there are not a whole lot of companies making the outers themselves (and for me, they are local in SoCal as well) and they do make the stuff in house out here, watched the outers and centers being made myself..

As mentioned above I got mine custom made from Wheel Vintiques, but through Summit Racing. Free shipping that way.
