Less expensive "450" Wheel??

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???

Thanks Ron

I know it's Saturday but any thoughts on this?
Ron

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?

I got cart is empty when I opened the summit link.

Unfortunately, neither of those look like a 450 wheel.

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

Yes your right but better than some rims I saw.Dr. Diff do you make these rims?? I thought someone mentioned that at one time.
Ron

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.

What's a rate for a071 rally wheel

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?

Here is a picture of an olds wheel and rally they look real close..I was going to go that route but I found a reasonable set of 450 wheels

About $100

Neil,

Let me know how many 390 singles you have and I'll come get them all.

i have a bunch of of 15x7 rallyes
and also 14 4 nub steelies in my junk pile
reasonable prices and 450 do not seem to mix..
now you have me thinkin...

Can you repeat that a little better??
Ron

Sorry
posting from phone jumble

Only have one bare 15x7 wheel (Nov 1969 iirc) just kicking around in my storage shed. I switched over to the 15x6.5's instead as they look close enough and were cheaper and easier to get.

From what I can tell watching them on Ebay a complete numbers matching set will go for way more than what individual wheels pull down. People don't want to take 6 months to track down wheels one at a time I guess.

Even though the rallyes are more common whacking one up to make a lesser appealing yet more valuable 450 wheel seems wrong to me.

I'm not making fun of you just don't get what your saying?
Ron

I have the rims needed to make the fake ones
And I'm tempted to do it.

Got it!!

It takes longer than that. I buy jumbled sets all the time trying to make whole sets. I probably have 40 15x7 390 wheels and maybe only 3 or 4 matched sets. So it takes a lot longer than 6 months
