Centerline wheels back ordered???

Anyone know what's up w/ Centerline wheels being hard to get? Jegs and Summit keep backing up their shipping date...now it's the end of November.

One of the reasons I switched brand

This sucks b/c I just need an extra pair to match the set on the car. I want to easily switch b/t slicks and radials.

Just a suggestion and I'm not sure what style you are looking for but post a picture of what you are looking for on Yellowbullet and ask if any dealers have a set on stock. I'll be surprised if someone doesn't come through with a set AND a good price. Post as much info as possible in your first post. Width, bolt pattern, back-spacing, style, and options so you don't have to keep posting details.

because they don't seem to care to sell . I waited 3 months to be delivered the incorrect rims , custom backspace . Then told it would be the same time again . I bought Billet Specialties , should have done this to start with .

Look at their website..... last I glanced to check on some race wheels I didn't even see any listed. Market now is ### ### lifted trucks and Jeeps.

Waiting for some new offshore plant to become operational??

Kind of ironic. The very first set of rims I ordered for my car "New" was Centerlines. The rears were back ordered back in the 80's.

I had that problem 10 years ago. 15x8 with 4.5 back space. Should be pretty standard.

A couple years ago I ordered 4 Centerline Revolution wheels, after waiting forever I cancelled the order and found 2 front Centerline Qualifier wheels at Summit Racing and 2 rear 15x8 Qualifiers at Jegs. It's very easy for them to tell you they'll be ready in a couple weeks but actually making it happen is another story.

LOL! even on their face book page there is a "post" about a guy who had to pay up front and got drug around the block a few times with excuses... never did get his truck wheels.

I worked for Centerline years ago. Great Company..

Here.... Look at Competition Race and Street as well as Hot Rod and Drag wheels... ETC.


You can also check on overstock and specials by clicking on that and checking by bolt pattern. Lots of stuff there.

Interesting Chris.... This is what I came up with when I tried to see what was available a couple weeks ago. Looks like the same company. Just snuck the "alloy" into the url.

After seeing Jegs and Summit change the expected ship date a couple times on their website, I am very hesitant to order anything.
Once I get the money in hand for them, I'll put a post on YB and see if I can find anything.

I didn't see anything on their website about overstock?

Thanks yall.

Dealing with Summit for over 40 years and during the last few years they have changed some business practices and I don't blame them. They now are more of a broker on some items and will NEVER stock them. you place the order and summit will give you a ballpark delivery time. USUALLY that delivery time is much sooner so if its an item I need in the near future I will call the vendor to see if its in stock. Summit gets less bad feedback if it is delivered sooner rather than later. An example of these is I ordered header flanges to make a set of headers for my small block over the Winter. Summit said they would be delivered the 7th of October but last night I received an email stating they will be delivered TODAY. If in need call the vendor and then order from Summit. (unless someone on Yellowbullet can fix you up sooner) Good luck

An update to this old thread...Centerline is out of business. As far as their conventional wheels they've had for years anyway. The Convo Pros, Warriors, etc...not making them anymore. Looks like they may have restructured and geared more towards the newer big wheels, I dunno. But the old drag car type stuff is no more.

I was looking for a pair last week and can't remember if it was Jegs or Summit, but they actually had it on their website when you brought up Centerline's offerings...on the top of the page it said they were out of business.

Chip, what size rim, and BS do you need?

15x8 with 4.5" BS or 15x8.5 with 5" BS
4.5" bolt pattern.
Have to be Centerline Warriors...need a pair. I found ONE at Summit.

At this point I'm thinking of selling my current set and going to a different style, but man rims have gotten expensive!!! It's been a long time since I bought any. I think I've had these on the car for about 15 years, lol.

Yep, crappy situation....several options gone.

But I guess if the market was more active and buying tons and tons of the old drag style stuff, then they'd be more available?

Well this makes a used set worth a little more but I was looking at some Conco pro's for a street tire to swap like others wanted.Mine were 15x 5 on 5bs with 4.5 bolt circle.Bummer!

I have Centerline Qualifiers on my Duster and love them.
Check out Champion wheels chip, nice wheels and fairly affordable.

Lots of higher horsepower cars breaking wheels at the track lately so do your research

I may just buy a cheap pair of Draglites for my slicks.
The Champions are nice, but $500 a wheel is a good bit more than I'm wanting to spend. Beadlocks are nice, but I don't really need them. If I NEEDED beadlocks, then the Champions would be the way to go.

I'm not even all that crazy about the looks of the Centerline Warriors anymore (maybe just b/c I've had them for so long), but they're what I have already.

Chip, your Cuda deserves a badazz set of wheels, now open up that wallet buddy

I just changed my wheels and....if you looking for auto drags , I have 6 of them. 4 15x9 and two 15 X 6

Any luck finding used wheels Chip?
I can't find any 15x8 aluminum wheels with 4.5 backspacing in my area.
I'm about to just use a pair of steelies for my drag radials, but I think shank lug nuts are alot safer than acorn for a 10 second footbrake car.??

Nope, I'm in a holding pattern for now, lol. Not sure if I want to sell the ones I have on my road runner and then get a whole new set for the cuda or just get some cheap rims for the slicks.

They might be fine, but I don't like the idea of acorn style lugnuts on a fast car.

Yea I see it done alot but I'll stick with the shank lugs. Might have to use my Centerline Qualifiers for the drag radials and some gloss black steelies for the street.

You mean like they use in NASCAR

(And maybe the new Dodge Demon)

Come on Dwayne. You mean NASCAR where they have no torque and no hard launches. Not to mention those wheel studs they use are pretty daggum big aren't they? It might be an acorn style nut, but it looks like bigger than a 5/8" stud.

I have a spare pair of Qualifiers . 15x8 4.5BS
I bought 4 a few years ago. Now got 15x10 billet specialities for the strip .
Shame your on wrong side of the world 😆

Tex

I have a pair of 15 by 10 warriors. 4.5 bolt circle and back space. would probably sell.

Please let me know if you'll be in Ohio in the next couple weeks lol.

Haha . I wish . About 20 years since i was last in the states .

Tex

Those won't fit either one of my cars, but thanks anyway!

Looks like Summit found another one in their warehouse to make a pair like I need. We'll see if they're right when they get to my house in a few days.

Good luck Chip

What exactly happened with Centerline Wheels? Does anyone know? I heard the owner took a whole bunch of orders and took the money and ran.

It would be a shame to see their wheels not continue to be made any more.

Nice!

Got the wheels and all is good! Had to do a little massaging to get em to clear the 5/8" studs, now just need to find the time to mount up my drag radials.
