Props to 33 Imp for wheel fitment help

Huge props to member @33 IMP for helping me with Centerline wheel sizing. After his informative post in the “Backspace” post, I figured I would get his thoughts for my new Centerline Autodrags. Wheels were delivered today and they fit like a glove. Tires mounted tomorrow.

Shocking how light they are! Able to pick up two wheel boxes at once.

A '69 Bee with auto drags doesn't get much better, IMO.

In black yet! I can't do black anymore.
I'm a wheel junkie. Happy to help, Lee!

Gonna look good. What are you going to do with your old wheels?

You have a link or an item number for those wheels. They look awesome.

Looks Awesome!!! When they first came out I want a set Baddddd... I loved how they looked & after handling a set I knew how light they were... I'd been told how strong they were being forged vs the typical cast wheels of the time....
Then I saw a pair at the "Service Center" Speed Shop in Chula Vista Ca... They were from the front of a car that had lost control & went straight over a 6" curb at 50MPH.... They were Jacked.. Big time... But they weren't broken... I'd seen so many broken Cragars, ET's, US mags.. You name it, you hit anything at speed & they all broke... Centerlines are forged... They don't break... They'll bend... but they don't break...

I love my centerlines......all eight pairs!

For now, keeping them for when she needs a change of shoes.

The rears are the Auto Drags, 15x8.5” 4 7/8 BS 3mm offset

Fronts are the 15x7, come in only one size.

A buddy loaned me an original pair of Centerline 15x3.5 Auto Lites and those say Made in USA. Sadly mine say Made in China. Hope they’re as strong….

Those are gorgeous Lee, and look to be a faithful copy, even made in China. Im happy to hear that they are light, like the old ones. The original Centerline Tool Co closed its doors (in Soutern California) in 2017.
I have a few pairs of 15x3.5, one autodrag, two pair of prostock, and one pair of the original light wheel, Cragar Supertricks. The centerlines are almost as light as the supers, but way, WAY stronger! (If I remember right, the supers are 8 lbs.)

Yeah the Super Tricks are really light but really intended for race only... Even on a race car I think I would live with the extra weight penalty just to know the wheels aren't gonna fail

Honestly, I didn't really care for Centerlines till I got the Dart. I love em now. lol

I like them on Darts, but I absolutely love them on FB Barracudas....

 

[440beep]

I think these are lighter than my Billet Speciality Street Lites.

 

[33 IMP]

Oh man, that looks GOOD!

I have a couple pair for my '69 Barracuda. Needing some skinnies for the front. Of course needs the engine put back together also.
