They are Bogart "Steely Dan's" wheels. They come in three sizes in the 15" line. 15" X 4" 15" X 8" and 15" X 10"
After looking at my records, I am correcting this. Here they are ready for final balancing and welding. The "Steely Dan's" 15" X 4" weighed 17 lbs each. My Centerlines 15" X 3.5" weighed 11-3/4 lbs each. My actual steel wheels 15" X 4" weighed 38 Lbs each.
Here's an example with a hubcap mounted. You can get then in either satin finish or powder coated epoxy gloss glass black.
Here's a pair of chemically milled bumper brackets. Though the bumper itself is factory gauge, the brackets weigh half the amount of the stockers.
I'm surprised that the "Steely Dan's" weighed 17 lbs., that's on par with my 15x4.5 Torq-Thrusts. I just got a pair of 15x3.5 Super Tricks and their just under 9 lbs. each! ( according to my cheapo Amazon scale). I'm most likely going to run 15x10 Center Line Auto Drags on the rear, anyone know what those would weigh in at?
Yep, supertrick skinnies are ridiculously light.... but not real durable for street use. I got 8.5 lbs when I weighed mine.
The Super Tricks and rear Centerlines would only see track duty a couple of times a year, I would be scared to run the front S.T.'s on the street after getting my hands on a pair and seeing just how thin/ light weight they really are. I planned on trying to find 15x10 w/ 3.5" B.S. Super Tricks but they are all going for crazy stupid money when found. I just scored a set of rear Centerlines that i was able to buy for $200 bucks. I don't have them in my possession yet so the actual weight is still a unknown.
That front bumper (AMD) is just over a half pound lighter than the original Chrysler one. The bolts are T-2024 aluminum and holding that bumper and a few others fairly well.
Yes, the reason the Steely D's weigh 17 lbs each is their beefy billet construction and welding to enable them to survive the stress of the streets. They're still lighter than the real steel ones but with the benefits of looking like the real steel ones. They told me that they make a race weight version that is much lighter, but not for the street.
Rear studs are steel of course. T-6AL4V titanium fasteners and washers.
The Super Tricks are probably priceless now NOT because of their weightlessness, but because of their nostalgic status amongst the nostalgia Pro-Stock crowd.
Centerline tool is long gone. Anything I heard from the current "centerline" maker, I would take with a grain of salt.
While the wheels are turning on the subject of wheels, here's a little subtraction of weight on the rotating end of things with an aluminum hub assembly. T-7075 material. I'm not next to the numbers at the moment, but the weight reduction wasn't that much, perhaps a pound or two.
