Are these the deep dish OEMs they sell on jbugs and cb perf??

Jbugs sells them in 15x7 and 15x8, but I assumed a 5'' wide rim is as wide as you could go (perhaps if your lowered on spindles..)??

Can you buy these rims in a 4'' or 5'' width anywhere??

Those are the Mangles 15x5.5 inch chrome wheels that everyone has been selling for decades.

thanks for the response. I ran a search on 'Mangles' and only found 4 threads, none of which named any vendors...

Who sells mangles?

Everyone. Call any seller you want.

From what I have heard {and I can`t find any suppliers that have them} they either stopped making them or just stopped importing them for some reason ?

I'd go with Marge if it's a girl, and Henry if it's a boy . . .
