They were a centerline style rim and looked great on bajas, buggies and fat fendered bugs. The 15X5.5s show up forsale, but i never see the 15X8s. I think theresa new version in the UK.

I have a set of those. Not to be rude or anything but what is the point of this topic/what do you want to know? Pics? Specs? Something else? Discussion in general about them?

They are cast wheels that weigh a ton and only share the nice looks of the 'centerlines'. Made in 5,5" and 8" in a 4-lug configuration (among others?). 8" has few applications other than bajas and wide fenders. Don't remember the ET/offset for them.

Yeah, your right, kinda pointless. My buddy worked for Eagle back in them days. I should have bought a pair then. Rare birds these days, considering how many there were in the 80's and early 90"s. Thanks for the pic and memories. Very Happy
