They do look rat sh*t but the sand blasting will hopefully get it off but I know for a fact that they are 4.5 inch wheels because I measured them personally and I can get a ruler on them and take a pic if there are any other people that say so because 3.5 do sound a little thin too I agree with JAM but I will take what everyone said and ask my dad but they will be getting powdercoated, I will be getting the to not powdercoat the wheel nut holes but apart from one or two suggestions I haven't really gotten a straight answer

gotta measure between the beads, not all the way across the rim - they're 3.5 unless they're widened... and if they're widened they're usually 5" or 6"

Well there are a set of 10x 4.5 jelly beans on the clubbie we have and it says an the side of the rim "10x4.5" and these steelies are the same width as them cause I took a wheel of the clubbie and it lines up with the steelie

Explain?

The Clubbie 4.5s are widened inwards. Outer part of rim is in same spot as a 3.5 is.
Ditto for an S wheel. :wink:

So what you are saying is that there is the same amount of tread on the road but it is just the inside of the rims that is different

Big whoop they have more tread on the road then my 12 x 5 inch rims do
