Default 15x10's and rear end

Does anyone know where I can get some decently cheap 15x10 wheels with 4.5 inches of back spacing? Keep in mind they will be replaced later for some light weight wheels.

I am having a Dana 60 built for the rear end and I was recommended to get the wheels and tires (30in tall 12.5 wide full slicks) together to bring them over to the shop to mock them up and see how much the axle and housing needed to be narrowed to fit underneath.

Thanks for the help
-David

Get some weld salad shooters. they are a good, affordable, proven light weight rim.

yea i just checked summit and I can get some for like $60. I am talking with my rear end guy to see if I could get him to narrow the axle a little bit, get it all built and then buy wheels after that with the right back spacing and have him recenter them

$60... are they 5 or 6 lug? seems dirt cheap for a 10" rim.

I think they are 5 but since I am going with custom 35 spline axles, I can pretty much pick any bolt pattern.
