They are used on off road cars. I am almost certain they are still made. They also came in bead lock models. Look at any hotVWs featured stadium racer, serious baja, rock crawler or trophy truck and they use those wheels. They can be very expensive too.

I almost bought that exact same wheel at Vegas last weekend. I passed it up, and Jimmy got it. They were made for offroad. A clone is still made, but I hear the quality isnt the same.

the Ultra wheel is only available in 3,5 or 4 (don't remember) and 7. Really nice off-road wheel!

That picture gives it too much justice. That wheel looks like Ass in person. They should only be put on sand rails, and maybe hose reals ;)

I like these wheels plenty! Real Starsky and Hutch looks! But the front wheels have to much positive offset. Might have to get a set of these, to many BRM cars here in Norway. Hmmmmm.... red car with a white stripe!!  ;D ;D ;)

ultra wheels are no longer made.
 they came in 3.5" centered offset and 7" with about 3" of back space
i am actually looking for a pair of the 3.5" if anyone has extras

Put those on your car, paint it orange and put a big "01" on the door, confederate flag on the roof and Boss Hog and Roscoe P. Coltrane will be all over your ass.  ;D

We had a General Lee bug in Norway just a couple of years ago. CanŽt remember the wheels though. IŽll see if i can find some pics.
