: Strength of this wheel?

I trial fit a 17" wheel this weekend on my '68. I was originally going to go with a 15", but came across these wheels pretty resonably and the seller let me trial fit them on my car to see what they look like. These are Billet Specialties wheels, but they are about 11 years old. I am a bit concerned about the "multi-fit" lug pattern. Should I be concerned about the strength? I plan to have a 450 hp/tq 406 mated to my muncie, and going to run a 275 street tire.

Here is a pic of the "multi-fit" lug pattern.

the multiple lug patterns is really common in aftermarket wheels that have caps like those do, I wouldn't worry about it

by the way, nice car

Looks like an Eagle Alloy brand wheel. I was looking at them a few years back.

Should be fine.
