Default 3 Piece Rims Question

I have some Drag Racing Rims (Dont know the MFG off hand) but they are a quality three piece rims (two rim halves and spacer in between for the lugs sort of like a draglite or Prostar) that are bolted together.

What I need to know is what sort of torque is used when bolting the rim halves together?

Are they thru-bolt or blind? Thru-bolt is usually between 25-35ftlbs depending on fastener size. Blind bolts are usually lower like 15-25ftlbs

They are a thru bolt design. I will post a photo when I get the chance. I went by my shop today and the spacer has a part number Cragar 29108. The front rim halves look identical and one set has DR-2279 and the other DR-2379. Why the difference in numbers I dont know. At first, I was thinking it was for different sizes but they are all identical so I dont know.

I tried googling the numbers and nothing ever came up.

I guess the lawyers wouldnt let them put their name on the rims, lol! They are a stout yet light set of rims but each rim half must say: For Drag Racing Only 12 times per rim half on the inside, lol!

They are for SURE Cragar Super Tricks! I have a set of 15x3.5" and 15x12" that are polished. These are for sure the Racing Version as well from what I have found since I read the suggestion that the were Super Tricks!

Thanks for your help!

Joe
