Seems WV are the only ones that can 100% verify that.

I would put money they're using the latest in rim hoops & would imagine they're doing the same as far as the centers are concerned. I've seen more than 1 disc brake equipped Chevy 4x4 w/WV 'car ralleys' which follows my trend of thought since disc brake spec'd wheels will also fit drum brake equipped trucks.

It does not make sense to utilize pre-71 6x5.5 drum brake center dimensions when disc brakes are so common (thus limiting the application variety). If you build wheels using disc spec'd centers, you only need to stock 1 type of center vs 2 (disc 6-lug center & non-disc 6-lug center).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
