    If so what brand are they? How much? And where did you buy them?
    They are on ebay with no brand name. Thinking about these on my wagon.

    thanks

    Mystejic I think is a defunct J.A. Pan wheel company that put out some decent knockoffs of classic AMERICAN wheels Buddy of mine has some JAP made 5 spokes that look identical to mid 70's E.T.'s
    Might be Wrong but maybe not
     

  5. Antibilly bought some of them (or knock-offs) for this '62 before Shiftymutt got it.

    They're Chinese-made copies of the wheels that Dave Mehelich used to make, which were like a Halibrand Sprint with bigger windows. Dave Mehelich is a neat guy.

    At one time a few years ago, we had the last set of Dave's wheels in the shop. Customer paid $4900, but the knock off were there too. Boxes were un opened, wouldn't let us look.........OLDBEET

    I bought a set at Summit racing, on the scratch and dent table for $400. The sales tag said $900 for a new set. No name on mine, and no made in country. Two days later I was at a swapmeet and found a dealer selling them for $400 a set. Oh well..
     
  19. I put the Bellflowers on it...I also repainted the white and fixed the bodwork (not shown in the pictures).

    Who do you get them from. I have done searches and can't find these anywhere. All I can find is the Cruze wheel for like 250. I need 15x7 4bs 4 3/4. Like 4.5s for the front. I emailed two dealers on ebay. One can get the 4.5s one can get the 7s.:confused: Like to get them from same place.

    I looked at the American Hopster for my trailer, but it didn't offer the offset I needed, plus the face is bowed out. What I found (and wound up buying) are American Rodmasters. They don't advertise them, and unless you're looking for them, you probably wouldn't find them. Looks more Halibrand than Mehelich (wider spoke). Decent wheel at a good price. (no they're not mounted, they go on the other boat trailer)

    The standard cap is just a chromed plastic push in tapered cap. Like the old US Indy's (but without the ears) I'll take a pic tonight, but I cut the end off to clear the Bearing Buddy's on my trailer. You'll still get the idea.
    They also have fake knockoffs available for big $$$

    I've got tons of 14x6 5x4.75 patterned ones on the shelf cheap. Need the warehouse space. What would anybody give for 100 of them, or any smaller quantity. Seriously I need to move these. Sorry to hijack the thread.
