Anyone know of a company that makes early Ford style 18 inch steelies other than Wheel Vintiques? I'm looking for a pair of 18X6 with a 5 on 5.5 BP wheels that take early Ford 40's style hubcaps.
I e-mailed Steadfast and asked Henry about the wheels on the rear of his roadster which sure look like 18's and never got a reply.
Steadfast had some 18's for sale a while ago on his Instagram account. He buys a truckload from the manufacturer and passes the savings on. https://www.instagram.com/steadfastmfg/ Contact @laurelou55 or @steadfastmfg or call 419-632-5702 .
You're not the only one. I have emailed him before asking about something he had for sale and he never replied.
Saw the 18 inch wheels on Steadfast's Instagram. I still live in the dark ages. 395.00 per wheel kinda took my breath away. If your gonna play you gotta be a Grizz.
Finally made contact with Steadfast and they apologized because they are really busy. Talked to Laura and she was very nice. They had the wheels in stock so thanks for the replies my problem is solved.
Rally America did mine. They do a nice job, however, I was told 6-8 weeks. Took 17 weeks! Very frustrating! Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
It is very frustrating....but we all need to remember that small vendors we are dealing with are fellow human beings....and they are no different than the rest of us when it comes to accurately estimating how long it will take to do a job...... Ray
Ended up getting my 18 & 16 inch trim rings from Steadfast plus the 18 inch rims. Found matching 16X4.5 fronts at Wheel Smith. Once I got going with Steadfast the deal went smoothly. Just like I do with my business I imagine they get lots of questions also and are very busy.
Got my 18 inch early Ford steelies from Steadfast today along with the 16 & 18 inch trim rings. Really nice parts. Should have my matching fronts from Wheel Smith Wed along with the hubcaps then onto the powder coaters.
