Hot Rods Speedway chrome 40 wheels

Anyone running these 15” chrome speedway wheels. Just curious about the quality of the chrome. Any pics?

 

Wax them and keep covered in a garage and they will be OK. It’s the bead lip that takes a shit if you don’t keep them clean and a good paste wax no matter whose the are..

 

I think @Tim might have put some on his 46?

 

The ones I saw from Speedway that my buddy bought about 7 years ago didn't have the vents. So I got the Wheel Vintiques Series 64..

The wheel in the photo look like a Ford..

 

I have a pair for the front of my 46. Waiting on new tires before they go on the car though.

 

Yup I have the wheel smith 16” fords that speedway sells. Real real nice

 

Glad you asked. Been wondering this myself.

 

No issues with the chrome or anything? They look good on your car. I was looking at some 15x5 and 15x8’s for an early 60’s t bucket build

 

Nope nada. Had them for a couple years zero issues

 

Post some pictures.

 

Got a set for a customer's car that I built, turned out nice to Chrome looks good

 

Do you still have to use the wheelsmith hubcaps because the nubs are small on the wheels?

 

yes.

technically a stock cap will go on but I very nearly damaged the chrome trying to get it off. Waaaaaaaaaaaaay tighter than a stock cap on a stock wheel. Buy the wheel smith caps

 

I use the stock Ford caps on the Roadster

 

Wheelsmith caps fit Wheelsmith wheels. I wrote inside mine “if your stealing these for your Ford wheel. Please put it back on because it won’t fit.”

 

Another choice, cool! I'm eyeing the chrome Vintiques. Never dealt with Speedway. Beware of male dogs!!! They'll kill the chrome in a New York second

Tom cats...

 

That looks good!

 

What part of lousiana are you from?

 

100 miles NW of you on the Red. Send me a PM, talk about Capital Dragway. Looking at your build thread, guy has some stuff up here you may be interested in.
