Projects Anyone Buy ET Wheels from Team III?

Hello folks....question for you. I am wanting to order some ET Sebring wheels for the '34 Ford High Boy we are building. To get a few questions answered, I tried all day today (Monday) to reach someone at Team III in California who sells them, and got no answer....shop phone number message box is "full" (no answer) and on the listed cell number I left a message and text and got no answer or response. Am I missing something? Their website looks to be updated. Thanks for any feedback or input. Ed in Knoxville.

 

Ed, Rich here in Oakdale I grew up in Hayward a few miles from Team 3, I run ET 2’s and 3’s. Last thing I bought was Hoosier from them in 16”dia. They may be closed on Monday I’ll give them a call tomorrow and see if they pick up. Got to stick together

Thanks Rich.....I just got a reply from the text saying that their cell phone was not at the shop today (Monday) and we can talk tomorrow (Tuesday). We'll see how it goes. If anyone out there is running the Sebring wheels, would love to hear feedback or see pics. I am planning 16" (5" wide in front and 6" in rear), lug in Ford pattern with the decorative knock off spinners. Planning to use Diamond Back Auburn Deluxe "bias look" blackwall radials.

 

I put a set on a '57 vette Sebring clone for my customer. Sorry no pictures. The transaction with Team 3 was satisfactory. That was about 3 years ago.

 

I like the Sebring Wheels also, just not my era. Graduated HS in ‘67, five spokes and Halibrands. These are the 31x12.5R 16’s on Eric Vaugh widened ET3’s 12” now

 

Understand, Team III is basically a one man show

 

And a nice lady in the office last time I was there. Just before Fathersday Swap meet 2019. They were loading their truck when I picked up some tires.

 

Huh. I had assumed they were a III man show.

 

You’d be right he has a machinist too and one of the III is a woman

 

I purchased their Sebring wheels for my car last summer. Happy with the wheels and Team 3 overall. It was not clear on the order form at the time, the decorative spinners are available in angled and flat options. I wanted two of each but got 4 angled and had to return two for the flat option. Flat looks better on the narrower front wheels.
As others said they are a small family business and it took me a week or so to get in touch but they delivered as promised. Took about 3 week from order for mine to ship.
