i was woundering if any one knew of the old style american racing 15 x 4 round spoke 5 spokes being remade in aluminum. i have know vintageeng.com is making repro magnesium , but i have heard of rumes of someone remaking the 15x4 5 spokes in aluminum. can any one conferm this or provide any info ie web site , phone number. any info would held out. thanks
At their websight American racing torque thrusts they only come in 4 and half width . I was researching these myself . Nice rims and not that expensive
These might be something you are interested in. http://www.vintagewheelworks.com/products/wheels/v45/15x4 I was thinking of getting a pair myself. The price is pretty decent. i have never seen them in person though, but i would assume they are pretty nice. let me know how you make out. I have been looking for a pair of these for a while too and I'm thinking about buying some too. -Jeff
I've heard the same rumors,I think Team 3 is the company that's tool up for the "Correct" style early 5 spokes.
what i am talking about are the very round spoke rims like on all the old gassers . i could not find a photo of them on team 3 web site. i hope some one knows if them are going to tool up and make the old style in aluminum.
Yeah I know the ones your talking about I have 2 pair of Magnesium ones.They are tooling up to make them,that means they are not making them yet.
i am looking for a set of 15 x 4 with 5 on 5 1/2 bolt pattern .i would take magnesiums wheel but the price has gone throught the roof. i woull have to settle for the repops i guess
I wished they'd get their ass' in gear on them I know a few guys looking. I'd buy a couple pairs myself.A guy wouldn't feel to bad about running repops on the street.
Still nothing but rumors and innuendos. I would love to be proven wrong, believe me. I know of no "spot on" skinny Americans being sold yet. Nice seeing you at E Town Louie. D.
thanks Deron,thats what I figured, i like my crusty originals better anyway. Great to see you last week,Louie
I don't wanna see 15 X 4 American 5-spokes that look proper in aluminum! My real Magnesium 5-spoke Americans are one of my most prized possessions and I don't want to see them reproduced in aluminum and be everywhere.
