Features Rare Wheels - show us what you've got!

I looked at most of the posts and didn't see any of these Ansen Automotive Engineering K.O. 6x15s

 

Left:

Magnesium 10 x 16 american racing deep dish in 5 x 5.5 bolt pattern with 2 7/8 backspace

*******************************************************************
RIGHT:
Magnesium 9.50 x 15 halibrand small 4 hole square window in factory 8 lug with 3.25 backspace.

 

I got these old 20" Mopar high clearance wheels on a car I traded for. They are kinda neat, but don't really fit the '60s vibe of the car. They look like they should be on the salt.

 

Rare for a reason.

 

we found a set of these pilled in my friends dads garage when he passed away. not sure exactly who made them since they are 6 spoke but they are mag wheels.

 

^^^^Look like old 1960s Lotus Formula 1 racing wheels.^^^^

 

the story that was told to me by his son was that his dad was a machinist that usto do all of these prototype parts for indy and sprint cars and these were brought into the shop and never picked up. they are a knock off style wheel but no maker or any idea what they were for.

Chaparrals ran a nearly identical wheel but in a five spoke instead of six - otherwise they look virtually the same.

Yea, got a full set of these myself...ET wheels not sure of the style name...if anyone knows, let me know!

 

Set of 14 X 6 small Chevy bolt pattern Fenton's on my teardrop camper.

 

15x4.5 and 15x8's made by Fish Enterprises.

 

Getting tired of the magnesium Shakey??

 

some of mine

 

These wheels are about as close as you can get to the real thing

 

Fish, first set in this area!

 

Can any one ID these American rims, 14x7?? I just bought them and trying to figure out the series....

 

American Racing T-70

 

Damn....those Astro slots are nice.....the dude across the street bought some in 64, put him on his 62 Impala...took em' off of the car only a couple of years back.

 

Those look like the ones I posted in #201, now cleaned up and on my avatar car. I don't know for sure what ET called them, but they should have a "X" cast in the back. I guess it's Roman numeral 10.

 

Inherited from my Dad, Motor Wheel Spyder Mags

 

Restored Motor Wheel Spyders, and signed by the designer, then Vp Of the company.

 

Who restored them? (Looking for someone to do mine)

 

I did.
This link explains the procedure very nicely.
You can do it!

Anybody seen a set of Cragar Screamers?

 

just got these 5 on 5

 

If rare means very few seen, these may qualify. American "Rodmasters". Have these on one off-topic car, and had a pair on my flatbottom's trailer. Decent looking Hal splash that was marketed badly by American.

 

Not too rare, but you don't see them all that much now days, Cragar Supertricks...

 

WoW, TY, So in reading they require special lug nuts?

(Dad has the 4 wheels, 7 cones, not sure about lugs)

A complete set of Superior Superdrag 1 wheels NOS

 

Yes and No.
If you don't open up the size of the hole, then yes it requires the very rare and expensive motor wheel nuts.
But I have the correct reamer to open the holes for use with the readily available short shank lug nuts. takes about 4 minutes per wheel to do...its that easy. I can loan it out with a deposit.
