Official Metal Flake Steering Wheel Pic and ID Thread...

Slammed, What do you get for a good, dark red one? Im looking for a 15" slotted one for my Bonneville.

 

Sorry, the 15 reds are all gone now. You missed a pair of slotted, finger grip wheels. Only greens and blue, and a couple of aged 15's left.

 

Dammit. Story of my life...

 

Any nice white 15" slotted wheels out there?

 

Anyone know what these are like from Kelly's http://www.ebay.com/itm/Blue-Metalf...Parts_Accessories&hash=item519e2406ee&vxp=mtr ?

They look pretty good and do the small sizes with holes unlike Moon which are just slotted... and they'll post to the UK. Just wondered if anyone knew what they we're like before I parted with $$. Cheers.

 

Does anyone make a yellow one would love one for my race car.... ?

 

Mine in my 66'!

 

Not Metalflake, but still a cool old Ansen I picked up this weekend at a swap meet in Los Lunas, NM.

 

sorry a little OT, panelrat how well did you do at the swapmeet?

 

wow this thread came to a screeching hault !!

 

This pile goes to eleven! And there is 10 more. All will be for sale soon.

 

cool, I'll need a dark green one for my A!

 

I need a 15 " black one for the 55 chevy I just bought ...Let me know if you have one for sale ...please ....Larry

 

Will a 14 1/2" do?

 

The whole stack of 13 wheels for sale.

 

^^^^^^Sold and shipped!^^^

 

Does anybody know why the three bolts won't sit flush? I installed my mooneyes steering wheel earlier tonight and from reading the instructions I did it right.i just aint to crazy about those 3 bolts not sitting flush against the wheel.

 

Um, horn kit?

 

Got that installed can't be it...? Even with that installed there is still about a 1/4 inch gap of space from the head of the bolt to the spacer that the bolts screw into...

 

picture..............

 

I will take some and post them up over the weekend...

 

Anyone know where I can find a black metal flake wheel in about 15" please? Any help welcome. Thanks!

 

The bolts stick up a little because the tapered seat 1/4'' down is already snug to the wheel. The extra space above it is for the included horn kit. I just put a white one in my Bonneville last week. Only took Mooneyes 5 months to ship it to me. Yay.

If your not using a horn for some reason, I think you'll just have to find some shorter bolts that are threaded all the way down.

 

Anything metalflake is great!

 

Got this wheel and hub for my A pickup. It looks like a Superior 500 but there are no markings. There is a Hellings & Stellings decal on the wheel but I wasn't aware they made wheels so I figured someone just stuck it on there. It's not metal flake, just black plastic, 13 1/2" diameter, 4 holes.

It's the hub and tin cover that goes over the column that I've never seen. Its not home made either, fits the hub perfect and goes right over my F1 column tube. It was an ebay score, $22.50, had no info about it. Anyone ever seen one like this?

Saw this wheel on Ebay. Never seen one with 2 spokes.. Can anyone ID it?

 

Sure looks like a Covico 2 spoke to me. Rare ass wheel, I've only seen 2or3 in the last 40 years. Look at 1st Grumpy's post (#61) in the Ansen vs Covico thread to confirm it. Not in real great shape, pretty neat though.

 

They look pretty similar but the flake wheel has some curvy spokes. The covico's spoke are straight as a board. Interesting

 

I see what you mean, that is a curvy dish. Hard to say, iv'e never seen one quite like it. Pretty unique piece. Edit: found my picture, it’s a Covico

 

I came here to see if I could find out more about a wheel I just purchased for my wagon. The posts above say I have a rare one. Nice to know. I had never seen a two spoke wheel either and the color was odd enough to look right in my ride!
