Are you talking about the knobs for a small hubcap or the small bumps along the edge for full wheel covers? If you mean full covers, the 49-51...
Lay a straight edge across the back of the bolt pattern. Is the center significantly lower? The marks on the back make me think of Ford mechanical...
They're Motor Wheel wire wheels. They were an aftermarket wheel that was made in many different sizes and bolt patterns for many different cars....
The '36 wheels had round head rivets holding the hubcap clip that protrude on the back of the wheel, the '37-'39 wheels have a flush head, but I...
30-31 Chevy if it's 19", 32 Chevy if it's 18", 33 Pontiac if it's 17". Looks like a 17"
Looks like a 56, they had a very weird 15x6 wheel that was shaped so it would fit. You can use really deep aftermarket wheels with them but I...
Like every steel wheel, these wheels have specific contact points and are supposed to only contact on that inner and outer ring, no spacer is...
This is all correct, 16" Chevy wheels of the same era have the same ID and can be found in 4", 4.5" and 5" wide. Also some 8 lug Ford truck wheels...
The closest you can find in 15" would be 12.260", the only 12" I know of is 14" General wheels.
They look like 33 Buick 60, 80, and 90 series. What's the hubcap size? 7 1/8"?
The normal size for 14" centers is 12.260". You should be able to find a 15" rim with a 12.260" ID pretty easily. 12" ID was only used on a few...
Have you checked with them mounted by the lugs nuts or just on a tire balancer?
It's bent, this piece is supposed to be 90 degrees.
The ring that holds those on gets bent inward easily and then makes them pretty much impossible to put on. You can try bending it back.
I would probably get most of the 15" and larger diameter with 5 lugs, generally stay away from 13" and 14" and 4 lug if you're going for the best...
These are called "Sharp" wire wheels and they were made by my dad in the mid-80's after he sold McLean. He designed this hub purposely to be able...
I recently acquired some machinery and have been thinking about making them again, give me a call at 559-322-2128
Held in place by the studs? -yes, but he's probably referring to the fact that the weight of the car isn't held up by the studs or hub, but rather...
39 Lincoln Centers will fit those rims but they're pretty hard to find. The other option is finding a 16.3.5" that has a deeper drop center which...
There are wheels for Internationals made by Kelsey-Hayes. Internationals have bolt patterns that look like that. Coincidentally, they have a 5.75"...
Hey, I've done this a few times! If you try to do it at home I would really recommend trying to set it up on something that you can spin it on...
Nice find, the 4.5" wide ones are pretty rare.
You'd probably be better off to concentrate on the frontspacing of the wheel for comparison purposes. This 10" wheel would have a frontspacing of...
Yes, for something that wide I'd look around the 80s 8 lug trucks.
There aren't any new rims available that are the right size, they either have to be cut down to fit or you have to use another original rim. Ford...
I've seen a few of these wheels in my area, they aren't too rare but are easy to miss because they look like ford wires. What I've heard is that...
It's a model A wheel with the nose cut off, the top of the hub of another wheel welded on, and put into a smaller rim.
36 Buick
Very, very very rare.
Quick question, Maybe I'm missing something and I'm way off here but why not just machine them out of original drums (like in the first picture, I...
