12 spoke HALIBRANDS...W.T.F...Am I NUTS......

Alright, I have an add looking for halibrand spindle mounts.

I have some newb seller...insisting these are HALIBRANDS....

They frickin say AMERICAN RACING on the spoke at 8 oclock....and

SAN FRANCISCO on the spoke at 4 oclock....

American racing was from san francisco....am I correct.

have I lost it this time....or is this dude NUTS.

I can't believe I am having to post this.

WHITEY

 

people know what they know.. I usually leave it that. especially if they can't read.

 

So are you going to buy them or not?

 

I'm honestly think scam.

or the dude dosent actually have the wheels and is taking some other dudes word for it.

I'm all worked up now...

 

oh thats good....327-365hp....hahaha

 

Did Halibrand ever make a 12 spoke spindle mount? I have personally never seen or heard of them and I'm 75 yrs old and sold many set of Halibrand in my days if retailing
from a speed shop.

 

Still badass, just dont pay halibrand price.

 

These are Halibrands...photo-1969

 

Thats what I'm saying....I dont think halibrand did...

But I know if they SAY american racing they aint no stinking halibrands

Dude... I'm not buying this guys stuff....but they are sweet....

 

I've had about 12-14 sets and i have never seen a set of Halibrand 12 spokes

 

Ahh....so there is merit to the confusion....

but still...

I'm not the brightest dude around...but I dont think halibrand would have wrote american rancing on there wheels....hahaha

 

buy them

 

Why are you worried about it? He has a 'no hassle return policy'. LOL!

 

ahahahah....

O.K....

you work for this guy MAZOOMA1...(little smiley face)

 

I just did a Google Images search on Halibrand 12 spoke. Many photos came up, but this company ad should put all this to rest.
The search tool less than 30 seconds.

 

hey arnt you the guy that thought 32 rears were spring over......

just screwin with ya.....hahaha.

But those I pictured are not.

 

Mr Mazooma1..thanks for the pics..What size were they? I put Halibrands on the rear of my "T" back in 1960 but had to order Americans for the front as Halibrand did not offer them then.Are you real sure those are Halibrands? If so, I just learned something new..Thanks

 

"no hassle return policy"....dude I didnt see that.

That is fucking hilarious.....your the man for noticing that.

that A of yours is sweet.

 

Whitey, where is he, can go have a look at 'em?If the price is right and if you deal face to face.They do look NICE thought!
Now you're goin' to tell me he is in Hawaii!

Nick.

 

I just found a set too--they say American and are 18" and are magnesium Im sure--have some old weird tires (Cheng shin??) on them from an old anglia gasser

 

Yo...MR. RICH VENZA.

read that bottom of the GARLITS picture.

says AMERICAN RACING WHEELS.

your two for two buddy

 

Pretty sure my memory is right. Almost 40 years ago, though.
This is how I bought the car ($15) in '65. Bob Hines put a Mopar/Torqueflite in it...and the wheels, of course. I sure remember them as Halibrands.



Whether they are Halibrands or Americans, whats the difference...both good names...

 

Whats the difference....your funny...

I not going to sit here and have some one tell me that wheels that clearly say

AMERICAN RACING are HALIBRANDS.

And I'm definitely not goona send this guys a dime.

 

I used to work for American and was the drag racing wheel manager.
They are American 12 spokes, American made wheels out of their SF plant back then.
Halibrand didn't make 12 spokes that I can ever remember.

 

Both Halibrand and American are quality products. There seems to be some confusion about that fact.

 

I dont disagree at all....In fact I would love to own those 12 spoke Americans.

Just not buying from some one who insists they are what they are not....that lead me to be suspicious....I mean if you cant read the writing on your own wheels.

Whos to say those wheels are in front of you....get my drift.

possibily sending pics of wheels that you dont own....

 

Are these the ones?

I've had several pair. I think they're worth about half that.
And they are Americans, not Halibrand.

 

Ya same guy shakey...

what gives...you know him...I dont mean to bad mouth someone but c,mon.

 

Its pretty hard to argue with a wheel thats stamped "American"...pretty much says it all.

By the way, I've done some memory/soul searching and "12 spoke Americans" rings a bell where "12 spoke Halibrands doesn't..the more I think about it. I was probably wrong. Those wheels on the Anglia must have been Americans. (I know the rears were Halibrands, so that may be my confusion) I learn something everyday.

 

No, I dont know who he is, but he's been spamming Craigslist in my neck of the woods with his wheels. If you want 12 spokes, you can do way better than that. I've sold em here on the HAMB for $800. Not many guys willing to go without front brakes.
