    Just scored a pair of these 14" beauties for the front of my 48 Plymouth. Never seen them before... any guesses? Definitely 70s or earlier, these tires are three days older than dirt. Thanks!

  2. They look a lot like the old Fenton style mags you could get at Sears,Roebuck back in the late 60's. HRP

    1960's Either an original or a copy of Rader tri-rib. Rader later got with Mickey Thompson around 65 to make M/T Raders. There was also a clone by another company using the name Radar. Some of these brands came in single and tri ribs.

  5. I believe these just might be Radars or AKH knockoff's. HRP

    Many thanks! Once I get around to cleaning off the backs I'll look for markings.
     
  8. Those are a dead ringer for a wheel made by a speed equipment company in New Zealand in the 60's called Berry and Chung. I have just modified a 13 inch centre and having 4 cast up to make 4x 15 inch wheels. Took me a long time to find an original as they are becoming very scarce over here.
    Going to run a pair of 15 x 10's on the back of my Tudor and putting a pair on my Bucket as thats what it ran in the 60's.
    Do those wheels belong to you HRP??
