    Hello:

    Regarding the vintage Magnesium wheels:

    AR 15x4 Lemans
    AR 15x4 Torque Thrust
    Halibrand 15 x 4.5 slotted Spint

    Are the above mentioned wheels compatible with a Chevy/Ford 60's factory disc brake configuration?

    Is it safe to say the Hurst Airheart aftermarket disc brake systems will be compatible and work with the above mentioned Magnesium front skinny wheels?

    Why would AR offer the Lemans magnesium wheel in only two sizes 15x4 and 15x6 of which seem front wheel sizes? Stength issue or whats going on?

    Thank You.

    i've run my mag fronts (big and small window halibrands & americans)with later style metric calipers and 73-77 intermediate calipers...no issues...the lemans were "supposedly" made for early 60's corvette's...thats why the 6" for the rears... i personally seen one with them and they fit it like a glove. brandon:D
