Two new products, well actually old products brought back from the 60s. First is the original "Shannon Cone". First made by Richard Esajian of Esajian Enterprises. We're making them with his graces and he is making the little sticker that goes on the backside of the cone just like the originals had.This is the bolt on type and fit 49-53 Chevy wheels with the stock clips taken off, 54-up Chevy OEM type wheels (14" and 15"), Chevy 6 lug outside knob wheels, And 4.5" and 4.75" bolt pattern aftermarket wheels. These are bolt on so you'll have to put three little holes in the bumps between the lug nuts on your wheels. Second is the original "Smoothie" wheel. Availabe only in 5 on 4.75 bolt pattern, it is a 49-53 Chevy center cut down and put into a reversed 14" Plymoth outer. These were either made by Appliance Plating or Western Wheel. These wheel are the definition of "Smoothie" Anyone have any questions? Jimmy McLean Rally America
Yeah, I gotta question. What is the freakin deal with nobody hookin up the 5x5 bolt pattern guys? No, I don't want to switch, I want to run my stock 45fin aluminum drums on the Byooik, kthxbai. OK I done ranting.

Not enough of you guys. But you guys should feel special, you're the only ones who can run Buick wires Jimmy
why doesn't anyone build the buick wire in a chevy pattern... I am sure there are a bunch of folks who would run them... (can it be that hard to drill the hub slighlty different or make it a uni-lug?
Are these bolt on Shannon cones still available ? I am restoring the sectioned 40 ford les popo and I think bolt on cones are what it had . But the new ones look deeper? What do you guys think ? Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
