Classic 5 spoke wheels

Radir used to make them and now the only ones I can find are Team III.
I'm looking for the aluminum round spokes without the curve like the TT2's.

I need 15x10's that can have a custom back space and are hub centric.
These are for a daily driver and I don't want the steel Supremes. Anybody know of other manufacturer's?

 

The wheels on the front of my old F-100 were ET (old), 15 x 6 and had a real round face like Supremes. I'm sure ET made 15/10s of similar design....... Sorry to say, but I don't know of any "nostalgic" re-pops being offered, may have to keep scanning the swap meets and eLay.

No custom offset though

 

Not crazy about the way the spoke meets the rim but thanks...


Right now, one of my options is the AR 200s. They can do custom offsets and any bolt pattern. I'd prefer a different spoke though..

 

though not in a 15x10 ...the t70s look pretty cool...brandon

 

hey shakey, ran in to a pair of 10 inch magnesium daisy spokes? ever heard of them??

 

Yeah, or the T71R is cool looking. But it's a one piece wheel and no custom offsets...

 

I've seen the magnesium daisy's in a 2 piece bolt together 16x10. Pretty cool.

 

How about the American Racing TTO, Saw a set week ago or so...did a double take...looked like an aluminum Supreme.

 

Mr. Shakey. try this place.

They had some neat stuff.

 

Jim, I've read several different times where Radir claims they are bringing those wheels you are talking about back into production. perhaps give 'em a jingle and see what the scoop is on them. I tried to order some 15x10 slicks from them but they said +6week wait as they are "trying to figure up a new price for them" .
good luck
Tim

 

Thanks guys, the TTO and the wheels from Vintage Wheel Works both have the look but are not offered in 15x10.... dang

 

Tim,
I think I emailed the Radir guys a while back. If I remember correctly, they may bring the round spoke back but the biggest will only be a 15x8.

 

Can you get them in a 15 x bigger than 10 and have them cut down to the offset you need?

 

The AR TTO 15x8.5 was wanting 10" myself but comprimised.

 

Too much of a hassle. I'm looking for an easier solution.

 

Look up " Coys " wheel and tire.. they make many sizes and probably do custom work. They have a bunch of wheels on Ebay and have a shop close by here in Denver.

 

What didn't you like about the Team III's?

 

i have a pair of polished 15x10 radir bullet spokes never mounted 5x4.5 bc will check back spacing if your interested..

 

THE PRICE!!

But I guess you get what you pay for. All their wheels are made to order, any bolt pattern and custom offsets.

Just looking for a cheaper alternative. For what I want, a set of 4 wheels from Team III would cost over $1500.

 

Thanks but need a 5x5 BC.

 

True, but Scott makes a lot of great styles. I've been thrilled with the "look" of everything i've bought from him

 

Not sure who Scott is. I corresponded via email and later by phone with an Asian woman named Jin. Nice enough and she knew wheels.

 

Scott's the owner, and master machinist. Jin's his wife

 

their wheels are AWESOME

i would love a set for my coupe (hopefully roadster one day), but it would be about $1200 for what i want, and thats for cast look... im thinkin i should get those new american racings and redrill my front brakes for chevy pattern.. that way i can do it for about $650 for all 4 wheels and then $100 to drill the front out.. i think, ahhaha..

shit, those ET's are AWESOME though

 

Wheels have such a huge impact on a car's look, that it may be worth the extra dough. I've bitten the bullet before, and after a couple days of forgetting the cost, I was really happy I stepped up. Color, stance, and wheels are the majority of the "look". My 2 cents. Maybe Ryan can solicit Team III for a HAMB deal/Alliance Vendor? Ryan, tell him Groucho sent ya. I think Scott still likes me a little. If he's never heard of the HAMB, let me know, and I'll tell him what a huge, traditional community it is.

 

u are totally right groucho...

i just dont know if i want polished,. then if i spend all the cash to get those cast color its like i might as well get the americans pretty much.. that was a popular wheel way back when as well, so i dont feel bad

i wish they made the new square spoke style americans in other bolt patterns or narrow

 

If you're talking about the "newer" American 5-spokes, I think the spokes are way to thin and look like pickets on a fence. I really think they "missed" on reintroducing their own wheel. If that's the wheel I'm thinking of, they don't appeal to me at all. I'm not crumbing on American, but that wheel looks terrible to me. I had em on the front of a 57 Chevy I bought, and couldn't help but think there was something "off" about em every time I looked at em

 

i think the original style ones look fine, but the TT2s look HORRIBLe..

maybe you are talkin about those.. idk

the newer ones ive seen in person look good, not as niec as the ET's, but hey, im poor! hahaha.. seriously though, i wont be lookin into wheels til after i get a roadster body and nice paint on everything, so by then, maybe i can make it happen! i love those ET's!

back to the original post now that we stole it away!

 

This statement is 100% spot on..When the time is right i'd like to buy from Team III as well for my future 32. I figured the rolling stock will be the most expensive sole item's i buy for the car, but also a huge part in making it look the way i'd like.
Pretty much the same wheel's your looking for too.. It's hard to beat the quality and look's of what they offer even with the cost involved..
