Features Rare Wheels - show us what you've got!

Rare because no one else runs them!

 

I still have a pair of American Racing (magnesium) LeMans series Torq Thrusts as well ... we
ran them on the front of the coupe throughout the 60s, 70s, & early 80s:

all polished up @ the '73 GNRS​

 

Some of the rarest wheels i have heard of personally are off of a Pontiac Acadian. This is the Canadian version of the Chevy Nova with some GTO and Ford thrown in there a little. My dad was buying a 1967 Acadian and it had rallyII's on it and he asked where the original wheels were and the guy said he left them at the tire shop to be junked. The guy checked back to see if the shop still had them and these ONE YEAR ONE CAR wheels and hub caps were tossed into the dumpster. one of the biggest shames of rare cars i have personally dealt with in a while

 

Here's a set of ET's I scored today. 15x6 5-4 3/4

 

Here are some of the wheels I have. (15) of the 6 lug chevy 18" wheel. (5) 5 lug ford 18" milk truck wheels. (5) 18" dodge accessory wheels. (see black wheels). (7) 20" dodge accessory wheels. (4) 18" wide 5's. (no pictures). 18" halibrands too.

 

none of my own, but neat to look at all that you lucky fellers have

 

I seen this post for rare wheels. I have a single wheel and was curios if anybody has a match or has seen one in the past. Any help would be appreciated.

 

We all just saw it on ebay. Very unique for sure.

 

I know they aren't considered that rare in the US, but over here they are super hard to find. Here's my pair, 15 x 4.5" American racing 12 spokes. The nice thing about them is that one of the wheels has scratched into the inner tube valley "PRODUCT OF TOM DOCKTER". I like to think it was one of the blokes who worked in the foundry...

 

They were ahead of their time..... I see the general " Yuk " concept on the road all the time today.

 

just picked up four 20" dodge/plymouth accessory wheels...would love to come up with two of the 18 inch ones....

 

I have no idea as to how rare this is, but it looks like a hardcore way to cool heavily used brakes.

 

Hurst Wheels I cleaned for a customer.

 

Oh and does anybody know where I can snag a set of these? 1933 Willys Arillery Wheels. Saw one on Ebay, but I want a full set.

The front wheels on my friends 35 Willys sedan, in 1965 were stock willys wheels that we had chromed.

 

wheel doesn't seem to be that rare 17x5 chevy six lug but the caps are have two cant find two more. They are brand new caps.

 

interested in trading two of your 18" dodge accessory wheels for two of my 20" dodge accessory wheels ??

 

Ever seen a set of these? Thanks to whoever took this pic at the drags..

 

Ok well I got you guys all beat!! i got a full set of astros from Stockton wheel! Thats right all 4. Seriously though really cool stuff guys!

 

Packards had a hexagon logo on all center caps 20's thru 50's.

 

Took this pic at Donut-derelicts last month. They are not the same, but have similar fins. I am guessing they are both Halibrands?

 

SimonSez;

I Spoke with the guy 3 years ago at the donuts derelict, if I remember he said that they was Bonneville Halibrand wheels.

By the way he has the best roadster I ever seen, the flathead was pure art...

Will try to dig few pictures....

 

FYI.....................rare wheels from Shadow DN3 F1 car, early 70's.
Left pic is Front @ 13" x 11" and other 2 are rear 13 x 17 or 18"..........yes 18" WIDE.

 

These are on my 40 Chevy. Still have not ID'd them positivly. They are knock off type. The story I was told by the previous owner was that 3 sets of these were made as prototypes. One set was destroyed somehow and two still exist. I dunno, but if anyone out there has seen these before let me know. I've never seen another set like them

 

I believe those are Ansen Astros, made for midyear vettes for road racing. There was a set on fleabay last week. Are those 15 x 6? How does the adapter effect offset?

 

I found out they're for a '32 Essex

 

...20" Plymouth accessory high-clearance wheels...solid, no windows :

 

I have 9 of these beauties..... 16X4 one piece aluminum.
Haven't found the perfect application for them yet..... maybe a narrow 27T lakes roadster???????

 

Mine aren't that rare but you don't see many.
15X6 5 on 5-1/2 pattern, aluminum center (no chrome) Cragar SS.
Bought them at the Portland swap meet this year, $50 a pair

 

My friend bought a wrecking yard 7 years ago and there was a pair of these in the old tire pile. The problem is there's no center hole, so putting it on a tire machine is out.
