  1. Wow - what is that off of? What kind of hub is that? Can you get tires for it?

    Inquiring minds want to know...Whats a set of 4 worth?
    ford 5 on 4.5 pattern.
    any special off sets?
    how do I to determine fit up and clearance issues?
    any cross section of the wheel with measurements?
    I know these would be special order, so no return without cost, or no return at all?..sorry so many questions , but I would need to know before plunking down any green wrinkly paper:cool:

    Car stuff is a little bit harder but it close to the same concept. Bike stuff is a little easier to true because the rims are thin material and you can just bend the rim to true it.

    That wheel is off a J or SJ Duesenberg. It was made by a company called "Buffalo Wire Wheel" and they numbered their different hub designs. That is a #6. You can get tires from coker, but the harder part is finding a shop to mount them.

    They're going to start at $575ea for a 16" bare wheel
    We can move the offset around a little bit, but its Lip Lace so you can't really do that much with it.
    Give me a call I'll I'll explain out to take the measurements.
    We'll make sure they fit the car before we send them

    These black wheels are actually for a buick modified, a '28 I believe

    I can use any hub you want.
