Chrome Reverse Picture Thread

Not to hijack, but your cad engine makes my mule jump.

 

Here's my 53 in the chrome wheel phase. I change it up depending on my mood for that cruise.

 

here is my chrome reverse made by wheel kid but i got them off hellonwheels. i have been converted to the chrome reverse crowd. oh and stephen fields i will call ya today.

 

I've always liked chrome wheels so I had to have them on my coupe.

 

BEAUTIFUL car!

 

Thanks Groucho!

My '58 Ford had chromed reversed wheels. They were on the car when I bought it in 1968. I only paid $200 for the car. It had a 292 with a 3-speed. I wound up installing a 427 low-riser and a 4-speed. Neat car till I exploded the flywheel while street racing late that same year. Yes, I did have a blow proof bellhousing and it saved my feet.

 

What about American Graffiti?

 

the rear were NOS that i found still in boxes that had a 1960 date on them, the fronts i scored at the swapmeet and had the hubs and drums re drilled to fit. man i wish i still had them they would fit on my current car! great thread!!

Now I know who bought these wheels from me at the 2010 Twin City Roadster Swap.
I bought them at the 2009 Roadster swap for the same reason as you. My Avatar is my 55 Ford Wagon running chrome reverse wheels. 15x6 in the rear and 14x6 in the front. I hope you find a use for them.

 

You knew they were going to a good home. I didn't think I would ever see them again after passing on them the first time around. I thought I might run into you here on the HAMB. You'll be the first to know once I get a Chevy II to bolt the wheels onto. Thanks for deciding to sell them. I kicked myself for not grabbing them the first time.

 

These were on my car when I got it. I then went right to WWW radials and painted rims. After seeing this thread I might have go back to the Chromies.

 

Ok Thanks will do a search for that bad lil mofo.

 

lawnmower too?????? holyf@ck...you da man.

 

15X10 chrome reverse on rear.

 

These are the most beautiful set of wheels in the world, and that photo shows them off pefectly.


I have seen mention of a feature in a magazine - early '70s Rod & Custom maybe - about building reverse rims? Anyone got a scan of it?

 

Dam, what are the chances of that? Weird coincidence! Your luck finding them seems to be better than mine since I haven't been able to find any at all!
BTW, im a fan of steel wheels in general, im surprised a thread similar to this wasn't started a while ago.. Great thread you started here!

 

Ya know who has one of the nicest sets of Chrome Wheels ever and they look even better in person? Brian Bass' coupe and whether it's because they are 16" or the fact that the chrome is really nice they just stand out amongst the rest.

The 47 Ford in my avatar (my step-dad's car) once wore Chrome steelies/reverse in the early 60's

 

I think they were plated in Mexico, that might have something to do with it.
