Chrome Reverse Picture Thread

Im getting ready to order some chrome reverse from Raylle America wheels, 15x6 6 lug, reversed. Been wanting some since I was a kid.

 

Yea, it kinda makes a statement, doesnt it?

That would really be great. I ran across that pic about ten years ago, been gazing at it with lust ever since.

 

Anybody bought the O.E. chrome wheels from Summit Racing? They seem like a great price, but do they come with the centers polished so you can run them without caps?

Yea they do look big, think its the 14in rims with no whitewalls and oversize tires...no they weren't slicks

 

Here's what I'm running.

I remember when the cars in my area looked like that. NICE!

 

Love that Chevelle!

Sylvian... who made your wheels?

 

Pic I took of your car Mike at 2008 WOW:

 

Freakin' beautiful!

 

Early spring, 1969. Me in 11th grade, in my first car. These, and Astro Supremes, remain my all time favorite wheels; factory-center chromies seem to be very scarce these days.

My thanks to whoever started this thread, and for all the outstanding photos!

 

These are genuine chrome reverse wheels, old ones done years ago, the trires go on from behind.
I just painted the centers with vintage Seymour spray bomb metalflake but unfortunately the nozzle kept gumming up so I couldn't get the coats I wanted, looks Ok enough though.

 

15 inch ford centers in 15x6 lincoln outers...

 

^^^ Those look the titties!!! ^^^
but then the whole car is fantastc.

what about those 4 luggers then? who knows what car they came from originally?

 

I'll play. My 60 flattop. (too new for this site?). This wil be my test to see if my pic attaches.

 

Mine.

 

Geez where the hell have I been, I missed all these new posts on this thread.
I don't know what to tell you, other than these wheels started out as 13inch 4 lug GM wheels, that were reversed and chromed. Has to be original Chevy II / Nova or Corvair. I just polished them and was drooling over them in the garage the other night. Gonna have to find a car for them to go on.

 

A timeless look

 

Chrome reverse with bullet centers...

 

Pretty pretty!

If they don't look like this, they aren't "reversed" in the traditional way.
Deep set or widened, maybe, but not reversed.
The "new" wheels made with the safety bead to hold tubeless tires on when you curb them just can't look right because they don't have that "cone" part of the rim that makes it.

 

I see...its been a while ive been ponderin the idea of making my own, but cant find a decent 4 lug wheels to start w/.
They all have crappy design centers........well, i have no hurry anyway.
Thanx.

 

That is one TALL Nova. Gabriel Hi-jackers and extended shackles? LOL

The big is blurry, but it looks like a skinny whitewall on the back? Do you know what year the pic was taken?

Thanks!

 

1974. Straightaxle, L88, M22, twelve bolt. I've owned this car since 79 and just got it running again after twenty years.

I've got 15x5's on my 40 with 11 inch disc brakes. No problems.

 

my 1932 chev

 

Just picked up a pair of these today. According to the guy, they have been in his garage for over 30 years. The bias-ply raised whites aren't exactly the right style, so I will be making some fakie wide whites for them. The tires are in such perfect shape I'll have to find a hardcore muscle car guy that will appreciate them.

I have some bullet lugs to run with them and am looking for push-through caps that will work for the 2 3/4" hole. My real dilemma is that I am running some stock steel wheels that are painted black on the front. Any pics of just chrome reverse on the front or rear with painted steels on the other end?

Thanks
