After a few Years of looking for real deal magnesium rims I gave in and bought these. second pic is how it was.
Thanks, I'm not big on buying rims new, but with the 5x5.5 lug pattern I was having an impossible time finding front wheels.
I'm socking away the other wheels to build a similar car with my 3 window. I have an unpolished blower, the steel wheels, cast finish cal custom valve covers, an old cast finish aluminum oil pan and some really cool deep blue lacquer. This car will be on a 32 frame, but that's another build far down the road.
@JimSibley - The new tire & wheel combo fits the "Hot Rod attitude" of your Deuce 5wd so much better then the black wheels with beauty rings. Well done!
It looks better. But is it just the perspective/optical illusion... or are the front tires really tall? Not a criticism, just an observation. Believe me when I say I'm a big fan of your builds.
