red rat rod wheels

i'm looking for the red painted rat rod wheels i see everywhere. i think these are just steel rims but where do you get the ones with centercaps and beauty rings.

 

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

That made my morning.

 

you're kidding, right?
i need a 5/8 drywall stretcher and a left handed screw driver.

 

at the rat rod store?

 

You can buy new wheels from a number of different vendors and paint them your self or have them powder coated.
Coker, Wheel vintique, Stockton, Paulson, and I am sure there are more make
a wheel that resembles a 40 ford style wheel. I beleive this may be what you are after.

 

I'll let someone else start this one up.

I'll just sit back with the marshmallows and a stick...

WOW! In the time it took me to type this, thee posts made it in under me. I'm impressed.

 

At Hot Topic. Accessories aisle.

 

I got my blue rat rod wheelzzzzzzzz at the bonyard.

 

I don't think Autozone carries them anymore since Jesse James isn't endorsing them now.

 

oh! i think there is a rat rod store conveniently next to walmart. the wheels are one aisle over from "rat rod" "led sled" and "street rod" badges.

 

I didn't know "rat rods" had painted wheels, hub caps or beauty rings. Learn something new every day.

 

aint thoz at walmart in the toyz sekshun??

 

i think you can get the # for the rat rod store in the yellow pages or try your local operator

 

Ball busting aside they are just painted steel wheels. You can see wheels, hub caps, lug caps and trim rings at www.coker.com and www.wheelvintiques.com

 

You mean Wal-Mart carries the special Jessie James edition rat rod wheels!!!!??? Damn I feel like SUCH a poser with my rust-oleum covered steelies from the South Phoenix boneyard for $25! (Yes, that was for all 4 WITH tires...granted they weren't pretty but it got the car home from a 40 mile trek at 50mph or so)

 

Someone help him take the "KICK ME" sign off his back.

Seriously.

 

Right on!

Those will look bitchen on your hearse!

Mr. Nailhead...

Our membership has decided to pull our longstanding endorsement of red wheels... they are now considered "so last week".

Just get yourself a set of Chevy truck wheels, not the rally kind (5 on 5, just like your Buick), have 'em powdercoated red, or get yourself a touch-up gun and a quart of red paint. Wheel Vintiques or Paulsen has them too, if you want new.

Speedway Motors has the wheel spiders, Moon too, if you like spending more.

If you walk out your front door and yell "I need some trim rings!", somebody will shout back where to get them... Chances are they will have some at the boneyard you got your Chevy rims at.

Get hold of DIRTYT of Fat Hack, expert boneyard scavengers.

 

:d :d :d :d :d

 

Ok, I'm awake now.

 

I think i need to go take a dump now!

 

Red wheels on a 60's hotrod?
Well, I guess you can't really turn a 61 into a "50's" style hotrod.
How about some skinny whites & morbecs!

Just buy some old steelies (wreckin' yard) and paint em red.
Tractor supply "Ford Red" is a pretty good color.

Gloss black is where it's at daddy-O.

John the poser......

 

Don't forget to get a spray can of Patina.

 

Ask this guy.......he knows right where they are.

 

why is red so "cool"???

Most people just paint the wheels they have or find plain steel wheels at the junkyard. Trims rings and hub caps can be found at most automotive supply stores.

You can certainly buy them already painted or powder coated with trim rings and hub caps from any aftermarket wheel supplier but they tend to be outrageously expensive.

Your request is generating a lot of sarcastic replies because red painted steel wheels have become so common, people try to avoid using them. Everybody trying to emulate the look of an old hot-rod automatically paints thier wheels red and the body flat black. It's generally felt that it's gotten out of hand now that you see the color scheme on lowered S-10s and Pt cruisers.

The term "Rat Rod" is kind of contaversial in the traditional hot-rod scene.
