Features Rare Wheels - show us what you've got!

Photo isn't clear on the backside outer lip but I recall a wheel made by Fish Ent. that had an odd lip there, never could figure out why it was there.
If it is from Fish, you do have some rare wheels.

 

Looking for info on these magnesium wheels and tires. I think maybe early Halibrand four hole but haven't found ones that are finned like these. There are no marking that I can see.


These were on the rear of my grandfathers Bonneville Studebaker.
My father is on the left and my grandfather is on the right.
This was 1967 or 68

 

WOW!! I bet there are some great stories behind their trips!

 

I put them on my vintage wheel group and they were identified quickly as Halibrands

 

I like their marketing wording "Bonneville straight-away record assault wheel".

 

Awesome. Thank You

 

Halibrands will often have tag(s) cast into them indicating the size, model number, and other such identifying information.

Here's an example:

I saw that post, but the wheels in the photos aren't the same as the ones in the advertisement. The advertisement wheels have five windows, not just four.

They're probably Halibrand... but they might also not be.

 

I've had these 15x4 Crestlines for years. Reluctantly put them up for sale in the classifieds as I need to raise some $ to bring my '61 Corvette back to the 1960s.

 

What is the bolt pattern and off set? Thanks Gary

 

They are 5 on 4.75" and I believe neutral offset, but will confirm.

 

Ok guys. What are these. I have always assumed that this was a set of Ansen Sprints that matched the fronts on the Prefect. There is no casting numbers /names /and only one set of numbers stamped in the outside edge. I will take any and all help identifying what they really are. I have had Halibrand Bear Claws and there are some similarities from the mounting face but not from the front. They measure 15 1/2 outside of bead to outside of bead. Measure 14 1/2 wide inside to inside. 15 inch diameter. 5 on 5. Pattern. Uncle Marion gave these to us. I am letting Wes run them on the Opel Kadett. Never seen another set like them.

 

Not sure but they "bigguns"!

 

A 326S. Is all that’s stamped on the inner lip.

 

So I have these 15x7 Keystones - look like Rogues but they are magnesium...they made what they called K Mags in '73 in very limited numbers that look "close" to Rogues but not in a 15x7 size...I am stumped...

 

picked up these mid 50s IH wheels 16 inch 4.5 lug pattern takes 40s ford hub caps

 

Not particularly rare, but a good alternative to change bolt pattern to late model ford, with the early look, steel wheel. Gaps are a little different where centre is riveted to outer hoop/ rim, and less offset , backspace compared to ford.
I have had a few of these.
Dodge are the same I believe.

 

not super rare but wanted to show these old ET 5 Spokes I have been working on going on my truck next week what a dirty job.backs are not marked ET but take that style washers

 

Right place/right time…Craigslist find, scored these front 15x3.5”magnesium Motor Wheel Flys on new 5.60-15 Goodyear Power Streaks for $200, plus $50 to ship them to me…guy bought them for his Anglia, then didn’t like the way they looked on it once he got ‘em mounted…lucky me

 

This really rang a bell with me, had to dig it up to verify.

Man, those things were THE wheel in Pro Stock in the 70's, wanted to put them on my drag car but $$$, went with the new Cragar Super Tricks instead.

$200.00

 

Even that shipping was ridiculously low, nice score

 

not sure how much I like these on the truck I will run them for a while & see . the wife does not like them at all

 

I like them.

 

I love it. Matter of fact that is a truck I've built in my head a few times, color, wheels and all!! If you ever get tired of looking at it let me know!

 

looks perfect to me

 

My nephew traded four used 14” chrome steel wheels to his neighbor for these. Think he did ok?

 

Those 2 5 spokes are pretty sweet.

 

Fucking nice!!!!!...

 

Yeah! Wonder what else might be hiding there!

 

A 36 Ford big truck that has been in their family for years. Supposedly was a fire truck originally and has less than 10,000 miles.

 

I bought a set of 5 spokes from PartsDawg a couple of weekends ago. They are 15x6. Aluminum centers in a steel hoop. I am assuming they are E-Ts, as they have the UNILUG cast into them. But they have no E-T markings that I can find, and the center cap says "Delta". The keys/inserts/washers/whatever do not have a taper. They are, however, stamped "Pat Pend" on one side, which makes me think early genuine UNILUG, which would have to be E-T. Did they produce wheels to be sold by someone else, who marketed under "Delta"? I did a Google search and did not find anything old for a Delta wheel, although therte are wheels by that name nowadays.
