    Looking for a set of 5.5 or 6 in x15 wheels to match my halibrand sprints. Who makes the closest clone and which manufactures are still in business? Where is the best place to start looking? Thanks

    Talked to Holley a few weeks ago and they didnt have the size I wanted and that they were not going to build any more when inventory runs out, thats why I need a good clone

    I can also recommend these wheels.
    I have both actual, magnesium Halibrand wheels, and a set (well, the rears are on the way, the fronts are in hand) of these American Rebel wheels.
    If there is a measurable difference, it's in the flange thickness. The American Rebel is a little...thicker. But not "nearly" as thick as the other copies.
    Very well done.
