Hot Rods Radar spindle mount wheels

I know radir makes the aluminum 18” 12 spoke wheels new. Has anyone seen or know about a 18”x 2” 5 spoke spindle mount possibly made by radar? Sorry I don’t have a picture at the moment. The wheels are magnesium and look to be for a ford spindle. The only identification mark on the wheels is “R” on one spoke on each wheel. Thank you for any help. I’ve searched here on the board and came up with nothing. I’ve tried calling RADIR to see if they had any insite but they are on vacation until the end of march. I’m not looking for new 18” 12 spokes I’m looking for info on 18” 5 spoke spindle mount.

 

can't let this guy go with a little chops bustin'

When searching for New Mag wheels, this was the only result. They sure don't seem to have old style products.

I’ve spent a couple hours searching here on the hamb. I could’ve sworn I’ve seen a post on here about these wheels a long time ago, but some of the pictures on these threads aren’t available

 

I’ve never seen an 18” five spoke. Is it shaped like the pointy spoke 15” spindle mounts?

 

I believe these are 18s if so they're over 25 years ,on a Yellow 33/34 3w with Endele bug
old

 

no they are very flat spokes with rounded edges. Has some webbing between spokes by the bearing.

 

Maybe try the archives of magazines at Motor trend to look for adds or wheels on vehicles just a thought

 

Always thought Motor Trend was for the sporty crowd.

 

Motor Trend has rights to many
Mags , H-R -M , Street Rodder ,SuperChevy , Trucken
Engine Builder , theres is / ways
Like 40 different magazines online and archives like H-R-M 1948 to present
It was Free ,

 

News travels slow when your retired (and old).
I enjoy going to the dentist because he always has car magazines in the waiting room.
Problem is he only has Car and Driver, Road and Track, etc, at least I can see where my money is going.

 

Bump for the night crowd

 

Is this what you're looking for?

 

Or maybe this design.... Both Wheels were made by Romeo Palamides

 

Could it be the 5 spoke LeMans in spindle ??? Last pic

here are about 10 others 5 spoke wagon
Most 60's early 70's
If non of these
Check thread Drag Car In Motion
Or do***entary Funny Car Summer
Filmed in like 72

 

These are all great OG wheels. Hard to find though!

 

To the best of my knowledge, American never made the Lemans wheels in a spindle mount version.

 

Lots of twelve spokes, guys. And lots of 15”. But he’s looking for an 18” five spoke. The blown hemi altered is the only one that might be what he’s looking for, and I’ve never seen that wheel before.

 

I seen The Prue Hell had 5 spoke wagon when Chevy powered engine
With
Hemi a different Wheel /rim.
@alchemy
@bowie
I was thinking
Maybe the Lemans in Spindle,
Just by Op description.
If So , Yes Rare if made .I wonder
What all could been made ,
Not advertised.
If Op could draw a sketch .

 

The 5 spoke on the blown altered is close but not the wheel I’m looking for. In it to sure I’ve seen that wheel before either. As soon as I get my hands on these wheel I’ll Post up good pictures.

 

I was just eagerly trying to do some research until
I can get my hands on them again. They do have a cast in “R” on one spoke on each wheel. Romeo palimedes? Possibly???

Full pic
I would say 68 - 72

 

The only front wheels he produced were the 15” 12 spoke spindle mounts and those were introduced in 1959. It must have been around that same time that he sold the rights to his wheels to what became American.
