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

American Grand Prix mag wheels - 13x9, for Lotus race cars...

 

Tim, I had a pair of these in 15x7 and they were IDENTICAL to yours - the guy who bought them may be interested in yours if they are for sale...

 

These are Mehelichs

 

probably the most common wheel made American torq thrust but 5.5 bolt pattern. 7 x 15

 

Still one of my favorites.

 

the 2 wheels from above & 2 of the new Halibrands Holley was blowing out cheap . got the black off cut the windows to match and polished. Looking forward to putting them on a car

 

I came across a set of those in a small salvage yard in NH years ago; I couldn't figure out what they were for with that six lug pattern!

 

I think these wheels with no markings have been identified was at a shop. A guy had a set of 4 said he had bought years ago from Butches rod shop thought they were called hot rod wheels anyone remember them

 

Bought this a couple years back. Still looking for another.

 

How about these - C-T Alloy Products 5 spokes known as Super Stock wheels. Insanely rare, these are two-piece, bolt together aluminum wheels made in the mid sixties. These are the rarest of the two sizes offered - 15x6s (they also made 14x6s) and have a factory drilled dual bolt pattern of 5 on 5" and 5 on 5.5". I even have NOS center caps for 4 of them (and one used cap for the spare wheel).

 

Here is one of my Ansen true knockoff wheels in 15x6...

 

Wow! Those are INSANE...LY...COOL!
and the Knock Offs!!
Never seen one B4!

(My buddy has a set of old ANSEN Sprints.)

 

They are pretty rare because they were very expensive when new. They only made them like from 1964 to 1966 or so. They sold the wheels as a bolt on too..only in 5 1/2" bolt patterns. The adapters and spinners are very hard to find. I think the wheel alone retailed for about $45 but the catalog says...we can make it a true knockoff for $92.50 a wheel. Adjusted for inflation..each wheel with the knockoff setup is $950 in today's dollars. Pretty nuts.
