    I know its not a DIVCO but it's as close as you can get for an all new wheel, Comes in 5.5" wide only.

    Those are 5 on 5.5 Bolt pattern, but we can also do them in 4.5 and 4.75 in the OEM style with the outside knob caps. Stock 40-48 Ford cap fit this style and we can do any possible backside, but it's pretty limited on a 5.5" rim. They are $200 each.

    Speaking for myself - that is hands down the coolest wheel I've seen you offer. Very nice.

    Hello Jimmy

    Great wheels.

    Maybe I shouldn't post these in this thread, but here's some Jimmy made for me. I think they're really cool. I wanted them to look like the modified wheels they made back in the lat 40's early 50's. Jimmy and his dad did it :D

    Thanks, Magnus

    Magnus, what is the artillary next to your big steelie? I have a single one just like that, except it has a ring to take a 40-48 cap instead of the small cap. I bet that's one of the McLean small rings, isn't it?

    Yes Jimmy added the small ring to accept the 32-35 Ford cap. I bought those wheels from him too. I don't know exactly what the wheels are for. They are 5.5" on 5 but the ons made for Ford should take the later Ford cap, or? These looks just like Nimrods, in my eyes exactly I have seen others to that differs in the area around the stud holes, but are missing the little clips for mounting the later caps.

    Hopefully I'll find a way to get the french curve caps on those :D

    Man, those things where clean when I sent them, must have gotten a little rusty on the boat ride over.

    They look worse in the pic but it's really just rusty water. It'll buff right off ;)

    I took Kelsey 16's off my car and put on a set of stock 18 wires. It has 700 rears and 600 steering tyres. After a little getting used to I love the look and can't imagine ever going back to 16 anything. I get a lot of questions and interest regarding the wheel/tyre combo.

    Those 18 steelies are neat, actually I would have preferred them over my wires. I think I might need a set for the 5W.

    Here's a couple of pics for reference on how the 18 wheel/tire combo looks on a duece.........

    Do you also carry the trim rings? And what do they look like - ribbed or smooth?
