What's the story with these cast wheels (Pinkees booth)

I borrowed this picture from another HAMBer since I dont' have mine uploaded yet from GNRS.

I've been seeing these wheels popping up here and there. It's seems it all started at Pinkees last year (or maybe earlier).



What the heck are these?? Is there someone selling these or are these specially cast for them (or someone else)??

I didn't even know where to begin looking for info on them. Sorry if it's been discussed already.

Thanks!

 

I think Jeem knows a thing or three about the barn those were found in

 

Scooter,
If I remember correctly, they were made by Boyd. (I don't know the specifics of the wheel company vs. the shop and where they stand now...) It seems like the question was asked when similar wheels were spotted (GNRS last year?) on the '32 Sedan that Pinkee's is building.

I've talked to the guys from Pinkee's at different events and they are always willing to answer questions - good guys....

Here's the thread talking about the '32 Sedan and those wheels (maybe the same set?)

They're the same set that was on the `32 Tudor last year.

 

They would only look 'just right' spindle-mounted like that in my opinion. One of the coolest wheels ever for sure.

 

i thought that sedan might be featured this year, done. anyone have an idea? IMO they are at the top, tip top, and the best of the best, right now. period. can ya tell i like em?

 

If ya gotta have shop rollers you might as well have ones that make folks go WTF!?

 

Word!

Yep! There's the Sedan and I remember the thread. Couldn't remember if those wheels were one in the same or not.



That thread helped... Sounds like Boyd maybe made one of the wheels and here's what Jeem had to say...

For some reason I was thinking I saw these on another car that was NOT Pinkees built, this year. Maybe I'm mistaken and it was just something similar. Probably was...

Malcolm, good meeting you at GNRS this year! Hope you enjoyed your time in Cali!

 

Hey, I just caught this thread.
The sedan?! It's coming right along.....
The wheels?! Yep, them too....


Won't be too awful long before it rolls out into the sunshine all finished up!

 

I have the fourth wheel in my shop, Ive got my air hose wraped around it, I never knew there were three more just like it.

 

A mere hose reel?! EEGads!
Now, a Christmas tree base(?).....yeah, now we're talkin'.....

Hey, I know, let's just make a wheel with BOTH!

 

If you look close it looks like the motor out of that sedan is in the 32 roadster next to the T roadster with the wheels.

Those wheels not only look sweet, but they look expensive as all hell. Serious eye candy.

 

Christmas tree base? For shame, that's a perfectly good toilet seat lid in some rural counties...

 

I bet there are more than three.

 

Good eye, but it's actually a different motor, seems the headers are community property though!
