saw a pair today .i thought i knew a bit about them .the tires and wheels were mounted together .supposedly ... a non replaceable tire ..but ,researched it a little more .when i got to the computer .i guess they were made in the 70's ..i though for sure earlier .then ,i realized i knew nothing about them .. i was wondering if anyone knew more about them .
what ? not one know it all . has any input about these wheels . i swear i'll post a thread about lakes headers ,flat paint and a chopped shoebox next week .
Hi skratch, I think I know which wheels you're talking about. Check out this old post on them: Mystery wheels !! and this website Firestone L** Gus
I know of a complete set of four that has been for sale cheap for a long time on the west coast. Still there two weeks ago... The only car these ever actually came on that I'm aware of was the Stutz and I believe that was 1969 or so. I sold my wheels to a collector that had one of Elvis' old cars and originally came with these wheels.
I have a set of those wheels in 16 x 3.5 there going on my 32 someday with a pair of 450 x 15 firestones. Should look pretty cool. I bought them from Kirk off ebay some time aog. Danny
Skratch I still have a pair of these nos wheels.. Call me cause I don't have your number anymore... Lucky
Sorry to bring this old tread up, but has anyone ever tried putting a smaller tire on these wheels? I think they would look good on the front of a fenderless car with a 4.50-17 or something like that.
