Any morning advise?

 

look like cragar star wires to me.

 

They say weld wheels are they a custom deal or production?

 

Yes Weld Wheel made these wheels in the 70s-80s. during the resto-rod era but most people didn't think they looked enough like Ford wheels with the heavy welded spokes. They are 50 footers to my eye.

 

I remembered a car in Kansas City in the 80's that had those same wheels painted yellow. I looked here to see if you were from that area..sure enough.

The car I remembered was a sectioned 55 Buick, by Dave Stuckey, finished by Doug Thompson and owned by John Povenmire. I doubt you have that car, but I'll bet those were the same wheels.

Anyway, the Weld Wires were kind of a knockoff of the rare and desirable Buick Skylark wheels. But the Weldwheels' thick spokes were where they missed the mark.

 

I had a set in the early 80's they are made by weld wheel. They called them star wires. the oval lug hole took an off set washer that you could change from a 4.5 to 4.75 to 5.00 bolt partern depending on the washer used. They are strong I beat the **** out off a set for a few years and never had a problem

 

They seem very strong/heavy. Whats a good asking price on them? Any Idea they are for sale. Never owened a 50's car but these were on a 29 A Coupe.

 

I've seen them go anywhere from $150 to $1000 a set depending on how good the chrome was. Seeing as those have been painted, I have no idea.

 

could have been from the time when cragar owned weld , back in the late 80's .....neat setup other than the temp space saver tires.....

 

here are pics of a set i have that came on a car i picked up. they are weld star wires, have both 5 on 4 3/4 and 5 on 4 1/2 bolt patterns. they are 15X7's. need the caps re-chromed but,would be a nice driver set of wheels on something.....just not my cup of tea.

 

No, mine are manufactured way different than those looking at pictures.

 

Those weldwire star wires are more like the 50s Mopar wirewheels used on Chrysler/Dodge/DeSoto.

 

Weld Wire Wheels out of the '70's-early '80's, made in Kansas City Area with uni-lugs.
I think they are like mine that are on my Avatar. It's hard to get beyond the Chrome Yellow paint.
