Halibrand wheel question

does anyone have any leads on any company that makes the halibrand wheels or look alikes in 20" thanks

 

20 " ?? WTF for ? Can't stand the rubber band tire look myself.

 

32 five window, hey theres an ass for every seat and it wont be rubber bands. im gonna run like a 5 inch side wall in the rear to fill up the wheel opening!

 

I had to chuckle at the first response to this post! I think anyone over 35 see's something over 16" and thinks automatically....its a hoopty aka bro-ham!

Most pickups come factory with 20" wheels now, My wife's OT daily is a small olds coupe and has 16" wheels from factory.

I'm guilty of being quick to jump on something i don't like either, but that's why we have Ford, Chevy, and Dodge!

 

Uh, you could get a Model A with 21" wheels. It is not the size, per se. It is the style.

 

Just waiting to see the first donked '32 on HAMB. You KNOW its coming...

 

Check out Newstalgia Wheels http://www.newstalgiawheel.com/street_rod_wheels.asp

They offer wheels from several mfg's. However, about the only "Halibrand style" wheels you're going to find that big is the salt flat/kidney knock-off style.

 

these are the wheels i have now, just looking for some halibrands but i want some that are big, not "15 inch" those wheels on the 55 buick in that pic is the car bobby alloway built and they are 20" with lots of rubber, and most guys dont even make their cars sit right with the right size tires

 

For whatever my opinion might be worth, I think you already nailed the perfect look on your car.

 

With the build style of your car, I would try to find some large diameter solid steelies before I put a big window Halibrand style wheel on there. You've got a very solid late 50's/early 60's build style to your car, and the aluminum wheels are going to look way out of place.

Try calling Phil at PSE Wheels. I found his number online - (310) 534-4477.


I'm pretty sure he makes a few different halibrand styles. He makes his own centers up, so maybe he could do something custom. Not sure if he will...but could be a place to start.

I had a set of his halibrand style replicas on a Cobra and the quality was amazing.

 

I'll probably catch hell for posting this link, but I dig the big window Halibrand style myself and am not opposed to the bigger diameters when done right. Check these out.

x2 just kill me.

 

It's all about getting the right amount of sidewall in play and getting the proper stagger for the classic "big-n-littles" look. It may not be traditional but it sure does look badass on the right car (as in just about anything Alloway has built).

Much thanks for the link, Chris 50. I've been looking for this exact wheel and the closest I'd gotten to it so far was a new wheel from BonSpeed but it didn't have enough "dish" like the ones Alloway has made.

 

Car looks perfect now.

p.s. is that masking tape on the frame? Hope it comes off easy!

 

thanks guys i like how it is now but im just looking for another set to change it up when i want to!

X38 yes thats masking tape, my chassis is all done painted, cut and buffed just trying to protect it! hopefully it will come off !

chris50 , thanks alot thats just what im looking for, and i want the spinner also

 

I knew i wasn't the only one on this form that liked wheels larger than 14"....on TRADITIONAL hotrods ...i prefer it stated..."there's a seat for every AZZ" ...
