Cresliner Wheel

Has anyone used Julianos new crestliner wheel? Any reviews? I'm not sure of the price but I was wondering if they were worth whatever price they are asking?

 

i think diameter is 16", the original ones were 18 i believe....

 

Yeah I know they scaled them down a bit I was wondering what kinda quality they were I'm sure they are pretty good, I'm probably guna have to call and get a price on em

 

i'm pretty sure i just read that their actually billet and painted.

 

Actually as I saw your post I just read that it is Machined from solid aluminum. Well I guess this one wont be breaking apart in your hand like the old ones

 

Limeworks is also doing a Crestliner wheel. Expensive but on par with original wheels. Not sure of material used.

So how much are the Limeworks wheels- out the door? Wasn't there also a guy reproducing them out of El Cajon, Ca? I guess the scaled down billet ones from Juliano's appeal to the street rod guys...seems like they would also offer the original size and broaden their marketing horizon??? Anyway, I'd love to have one someday...

 

looks like they are $750-850 with the horn ring. they are taking preorders for $300 deposit.

 

Geez, those are beautiful, but dont know if i want to refinance my house for one!

 

I think Juliano's said around $1500 and Limeworks was $750-$850(as per previous post).I am definitely thinking of one for the new roadster project

 

Yup ,best be sittin down and have a bank loan aranged for Julianos BEEEAUTIFUL wheel , yall want somethin special the you need to anti up ,(BIG TIME) But then again its like a dash you look at it every time you get in .

 

There is an unrestored crestliner wheel on Ebay for $100 dollars right now. It has no horn ring or center. It says there are no visible cracks but I have to wonder if put into service if something might rear its ugly head. The parts for an original complete wheel would cost you nearly as much as the Limeworks wheel including the purchase of the wheel and restoration.

You guys think that the Juliano's wheel is rich, check this one http://www.shoeboxford.com/public/827.cfm

Our crestliner wheel is as you said milled from billet and the cost is $1,500 painted black or ivory. They are direct fit to GM columns, 49-50 Ford columns and 32 to 39 Ford column. Will not crack like plastic and look great forever.

If these reproductions were the same size as the originals, and cost the same as the chevy butterfly reproductions. I would buy one. I feel like I could get a real one recasted for the same price as these.
