i like these

 

Gotta cast my vote for Magnesium Americans

 

its a tuff question.
favorite wheel is like saying a favorite car. Cant be just one. Plus, a wheel might be my favorite for one acr, but a real non no for another.

This said, im a 4 lug/mid size car nut, so these are some of the wheels i'd love to own one day and my set of cragar ss.

 

Steelies with 63 Impala Dog Dish Caps

 

Ditto on the Americans.....Don't like that the new ones are made overseas.

 

Or these

 

Went this route on the '57 but seriously considering a set of chrome reverse too so I can switch back and forth. Gotta picture it with yellow/white two tone like the old Mooneyes truck.

Like the looks of the slots on the Unibody so they get to stay there.

So how H.A.M.B. friendly are these wheels?? Do you think they will look alright on my wagon?

 

They look a lot like Halibrand mags, which date back to like the late-'50s, early-'60s. Realistically, I think they'd have been too pricey for anything but a competition car in that era, but they don't sour the period look or anything.

Now this is how a 3w should look! Love them damn wheels....

 

Dig it!

 

x3 with spiders

 

Halibrand 5 spoke

 

The wheels are probably more HAMB freindly than the wagon...

That type of wheel was around in the era, and I've seen them on the street in pictures of cars from earlier than that, so why not?

 

Skip the wagon and put them on the 57 210 2drht in the back ground.

 

TTOs!

 

I agree on the TTOs

 

Anymore pics of the orange Rancherito? Really cool.

 

Shameless plug...

Remember the Ronal "Teddy Bear" wheels that every chick in the Valley had to have on her Beetle?

 

Torque thrusters, and 4 spoke 13in Cragars on my stuff!!

 

These are the wheels going on my 1932 Chevrolet Roadster. The centers are as cast and the lips will be a machine finish. I should have them here next week so we can mount up the tires.

The Fronts are 15x5.5



The Rears are 15x12 - The picture is of a set of 15x10's, mine are widened with 2 more inches to the outside.



I have 2 NOS Aluminum Halibrand Kidney Bean 5 Wheels in 15X8 (Polished Lip and Sand Cast Centers) I wont be using that will get posted up in the classifieds next week.

 

These are Team III wheels round spokers...they're identical to the magnesium torq thrusts

 

Not Beetle, man...Rabbit. A cabriolet Rabbit. hahahaa

 

crager ss

 

Uh, did some one mention Torq Thrust?
