Wide steelies

im new to the hamb. looking for advice / pros and cons both , of any vendors to use to make me a set of 15 x 14 steelies for my 33 plym coupe. looking for 5 hole, not those 10 hole fit everything ones. ??

 

Talk to Jimmy, wheelkid here on the HAMB at Rally America. He does very nice work.

 

thanks for the advice. its seems rally america, us wheel, early wheel company, all use the same " blank" wheel center , which has 10 holes. 5 of 4 1/2 inch and 5 with 4 3/4 inch. i posted this to share i got hooked up with a guy named hector at wheels vintique and he went the extra mile to ask a supervisor if he could special order what i wanted . he hooked me up. thanks hector for the extra effort. if all goes as planned i will have my wheels in 8-10 weeks. 15x14, 4 inch back space. plain jane ford 64 series . they will be painted flat red riding against my satin black paint job.

 

Looks like you already found what you're looking for. I was going to mention Pete Paulsen House of Wheels. I have his steel wheels on two of our cars with different patterns front/rear, offsets, and backspace, but no multi holes. I ordered them raw steel (covered with protective oil) and painted them myself. Price was right, shipping was quick.

 

thanks, ill check him out anyway.
ps. nice looking sedan.

 

I had these made for my slicks. They cost me $65.00 each plus the paint.

 

thats and insane deal. did u supply anything? the oe rim? before it was widened , or just was that cheap. man i wish i waited one day later.

 

I supplied 2 stock 15" wheels. The guy cut the centers out of them, machined them down and fit them into new hoops. He welded them up and I have what you see. Honestly I don't know how he can afford to do 'em this cheap but I'm not complaining.

Oh and by the way.... they're as true as true can get and he's right in Cheektowaga.

Cancel your order!

 

Now just how many of do you expect to know where in the hell "Cheektowaga" is?
Especially with an avatar address of "earth"????????????

New York, of course...everybody should know those Mohawk Indian names?...well..I "think" that is Mohawk.

 

Arent you small ford pattern on a 33 dodge??....

 

Marsh Racing Wheels they made mine http://www.mrt-wheels.com/catpages/wheel%20parts.html

 

Ha Ha!

Damn F&J you're good!


I only put the name of the town because the O.P. lives near there.... yea like I do.

Okay the secrets out. But then where do ya think Cheektowaga would be???

Okay, never mind, I guess with a name like Cheektowaga it could be on Planet X!

 

holy cr*p, that makes me feel worse that the guy is 15 miles from here. maybe ill get a second set made for slicks. too late on the cancel. my c card is charged and they are on there way. i dont want to stiff them , so lesson learned i guess.
small bolt pattern? - its mustang 2 frt with speedway big rotor kit (5 on 4.5") and ford 9 inch rear.....
ps. cheektowaga also known to the locals as " cheektavegas".. i grew up there. which explains alot. i guess i shouldnt have drank the water out of the creek?

 

Too late, but the Wheelsmith does custom offset steel wheels pretty cheap. They even welded in clips to fit Dodge hub caps for me.

Next time PM me.

 

So are you going to narrow the 9 inch and if so, by how much and how did you calculate it?

 

already done many years ago. doing an update to a car i built 17 years ago. new color, wiring,wheels and some frame work. upgrading from 350 chev to a 671 on top of a 427.

 

Just wanted to comment on this to clarify, Although I do carry the 10-hole "Smoothie" wheel, its not the only thing, we have many other options to choose from. And Hector knows that.
