These are a set of American Racing Standards I picked up from my local wheel guy. I bought them because I thought they were unique...but it looks like I may not have realized how unique they are. After looking at Dave Mann's roadsters.com, I saw that he's only seen a few pairs of them. Are they that rare?
I was gonna ask "hows life treating ya?" Apparently ..it's good ...nice find!! I havent seen any of those in a looooong time !
They'll say American Racing on them. There is a similar version w/ rounded windows, more like a Halibrand kidney bean. I think those were made of magnesium. Those would be neat. Bolt pattern is 4 1/2.
"There is a similar version w/ rounded windows, more like a Halibrand kidney bean. I think those were made of magnesium." Yeah, I had a couple of those my uncle (old hotrodder) gace me when is was younger. Thought they were cool but sold them at a swap meet for next to nothing. Man, I've been dreaming about those for a while... I doubt I could afford them now, not to mention even find them. r
Tony, I have a set of these on my nostalgia A/SR that we built back in the 60's I've heard they've become a rare piece. I'd be interested if you know what they're going for these days? Mine are a 5" bolt pattern for the Olds/Pont rear end under the car. Happy Holidays, Lyn Smith If you care, here's link that shows my old car http://lek.net/~thesmith
those are the palamides jr fuelers...probably from around 67-68-69 ish........the standards were more of a dish wheel.....with a more rounded hole.....the standards were one of the first wheels palamides made along with the 12 spokes...maybe around 57ish.....the first ones had a lip around the windows.....those are ultra rare.....brandon
