    I've got plans to put a set on my 64 galaxie

    15x5 front with 640-15

    15x7 rear with 820-15. Both tires vintage firestones. What do you fellas think?

    Roy Brizio didn't invent this combination, but he used it enough times to get my attention: Buick rims reversed on '50 Merc centers in the rear, stock '50 Mercs in the front, with Merc caps and whitewalls:

    While we're on the subject, does anybody make these with only one bolt pattern. I want some for my '56 Chevy and don't want to run a hub cap. All I can find are ones with both the Chevy and Ford pattern drilled in them and I think that would not look the best.
    Thanks!

    Is Stockton Wheel still in business?
    Their website says "Under New Management".
    Their "Henry" wheel is perfect for what I want, but what's up with them?

    Smoothies aren't chrome reverse, never will be.

    With the (seemingly) big demand for the "real" chrome reverse wheels lately, I can't figure out why they're not being made by more manufacturers.:confused:

    Smoothies with '41 repro caps on the pickup. Nads, I know they aren't true reverse. But they certianly look better on it than the late '80s F150 crome clad 5 spokes that were on it.

    No one ever did tell me about Stockton Wheel. Are they still open?

    Why don't you call stockton wheel.... Chrome reverse wheels are a custom application typically made to order. There are very few true custom wheel makers left....
