Hot Rods Mag wheels,best new old style ones?

Just thinking aloud.(typing)
What do you consider the best looking mag wheel available new?
60's style Model A coupe,fenderless.
Like 15x4 in front and 15x7 rear or maybe 16x8 ??

In the 5 spoke genre whatcha like best?

Has anyone used the "g***er" wheel I see by Wheel Vintique ??
Anything from Halibrand worth using now?

Don't mind having mix matched wheels...But don't dig the bolt on 12 spokes.

Photo's always help..

( I love old mag wheels,but was thinking buying some brand new)

 

attached the "g***er" wheel above.

I like the look of this coupe with the old 5 spokes.
Can it be duplicated with what's available now?

 

Radirs would be on top of the list... single or tri rib.

good ol torq thrust D's... I love plain old 60's five spokes. I love my ET's... I think there are enough five spoke mags popping up that you could score a set for the cost of new-

I'm really not down with too many of the "new stalgia" wheels I've seen so far- who knows though... maybe something will pop up in this thread that'll make me eat my words...

here I added some ****ty pics of my O/T vintage mags

 

We just put the new 15x4 and 16x8 kidney beans on our RPU- I need to get some pics. Those Real Rodder's wheels are awesome!

 

i'd second the real rodder wheels....a friend of mine put on the "tim wells" combo on his 32 vicky...15x4.5's and 15x8 tricks....sweet combo...do a 16x8 and cut the rearend.... brandon

 

Cragar makes a polished tri rib radir knockoff that looks great! They won't clear the disc brake on a 72 chevy truck without a little grinder work...but I liked them.

 

brewsir what do those cost... they actually look pretty rad-

 

Are you talking about the aluminum wheels that the finish looks like magnesium???

 

ansens are awesome!!! just picked up a set of 15x8.5s for my 31 and love them already. looking for some fronts tho.

 

I found these pictures by the curb..

 

Ansen,slotted mags?
Like the ones the Mopar geeks all had in high school?

 

et/teamIII offers a descent 5 spoke...check out there site

 

not sure i like to admit it but i really like the salt-flat wheels (from AR I think)...

 

For a "modern" wheel they are nice looking.
And I've seen several hot rods they looked nice on...

but,nah.

 

I like Torq Thrust D wheels. I got a set a few weeks ago at a local yard for a whopping $10.58 each. Also got some old slots and Centerlines from the same place for the same price.

 

Eric, who carries those 5 slot real wheels?

 

I was going to get a pair of the "g***er" by wheel vintique but they told me they were made in china so that changed my mind.

 

yes i like em lol

 

i like both styles ....just not together... and without the dark gray finish...looks too ...wrong they just need a big window speedway to match those little windows.... brandon

 

Jegs has them...I didn't remember spending this much on the set I had...but maybe I stepped up or had just sold something!http://www.jegs.com/i/Detroit Wheels/306/620-5865C/10002/-1

 

I vote for some good ol' Torque Thrust D's. They're around if you are patient.

 

As far as new 5 spokes go....I like the Radir Bullets. They went out of production for a while but I think they're making them again.

I like the Torq Thrust Originals. These are 15x8.5.

 

Glad to hear the Radir Bullets are coming back.....I never understood why they discontinued them in the first place.

Just got off the phone with real rodders wheels,at the very least 6 month wait if you want 5 1/2 bolt pattern racemasters(small kidney bean) I'm ready to buy now!

 

I didn't understand that either (popular size the won't make)- but my buddy wanted them bad enough to run adapters.

 

id like to see some cars with the real rodders wheels... only seen pics of the wheels, never on anything!

im with Tuck for the most part, tribar radirs are the best new stuff out there

 

Radirs of any type!! Original straight spoke Americans are cool too.

 

Man, Radirs look AWESOME on that '65 Chevelle. L79 car?

 

Man, COOP's A sedan looks pretty bad ***...forget what he's got on there though. Anyone got a pic handy?
