    Hey guys, I am building my first truck (48 Ford F2). Right now I have a lot of the major components of the build, but I am now starting to source some wheels. My question is: I love the look of the 16" Ford wire wheels, but I wanted to see what their durability was. I am going to run around 300 ~ 350 Hp in the truck, and was not sure how these wheels would hold up. In 1935 when the wheel were built they were not designed for this type of load. Would I be better off with smoothies?

    Thnks in advance guys!

    Hi Ryan

    Please go do an intro then come on back. Not sure wires will be the look you are after though on a big pick up.
