    Hoping someone out there can help me!

    I've been trying to contact Pat O'Brien at Real Rodders Wheels - with no luck :(.

    Anyone know if he is still in business? I'm after a set of his wheels...... 15x5.5 & 16x8 Trick.

    I spoke with Pat a couple weeks ago to follow up on the order I placed in June of '16. I understand things happen but I'm about ready to get the American Rebel wheels.

    Pat is pretty close to a one man band, so I have always tried to give him the benefit of the doubt. I'll let you make your own decision as far as that goes. But, I have to say, his wheels are BEAUTIFUL and made in the United States from start to finish, which is pretty damn important to me.

    Here is my '34 with his 15X6s and 15X10s.

    Never had any problem. Sometimes it takes awhile to get the wheels.

    Here is what the 15X4.5 and 15X8 Trick American Rebels look like. American made and I am very happy with them.

    Appreciate the replies!

    I had been in contact with Pat through '15/'16 - but have lost touch for the last 6 months or so....

    Just wanting to know if anyone else has had recent contact, recent business, or dealings with Pat. I truly hope he is doing well and intending to make more wheels!!! My Ford Coupe has been set up to suit his sizes/offsets.

    Ok. So I got in contact with Pat.

    He's going very well and ramping up production of the 15" Sprints [emoji41].

    The 16s are still a little way off.... but when only the best will do I'm happy to be patient!

    Even though pat makes great wheels, he is very hard to contact, and does not return any messages. I had a set of wheels on order for 10 months, That he said would take 45 day to ship. I'm sorry, but I will not be buying from him anymore. I bought American rebel and had them in less than a month. Me and my customer are both happy with them.
