spider caps and trim rings 15" question

Definitely in for a set here!!

If they'll for sure interchange between 14" and 15" Fords from the 60s, no reason to wait.

Thanks.

 

the REAL STUFF is ALWAYS worth more than REPO shit,,,,,guess you havent figuered that out yet,,,



..but,,for along time,,i have always wondered why nobody has reproduced such a SIMPLE item,,,GLAD to SEE you found a $$$ making opaurtunatiy to ,,,and are JUMPING IN to make sum bucks off the hotrodders,,..

 

Im in for a set.

 

you DO realize that in the 50s/60s people were buying these for $1 each,right?i think that's how much winfield had on the pricetag on his when he gave them to JJ
creepy

 

Count me in for a set.

 

i'll take a set... AWESOME

 

I have the original box mine came in. $24.95 in 1963 for a set of 4. Gas was about .19 cents per gallon so do the math.

300.00 for an original set today is about on par.
Anything less is whoring them out.

Before anyone starts, I don't need a bunch of flaming on my comments, just my opinion, which we all on here are entitled to.

 

put me down for a couple sets for chevy
thanks

 

if these rings will fit the centers on my 65 Ford Truck wheels I am using count me in for a set as well. This will be awesome. i measured my wheels tonight and it looks like they should be the 10 and 1/8 size as well, i think...

 

Hey guys, Update. We got the first sample today and it fits great so we're giving the go ahead to make them first thing in the morning.

That's great, appreciate you doing this Jimmy.
Any chance of posting a pic of one?

Thanks, Mike

 

I'm in for a set. Are you going to PM people when they are ready?

 

I will PM you guys and I'll also post it on this tread and maybe start a new one. I'll try to get a picture up but my internet connection is really slow so loading pictures is hard.

In that case, put me down for a set.

 

I'm down for a set.

I don't know why so many people are a upset someone is repoping them last I heard capitalism was encouraged in this country (I know not all of us here are American but Wheelkid is located here). If he makes a quality part I have no problem paying a fair price for it. I guess we shouldn't repop anything and when all our NOS spares break we just call it quits and scrap the things we love because someone has an ideal they are trying to uphold.

Ok here's a picture. Sorry its so small, anything bigger and it would take forever.

Cool, count me in for a set too!

 

What year rims will these fit? The reason I ask is my 50 Chevy has the stock rims with the clips rivited to the rim for the dogdish type caps

Thanks,
Todd

 

Hey guys, Update, the rings are all done being spun and we're going down there wednesday to pick them up and take them to get chromed.

Jimmy, PM me when ready, I would like a set. Thanks

 

OK, I'm in for a set, too.

Will these work on a '40 Ford style wheel?

 

No, they will not, 10 1/8" Outside knob wheels only

We're going to pick the rings up tomorrow and take them to get plated.

Anybody else got any ideas on products we should make?

Congrats holmes...It looks like you pulled it off!

I use to have 4 complete orignal sets of these (that i sold off to fellow HAMBers..lol) that i was afaid to use cause i didnt want them to get stolen or pop off...So i'm def. interested in a set when they come back from chroming..again, hats off to you and great work!

Dirty

 

I'm curious, are these stamped or done with some other process?...god I love the look of those, and I'm sure glad that someone is finally re-popping them...good job man...now if only you guys made the flat style spider covers without the bullet center...and if only you guys had a job for me building stamping dies, there's a lot of things I've wanted to build stamping dies for but don't have the equipment to make the dies or use the dies...keep up the good work you two...

 

IM down for a set

 

how soon will they be available for ordering and when will ya get some pix of chromed ones up?i'm SO wantin to order a set!
creepy

 

Ok guys, we picked them up today and dropped off 100 at the chromer's. So we've got bare steel ones ready to sell if anyone wants them and the Chrome ones will be ready to ship next thursday. We have finalized the price at $100 a set for the chrome ones.
