    They'll fit any 16" rim and a '32-'35 cap will snap right into the Disc. I've got steel or aluminum ready to roll - the link is in my signature. Think I'm buried somewhere in the HAMB-o-dex too. (my screen name used to be Grimlok)

    very cool- do you know if they're tall enough to clear the spindles on the front and rear of a Model A? I'm running 16" steelies but would love to cover those up, it looks like a chariot from Ben Hurr!
     
  5. I love those things myself, makes me wanna run wire wheels.

    In Da Shop, I was going to ask the same question. Beautiful tires. Check out this website.

    I think he must have stolen them - Grimlok makes 'em!

    Whatever happened to Grimlok?

    ;)

    Clark, have you run those at any real speed with the 35 Ford cap just snapped on like that? I would think it would eventually launch into orbit at some point.I would suggest some set screws on them caps to keep them on. I just got my second set from Kevin(Thanks Kevin) and am very happy with them. This set I just bought from him was spun up in steel. They have some tool marks that look like I can sand them out pretty easy.I plan on powdercoating this set in gloss black or bright red. He also made up a set of inner rings(Aluminum) for me to go around the brakes in back for the front. I will put them back on my rpu as soon as I find another K-H wheel to replace a bad one. These inner rings will compliment my brushed aluminum set nicely. I dig them all around. This is how I roll! Dale

    Dale ..had it up over 70. I did lose one. It was loose to begin with. The rest fit good and have hung in there.

    Woah, you lost an entire cover? Or a cap from the center? I've had my car past 90 on rough roads with no problems - but I have Ford wire wheels. You say that cap was loose to begin with? I just want to make sure I'm not recommending something that could be problematic.

    I honestly don't see how a cap could come out any easier than it would on a wheel? I think when my car gets back together I need to run solids with Aero Discs and caps as a test bed.

    Easy there Kevin.....I just lost the 35 center cap. It was an original and a little wore. The rest are fine and have been on some rough roads.
