Hot Rods wheels

Nope. I have had several. Close, but no cigar. Here is the Vette wheel:




and here is the comparison :

 

Dang, just call the guy and see if he knows what they came off of before someone else makes the official call of corvette or trans am "again"

 

I spent an hour or more trying to find what it may have been from.
They are without a doubt not Vette of any year, or T/A....
And honestly i cant find a single factory GM wheel aside from the 79/81 T/A wheel that resembles those.
I agree with low budget on this, send the guy a note and ask. He may actually know.
And now i wanna know. Hahaha

They probly had a big old cap, like this

 

Don't know what they are, but they're sure beginning to grow on me, too. Esp w/the thought of them in Dow7. & maybe w/a fake 'knock-off'. I'm thinking they look like they belong(ed) on a "foreign" car. Sorta something like a DeLorean(sp?) - although I'm sure that is not where they're from. Aw Nuts, - now I "gots to know"... .
Marcus...

 

Lotsa guys want late GM wheels on something they'd drive.
Just an observation...

 

No idea what the wheels are.. But, glad to see that you've got posting pictures down B.A!

 

WELLLLL COPY AND PASTE............ but thats a start lol

 

More info. they are appliance mags. Now anybody know the name??

 

Appliance were 'economy' aftermarket wheels. Sold thousands in many different styles, some better than others. Very common in the '70s-80s. Can't say I ever seen your exact style wheel, though some close.

 

Appliance is a aftermarket wheel company,that settles my curiosity because there are thousands of diffrent aftermarket style wheels out there, the notion that they were a factory OEM wheel was what had me puzzled......their are sevral similar style wheels on diffrent makes that they (couldve been) but maybe just looked diffrent with a center cap missing???

I have heard similar style aftermarket wheels like that called spider mags,hurricanes, turbines etc.
All that being said Im genrally not too excited about em unless they were on a off topic T/A and even then I probably wouldnt get real crazy however they could be tweaked into something cool on the rite car with the rite center cover or fake knock off.

 

LMAO,, A new trend rising. Pro Mullet or Mullet Mod. Blends right in with the Restomod.

 

Whoops! Thanks 56Don.

Really ? For ****s sake all that effort when you already knew what they were ?

 

No i didn't! i'm man enough to say i made a mistake. didn't read the add all the way through. MY MISTAKE!Haven't bought them either.Still don't know what to look for . the more i look at them, i wonder if they are fwd. And i didn't mention ebay because some folks really don't like the spot.If i wasted your time sorry.And its not My add,if anybody wonders.

 

Sheet, went back and looked at add again. It even gives the Appliance part number.I guess i did waste folks time. I'm a big guy with big shoulders,My Mistake. sorry folks.

 

look at the wheels on Georges car.pretty close. But i would bet those are one-off-hi zoot ,high $$$ wheels. still like them though.

 

****HAPPENSTHEYWILLGETOVERIT!!!

I never would have guessed they were Appliance wheels, but they do have an OEM look about them, iv'e seen people use a whole lot worse looking wheels on an old hot rod.
Congrats on figger'n out the technology, you will have to thank your tech. support dept.

 

I actually learned the copy and paste thing on my on....go figure.
she still hasn't mentioned the 32 yet though??

 

SHHHH, it will just be our little secret.

 

If you get really drunk .... And really squint in the dark with Absoulutly no lights on .... Your right... I bet they DO look similiar!

But sober in daylight one looks like 20" gen-1 corvette hubcaps and the other like rejects from the a-team van... . Mr. T sez " they both look ugly ...fool"

 

sooooo i guess i don't have to worry about you bidding on them right?

 

As your punishment, you have to trade me a certain newly found coupe you have for one of my old beater trucks........

 

Lol !dang i gots to pay attention!! these 12 hour days are telling on me. but i still don know anything about the wheels................................

 

Not to bust chops or anything, why aren't you unbolting unwanted things off the 3Window? Bob

 

unfortunately nothing is going to "unbolt".i'm afraid its all going have to be cut/torched off!
