    try Wheel Smith out, if im correct he is a HAMBer also. im looking at an add in the Rod and Custom right now and his link is thewheelsmith.net and his phone number is 800-854-8937 the add shows a wheel like the one you are inquiring about.

  4. Yeah- the wheel vintiques series 64 comes with the factory center, and they will custom offset/ reverse the rim for a little extra.

    On their site, they state these wheels must be used with tubes.

    Why is that?
     
  11. What's an honest opinion here-- about the O.E. style chrome wheels from the smaller guys. Are they better quality than W.V.'s??
    I don't think I've ever seen a set as nice as Pitts64- and I doubt that the WV's is that detailed- but costs alot less for a set.
    Who's is better?

  13. Early Wheel makes very nice stuff- but the closest available style they sell are "Smoothies".

    Wheels of steel is out of business... He has closed up the shop. He called me about buying his inventory 2 months ago.. He is focusing on his chrome shop now.. Jason.

    I run a full time hot rod shop and the wheel company.. I kind of stick to the bread and ****er wheels.. I get one call for single bolt pattern vented wheels for every 100 for smoothies or rally wheels.. Just can't justify bringing in a bunch more stuff... Jason.

    I think a LOT of those Smoothie customers would buy OEM style 5 hole if they were reasonably close to the same price range.

    On that "safety bead" thing with tubeless tires;
    I cramped a tubeless tire on '55 Olds wheels against a curb just a ittle bit parallel parking once and the tire bead dismounted and the rim ate gutter instantaneously.
    Yea I had a spare, thank goodness.
