If you're going to use wire wheels (I love them too BTW), why not use Dayton's? That way they could be knock-off's.

They're not *quite* the right look except maybe for a racer with meatballs etc., but I've always loved the look of the original plain Centerlines.
Vintage Wheel Works made a Minilite copy a few years back in various sizes. (Looks) No, they don't have them any more but they have an 8-spoke mag. They make two variants of the TT, straight and arched spoke.
My 16-inch TTDs (Vintage 45s, curved-spoke) are from them and I'm 98% happy with them.

I seem to remember (not 100%) mine were from "Precision Engineering" correct in every way except not pin drives.Was told to stay away from pin drives on a street car.

Other than for cost reasons, and seizing up if anti-seize isn't used when they're knocked on (I can see a street car going a year or more without a wheel removal, while race/track wheels hardly spend full days installed), why?

The reason I was told was because the pin holes in the wheels will eventually egg shape,once that happens the next thing if not detected could be wheel breakage.Besides that the wheels I chose look original to most who see them.Also knowing I was going to build a high horsepower bigblock and most of my driving would be on the street with stop and go traffic.It made even more sense to go the way I chose.To each his/her own,Right! |

I wanted a modern looking wheel, since this is my interpretation of an old car. But I also wanted some old/classic flavor. I had these made by Centerline. I deep dish and polished billit wheel, reminiscent of the Shelby 10 spokes.
They come supplied with a sorta polished center cap. I finished polishing it, and applied some translucent red powdercoat.

I lobe the Torque Thrusts and Minilites are cool. I just swapped from Chrome Cobra r's to traditional Hallibrands for the original look. But everybody to their own taste.

I am going for the HOT rod look, unique and a bit flashy. I like Foose rims, but I am not paying 4k for rims. I have a vette frame so I have to do the staggered rims, I have 17" now but I need bigger in the rear.

You don't have to pay $4K. I received a quote from Foose and Coddington for 17X8 and 17X10 rims with custom backspacing and they were both about $2500 delivered with center caps.
I thought about Torque Thrust rims. They look super nice but everyone has them. You might as well paint your car blue with a white stripe then! |
