16" race wheels

Does anybody know of a source for 16" pin drive wheels? They would need to be for 6 pin hubs. I know Image Autoworks makes a set, but they are a little to showy for a race car.

Thanks for the help.

Try BBS, I think they make them for Trans-Am in 16"

Hi Chris,

The best bet is jongbloed wheels

He is a good friend of mine and makes the some of the best stuff out there.

Thanks for the info guys. Jongbloed seemed to have a nice selection, and they can do any width/offset. Plus they are American.

I just ordered a set of Jongbloeds last week.

I did an awful lot of checking, and they have everything I want. They are 17 inches, 9 inches front, 11 inches rear. 15.5 lbs.

I got the 301 centers, but they have Halibrand centers too. A real Cobra look.

The only downside is they are a little pricy. But you get what you pay for.

As with any light, racing type wheel, be extra careful on the street. Curbs and potholes become more intimidating.
