| Are there any front brakes on the car? The picture isn't the best. They look like chrome spindle mount wheels that were used on sandrails in the 70's. |

Jackman spindle mounts. You can't run these unless you take the front brakes off of your car.
Not a good idea. |

They are Jackman spindle mounts, that were chromed.
That lowlight had discbrakes in the rear and it drove like a dream... |

I wouldn't want to drive it on the street without front brakes. Driving like a dream and stopping fast and straight are 2 different things. I doubt if there is a State that wouldn't require 4 wheel brakes on that Ghia to be street legal. |

What fun would it have been if it were legal!?
Lets not make this another spindlemount bitchfest thread. |

There is nothing wrong with spindle mount wheels on the street as long as they have brakes.
