I have a set of original Ansen wheels, and have noticed that on my set, the valve set is in one the windows of the wheel. It actually sits behind the face. I did a search in the Gallery and no one elses' wheel are like this. I,ve also been told they have a different offset than most. All 5 of mine are like this. To add to this, one of them has webbing behind the spokes like an OG EMPI 5 spoke? Can anyone help me on this one?

I can't help you but I just wanted to comment on your wheel. I almost wish I bought a set of those instead of BRM's.

This thread has been around longer than that section.
Still looking for the answer to my original question.

What is it going to take to fit these on the front of a '63 bus. Most likely running stock front drums and bug rears?
