Will be tossing them when they are worn out.

Just a question??? Do you think wheel "love" directly correlates to owner's age??? For instance, slots and cragars do nothing for me, nor do 22" rims, but I am highly turned on by Centerlines and Weld wheels, which were popular in the 80's when I started driving.

Sometimes I read these posts and think to myself I must be hanging round with some old farts...LOL. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: ( and you know I am just ribbing). :lol: :lol: :lol:

I am 43 by the way.......

I think I may have ended up with them. If my memory serves correct, you sold them to a buddy of mine maybe 2 to 3 years back.

warren??

Must not have been yours. The ones I have came from your area. Just do not see very many 4 lug 5.5's and thought my buddy got them from you.

Sure have. I use the center cap to mark the locations, center punch it, drill and tap.

Just go slow, you are dealing with a cast aluminum.

I am 43 by the way....... Some people want to make their buggies look period correct. Back in the day (late 60s/early 70s) it was mostly widened steelies, slot wheels and Cragar SS wheels. Here's some I have for sale in my classifieds if anyone is interested.

I'm also kind of partial torwards slots.
