I've been trying to find a set of wheels for my panel. I'm trying for the old school look and spend say,$150.oo a wheel? I was checking out the gray EMPI 5 spoks at CIP1. They were $118.oo now $158.oo plus shipping plus hardware! I found Centerlines and Anson Sprints at a local Pep Boys. American Racing makes them,but the lug pattern is 15X5X4.5. The conversion to metric makes it 2/100s off. I can find "German look" new wheels all over the net, but I'm trying to stay 70s true. I know a guy that knows a guy who will cut 1/4in. red stripes into a mounted tire for $10.oo each. See where I'm going with this. Any Help Guys? Hey Kefer got a good Weber Progressive laying around ?

If you've considered the A.R. wheels, why not have your hubs redrilled and run 12mm lug studs?? The difference in bolt circle and smaller stud will still fit through your rotors/drums. |
