I am currently building a berrien nostalgia, and considering wheel options.
I have a ball joint beam, and an irs rear, both converted to wide 5 pattern.
Trying to avoid adapters for various reasons.
I have searched through every wheel thread I can find, but still don't see any of these wheels on a buggy.
Any pics of these on buggies?
"Smooth"
"Modular"

15x7 rear with zero offset, 15x5 front about +1 (as far outward as they could put the centers)

The "5 spoke-star" version from CWI?
(Their website photo does not show the black rivets like yours have.)
(Still one of the cleanest looking buggies...) |

Yes. It is really just triangular cutouts. I had a hard time finding a good side shot. I did find one picture with the new mini-t body while I was installing it. I'm not running center caps on the Mini-T to pay homage to the Ford '36-'39 wide five pattern still favored by some traditional hot rodders.

Those resemble the 5 spoke style that I purchased from Summit for my last buggy.
Looking for something different this time.
Anyone run either of the wheels above?
Any Photos? |

Pretty similar yes, but an affordable steel wheel. |
