Re: Vintage Wheels
 

Dan, that green M/T ad was in the April, 1967 Hot Rod. That would make a great garage poster wouldn't it?

Re: Vintage Wheels
 

Another wheel ad from the May, 1965 HRM is for the Rebel wheel.

Re: Vintage Wheels
 

Every time I pick up the May, '65 Hot Rod another wheel ad catches my eye. I think this is the last ad in the issue!

Re: Vintage Wheels
 

Hey guys having graduated high school in 1965 you'll have gone thru my childhood right here in this thread. There were so many wheels that I had forgot about that I want to thank everyone for keeping it going. And to all of those people that were lucky enough to have the money to actually own some of the wheels back in the sixties have pity on the ones of us that couldn't.

Re: Vintage Wheels
 

I couldn't afford mag wheels either as all of my cash went into the driveline. For the more impoversihed among us there was good'ol Cal Custom with their "Spider" dress-up kit for stock steelies. Hot Rod, May, 1962.

Re: Vintage Wheels
 

Anyone ever see a set of these? Looks like they're mounted on a Studebaker Avanti. HRM January, 1964.

Another low-buck alternative to expensive aftermarket wheels. HRM April, 1964.

Re: Vintage Wheels
 

The factories got the message and one response to the aftermarket wheel craze was Mercury's 1964 Comet Cyclone wheelcover intended to look like a chromed stock wheel. Were these wheelcovers made of metal? I seem to remember a neighbor's '65 Comet with these wheelcovers and I thought they were plastic.

Re: Vintage Wheels
 

American introduced the 200-S or "Daisy" wheel in 1969. My buddies and I called them "flower mags." Note the "hall of fame" wheels at the top of the ad. Torq-Thrust!

For my 1,801st post, a word from our sponsor (HRM September, 1960): Pick the LB groom that's best for your hair!

No wonder the women's movement happened. They were tired of constantly washing and changing pillow cases stained by hair goop. Anyone remember the Pomade scene in "Raising Arizona"???

Re: Vintage Wheels
 

Hey Bill,
Would it be ok if we left this thread as an historical archive for vintage wheels rather than links to wheels for sale? That could be in the classified section. I'd (personally) love to see this thread become a reference for the Day-2 wheels we all grew up with. Period stuff only...
Just a suggestion.... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Vintage Wheels
 

Hi Verne. No problem from me. I put the ebay link in only because there were some nice examples of vintage wheels that might make a good reference for someone. I have absolutely no interest (good or bad) with the seller. I would be happy to edit out the ebay links to clean up the post. Bill D

Re: Vintage Wheels

American 200-S are the same wheels that I ran on my Black Motion when I was driving it on the street. Those are my favorite wheels. Don't see too many people running them but I love the look.

Re: Vintage Wheels
 

what size do you want I see them from time to time. Pairs are usually how they are sold. send me a message and what you are wanting to pay and I will try to find you some this next few weeks. A few Swapmeets are happening soon.

On a camaro 14" fr and 15" on the back look tough and one of my favorites.

Re: Vintage Wheels
 

Check this out. NOS 200-S wheels with the plastic still on the the rims. Came with the center caps and lugs. The one on the left has darkened spokes. Apparently from not being boxed. What's the best way to restore the spokes on these? The difference is more obvious in person.

Thanks 427TJ. I agree, those wheels are the best! I wish American Racing would reproduce the correct version of that wheel.

You mean like this? This is the TTO Torq Thrust Original.

My car has been running on them since it was new. It's been "Day 2" since day one. This set has a Jan 1970 date code on the back.

Re: Vintage Wheels
 

Love those "Coke Bottles"...
Steve the first time I ever remember those wheels they were on a 72 T/A that my dad put 1/4's on for a guy back in the mid 80's.
Hmmmm kinda like yours https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: Vintage Wheels
 

D, I think you want to use that acid wheel stuff we use on the Satin Drag Centerlines..and a tooth brush,,is it not a Eagle product???

might be a good idea to tape off the lip with the special blue masking tape first so you dont loose the sheen you have

Re: Vintage Wheels
 

I'm not sure if anyone put up one of these yet. From Jan. '65 PHR

http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j3...65MTad0001.jpg

If you look closely at the hub of the spinner you can see that the tapered edge is rather wide. This is the Rader style. Most spinners that M/T produced had a much narrower edge. Go to the M/T Rader wanted ad and compare to the pic of the wheel on my car. Just another dumb piece of trivia.... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif

Verne

Re: Vintage Wheels
 

For comparison: here are the most common M/T spinners. The tapered edge is smaller than the Rader style. I've never actually seen the style of the one in the ad above, unless it said Rader.

http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j3...-TSpinners.jpg

I've found a few other nice vintage ads for more wheels that I will try to post later. It seems that 1965 was a boom year for the industry. New "mag" wheels came out of the woodwork everywhere! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

Verne

Re: Vintage Wheels
 

Here are some more interesting ones, all from June '65 PHR

Never heard of these guys at all. I think they were probably selling other people's wheels.
http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j3...n_SEwheels.jpg

Here's another fly-by-nite outfit.

http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j3...CteitzEqco.jpg

Here's a nice masculine name for you. Somehow I don't think it helped them sell any wheels, because I've never seen one. They have a "flavor" of a Keystone Kustomag, but I guess they just didn't catch on.

http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j3.../tn_Climax.jpg

A name we all know, but wheels that seem a little strange.

I'm sorry, but I just had to throw this in. This was on the back cover of that issue and it's just too good to pass up.
