HURST Aluminum Wheels
hvychev,
Great looking wheels and tires!
Cool find. Mount them on the wall ..... art.
George Hurst unveiled his superior strength aluminum wheels in January 1965.
They were a 14x6 wheel that were made in several variations.
The lug hole area between the spokes could have a “webbed design” like hvychev wheels, or a non web design like my set.
Also that same area could be a thick shank, or thin shank design.
My set is the thin shank which requires a shallow depth Hurst wheel lug.
The spokes were finished in full polish, or semi polished.
I acquired this Unrestored set in 2012. They are a matched GM 4.75 set with consecutive serial numbers stamped under the caps.
Purchased in 1966 by the Original owner for his GTO.
After 4 years on the car he removed them, applied heavy wax and stored in burlap sacks for over 40 years.
BTW, hot wheels by Mattel started in 1968.
Chris.
