Re: Rare Hurst wheels
I saw that car at my hometown car show. The wheels were very nice, either repop's or reconditioned originals. It has some other interior items, gauges etc. whihc were not period correct but the car does look nice enough for most.

Re: Rare Hurst wheels
Here's a brief history on the Hurst Dazzler. Hurst Wheels Doesn't sound like strength was a problem at all.

Re: Rare Hurst wheels
Strength wasn't an issue at all. NHRA approved/certified them after seeing the tests Hurst subjected them to. George Hurst made them almost in response to all the half-a$$ed wheels being cast at the time that were ostensibly for high performance cars but were weaker than the stock rims.
They were very spendy at the time, probably 2-3 times the going rate of most of the wheels being offered. They weren't very successful at the time, probably due to cost, but are obviously highly prized now. (Kind of like Pink Hemi Cudas and the like....)
