Re: Vintage Wheels
Interesting TJ....the M/T ad mentions "all welded"...Vernes are riveted...they are earlier M/T wheels...I have a NOS set of them too...
[ QUOTE ] The Mickey Thompson Challenger wheel was introduced in '65, as cast inside the back on one of the spokes. This one is 14x6. A variety of bullets, centercaps and spinners were offered. Unlike the new Radir repops, these wheels have a chrome rim and a cast aluminum center section that is rivited to the rim. Sealant around the rivit heads or a tube is required due to leakage.

Re: Vintage Wheels
Another from Verne
[ QUOTE ] This ad is from a '65 1/2 Honest Charlie's catalog. The backs of the wheels are cast "Wheel Centre Co." There is nothing that says "E-T". At first, "E-T" was just the style name of the wheels, and then later (I guess) became the name of the company. Verne   [/ QUOTE ]

Re: Vintage Wheels
What a classic look. Five-spokes with whitewalls on a '62 Impala SS. Blue brake drum too! Let me guess: exhaust cutouts behind the front wheels, nose-high stance, chrome-reverse wheels in front--am I getting close???
