<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: VintageMusclecar</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Can someone give me a crash course on these wheels?

Anyone have pics they can post up?

What sizes/back spacings were these available in, and are they hard to find today? </div></div>

Numerous companies made them. They were an inexpensive wheel for the entry level market.

I have a 1976 Superior catalog and they had a full line of them-they were called Superior Typhoon Superlug (unilug) &amp; also &quot;Chrome Steel Dish&quot;(direct bolt pattern)-came in anything from 13x5.5 import to 15x10 to 6 &amp; 8 lug RV. The 14x6, 14x8, 15 x7, 8 and 10's etc came is standard and reverse(deep dish) offsets.
They came in either chrome or paint.

The 15x8's 4 3/4 bolt pattern with cap were $19.80 wd/jobber price and 5 lug nuts were .69 cents LOL (1975 price sheet)

My local Harts dept store were selling them for $19.99 any size in the late 70's-approx 1977-1978. Not sure when they were discontinued.

I had them on my 57 Chevy. The guy I bought them from said they were Mickey Thompsens. I really liked them on the 57. I had it painted LeMans blue. All that in 1969.

Same here. That is how I remember these cars-when they were fixed up Malibu's, Sattelites, 318 Dusters,

I betcha that Malibu has been an SS for years and the current owner doesn't have a clue.
