What do you think?

Got any pics of the backside?

New rim with an old center?

Got any pics of the inside like this..

More pics please

Yes sir, I am having them made locally. They look pretty good to me, anything glaring stick out to you guys?

I appreciate the feedback......

Here you go Terry.......

Look real good from that angle
Do you supply anything or are they all new

They do look good

This is what I don't understand... The 15x7 Rallye wheel is already produced so why is it so hard to put a different center in it? I realize they wouldn't be perfect but it sure would keep me from wasting more money on a stupid steel wheel. Plus if there was a "decent alternative" I would be more likely to sell my orig date coded wheels to the guys that really should have them. At some point I am sure someone will see the light.Would also keep the counterfeiter's at bay

Lets see 1000 for one wheel or 1000 for 4 wheels...Hmmmmmmmm

Looks good,will it put an end to the 1K per wheel people?

If they are so close that they are indistinguishable, yes, greatly. The easier they are to spot, the lower impact they will have on originals. So far I haven't seen any that are perfect, but there are some that are getting pretty close and tough to spot if you don't know what details to look for.

Probably not. This barrel is close, but the shape is not correct on the face. The other issue is for anyone to get the stampings correct is big dollars.

Accurate reproductions can be made, but no one is willing to pay the price.

Just my 2 cents.

Please elaborate?


All I am going for is aesthetics and a 90% savings. Couldn't care less about stampings....

The shape is close, but dimensions are off slightly. It is noticeable, but it is close to the real thing. Certainly a nice alternative to the real thing.

Old guy at Carlilse has been making these for a long time . Last set I bought was 180.00 for four.

Unfortunately, the incorrect shape of the outer rim shell stands out like a sore thumb, especially when painted.

Original for comparisons

So you are saying the in-bend (sorry for lack of a better term) is the issue here? That's what I am seeing.

Scott - where the hell did you get a 4/20/71 wheel from? The last Hemi car?

Morty,

Good eye! It's not mine but there are 4 identical ones and a 5th I've seen elsewhere dated one day later.

Have you noticed the elephant in the room? No Pentastar on any of them, and these are 100% real wheels. Never blasted, never welded on, shown in raw steel that I personally stripped pff with paint stripper,

Once upon a time I thought I saw someone on here who'd made their own 450 look-a-likes using the outer hoops from 15x7 Olds Cutlass wheels?
