Anyone running old school slots like Ansen or any Cragers on your mopar race cars. Can you post pics if you got them? Do most of you guys just use the new stuff? Does this old stuff not hold up?

They are timeless in my opinion....the rears are readily available to find...but the 3.5 fronts arent easy to come by. I love the looks of them and they are the finishing touch for nostalgia... Here's our 64 Valiant wearing them....

Ansen 15 X 3 1/2 with a 4" bp I picked up at a garage sale for $50. Ya gotta keep a sharp eye There's a guy who shows up at the local swap meets with a set of 15 X 3 1/2 Super Tricks with a 4" bp. At $500 for the pair he gets to keep hauling them around. I don't need them THAT bad. Be really careful buying wheels at swap meets: My estimate is 2/3's of the wheels being sold are junk (bent, cracked, etc). And take your own measuring stuff, as some knobs will tell you ANYTHING to make a sale.
If You Can't Be Good, At Least Be Colorful

The one's our our 64 Valiant.... Are 4.5 BP...We found them on a 69 Super Bee that had a Hemi in it...the car had a wiring fire in 71 and burnt the engine compartment and interior up. The guy never got rid of it. His nephew sold us the wheels after he passed....but would not sell the rest.....so ours are pretty low milage.

Satin Centerlines here, early '80's I'd guess been on there since I'd bought the car. Probably one of the least expensive and readily available new.
