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? Don Street/Strip 73 Barracuda

I'm 29 years old and I am willing to be they are older than me! There is nothing wrong with them but I would rather have newer style wheels just for the look aspect. Don't really care for these old school ones. 6322029-'68Roadrunnerpics001.jpg (583 downloads)

I love the looks of them and they are the finishing touch for nostalgia... Here's our 64 Valiant wearing them....

Replacing them was on my wish list for many years but the almost $2K price tag for an up to date set of wheels stopped me. I always seemed to find another place in the car to put that cash chasing an ET Jim

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. 6322218-RMariano2.jpg (369 downloads) If You Can't Be Good, At Least Be Colorful

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.
