Race Cars With Old School Rims - 11/26/10 08:43 PM

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?

My car is loaded with "old stuff"...if it ain't broke,why replace it??

These Cragar's are 30 years old at least.

Got old school Centerlines on my Roadrunner and they are still holding up fine. 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.

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....

I agree, I have been conisdering some ansen slots for my cuda. I got 15" rallys on it now. Im looking to go 15x10 out back and 15x4 or 5 up front. I like they way they look on the old school drag cars from the 60-70s

Old school I guess.. I bought them over 20 years ago. Just regular old polished Centerlines.

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

Re: Race Cars With Old School Rims - 11/26/10 09:39 PM

I got you on the cash part. I was looking at the ET rims and they are like $300.00 a rim! They do look good, dont know how much they weigh though?

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.

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.

These are Vintage American 200S. The 10" were easy to find. Finding the 4" is another story. They used to run them in Top Fuel and Trans-Am. I figured a Nostalgia car should look nostalgic.

Re: Race Cars With Old School Rims - 11/29/10 02:00 AM

I like satin SuperTricks more than the polished ones that have been on my car forever; they just look serious in satin. It originally had Flys & Spyders, and I put a set of Flys on it in the pickled & oiled color like most magnesium parts are.
There are a couple of Early Bs on the board with anodized Centerlines or Tricks, and that's a very cool look; always wanted to do that to the Centerlines I have for my Roadrunner.

Re: Race Cars With Old School Rims - 11/29/10 02:57 AM

This picture is probably 1996-1997. These were 14" SB pattern wheels. The fronts were Indys and I think and the rear were a different brand. I think I was into a set of 4 for $50 or around there. Then a friend of my dads gave me another set for the rear that were an inch wider(14x8) for free. So I had an extra set for my slicks. Lack of a good DOT tire and the want for better brakes moved me to the large bolt pattern and I traded these wheels off to a friend. I would love to have another set of 15" slots for my street setup.

EDIT, I remember the brands now. The fronts were shelbys and they were more of a rough cut and didn't polish up as good as the rears. Both sets of rears I had were US Indys and polished up real nice as they were machined alot smoother.
