Reproduction Halibrands for CHEAP!

http://www.jdwheels.com/halibrand_replica.htm



If anyone knows how the quality is, let me know. I just ran across these & figured I'd post them up since there are some fans of vintage wheels on here. Sorry Limey, the 10" wheel only comes in a 4" BS.

Same place has these interesting looking Ion wheels:

I like both of those

Diggin the second ones big time. Would NOT mind having those on the Monte Carlo...

Its ok Rago I have mine that I have now what I always wanted already.............. and they are 5.5" backspace, the lil woman gave me permission to get the ones I have been wanting to upgrade to since my dumb a$$ sold them slots.....So I am happy with my prostars very happy even though the fronts are knock offs still look nice ...

my boss just bought a set of used "real" ones for his 34 plymouth. 1500.00 for 2 15x8 and 2 15x6 and all lugs. car is in the paint shop now,but wheels are ready to go on when its comes home.

Considering that 15x12's fit with 5.5" BS, I wonder how these 15x10's would look since they have 4" BS? Personally I feel that both sets are nice & not many others are out there that look this cool for this price.

you would have about a 1" overhang out side the fenders on the rear is all LOL This is a 4.25" backspace my dear Rago

Well i wonder how they will fit on a real car. LOL

Would these stick out the same a chevelle Limey?

yes even more with 4" Backspace

AIR SHOCKS! LoL, nevermind.

I know yours stick out, but how did 5" BS on a 12" wheel = this?



That's 7" out front compared to the 6" that a 10" wheel with 4" BS would give.

It's not just the rim offset that is the problem. Notice the rubber bands for tires on Tony's car vs. the balloons on Limey's and mine for that matter. The sidewall "bulge" is what creates interference. Tony's sidewall is almost straight up from the rim while the smaller diameter rims have tire sidewalls that stick out an extra inch or so.

Tonys was also custom made to that backspace

I realize his was custom made, but 12" wide with 5" of backspacing doesn't seem too hard to accomplish.

Bigred, I never thought about sidewall bulge. That makes more sense to me now.
