need some help identifying my wheels
« on: February 25, 2010, 04:35:01 PM »
I'm not exactly sure what kind of wheels these are,  but I'm looking at selling them, so I'd like to figure out what they are so I can determine their value,  probably not much more than $100 tops due to all the rust/lack of shinyness on the chrome.

I've seen them on some trackers that I've bought. they are probably 8" wide with a little offset.

I'm not sure how wide they are.    after a little looking though, I found they're Cragar super spoke chrome model rims.   Mine I suspect are 5.5"  as they have the stock tire width on them.   

I only know I dont like them, and I'm selling em to get some rubber on my stock rims.

I've no idea if it can be done, but I LOVE having my hood swing back like it does.  that was a stroke of brilliance.       I suppose if you can obtain some hood hinges from a sammy, you can make it so with some fab work.   

Bentsammy,  despite my love of getting dirty,  I take pride in keeping my vehicles looking as good as I can.  well, short of the rust holes.

I saw a guy at a mudfest with a 2 door who had just welded and painted some regular door hinges on his to allow the hood to do that. Looked a little redneck but it is the same concept. I'm sure it could be dome to look good. They make stainless steel gate hinges, bolts through the hood?

theres a lot of companies that make that exact style of wheel....I work in a tire factory and have seen them come in by Amercian Racing, Cragar, and a few others, it should be stamped on the wheel itself if you take the tire off. You could take those down and have them bead blasted or sand blasted, clean them up and polish them and they are worth 3 times as much!

Thanks,   I didnt realize there were MANY companies making this wheel style.    but sandblasting them and polishing them up again is absolutely on my agenda,  then gettng rid of them.   for me, they simply dont flow with my vehicle's style.
