What brand of wheel is this?

I know this is an artists conception of this truck but I am wondering who makes a wheel that looks like this?

Anyone have an idea?

Thanks,
Scott

might actually get my truck back on Friday if i'm in town.

Re: What brand of wheel is this?

I don't know of any wheels that look like that with a beauty ring.
Centerline makes an aluminum wheel that would look similar to that if you painted the center.
I don't remember the name of it but it is the same wheel that Delmo modifies to use a stock center cap(he has at least a couple builds on here, Grey Goose and Nacho in the 67-72 build section).

From reading his build threads I'm pretty sure he would point you in the right direction in finding these wheels.

Wheel Vintiques, Pete Paulsen, Stockton Wheel, etc. make steel smoothies of many different widths and backspacking for use with center caps and beauty rings.

Re: What brand of wheel is this?

Thank you for the information, it gives me a starting place to look.


If I can ask one more question.......

Any idea what the front bumper is off of or which truck bumper would most closely approximate this one?

thanks again...

Re: What brand of wheel is this?

Since it's a rendering, it could be just a case of artistic license...maybe a stock bumper flipped?

It is hard to say what it might be.

One guy sait he thought it was fashioned after a mid 70's front bumper...maybe?

I see that the bolt holes have been welded closed and ground off flat. Nice clean look.

The top looks chopped and the rear fenders widened also. To run that big of a back tire you would also need an inner fender well. Someone on here used a cut down one from a fleetside.

That's a nice rendering, the bumper looks like a stock one, just smoothed out. The wheels look like steel smoothies with baby mooon caps and rings.
