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. Posted via Mobile Device |

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?

Re: What brand of wheel is this?
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.

Re: What brand of wheel is this?
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.

Re: What brand of wheel is this?
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.
