<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: pxtx</div><div class="ubbcode-body">The newer flat spoke wheels came out later than you think. If I were to guess, I would say 2006-2008 or so.

Here are the newer wheels. Can you spot the differences? These are 2014 offering as you can see.






Here are some traditional spokes from 1997







Here is a set form 1994







The chrome isn't great on the old ones. What I would like to do is collect old centers when I can get them cheap. You can re-hoop them and re-chrome them. Maybe change the offset too. I'm not thrilled with this particular look, due to the large flat area- though I've seen original Cragars with it too. Just found these on ebay tonight but they show the whole re-hoop and custom offset thing. I still would rather rock these than the newer flat spokes- but I can't really explain why. Sometimes ego trumps logic.

Pxtx thanks so much for the comparison! I agree 100% with the ego statement lol! I love the rounded spoke really has that classic look. I've seen a few sets that need to be re chromed but some guys want stupid money for them. I may just hold out until I can fond some real clean originals! Thanks again.
