[ QUOTE ]
American 200-S are the same wheels that I ran on my Black Motion when I was driving it on the street. Those are my favorite wheels. Don't see too many people running them but I love the look. Pantera [/ QUOTE ] My car has been running on them since it was new. It's been "Day 2" since day one. This set has a Jan 1970 date code on the back.

Re: Vintage Wheels
Love those "Coke Bottles"...
Steve the first time I ever remember those wheels they were on a 72 T/A that my dad put 1/4's on for a guy back in the mid 80's. Hmmmm kinda like yours

Re: Vintage Wheels
D, I think you want to use that acid wheel stuff we use on the Satin Drag Centerlines..and a tooth brush,,is it not a Eagle product???
might be a good idea to tape off the lip with the special blue masking tape first so you dont loose the sheen you have

Re: Vintage Wheels
I'm not sure if anyone put up one of these yet. From Jan. '65 PHR
 If you look closely at the hub of the spinner you can see that the tapered edge is rather wide. This is the Rader style. Most spinners that M/T produced had a much narrower edge. Go to the M/T Rader wanted ad and compare to the pic of the wheel on my car. Just another dumb piece of trivia....  Verne

Re: Vintage Wheels
For comparison: here are the most common M/T spinners. The tapered edge is smaller than the Rader style. I've never actually seen the style of the one in the ad above, unless it said Rader.
 I've found a few other nice vintage ads for more wheels that I will try to post later. It seems that 1965 was a boom year for the industry. New "mag" wheels came out of the woodwork everywhere!  Verne

Re: Vintage Wheels
Here are some more interesting ones, all from June '65 PHR
Never heard of these guys at all. I think they were probably selling other people's wheels.  Here's another fly-by-nite outfit.  Here's a nice masculine name for you. Somehow I don't think it helped them sell any wheels, because I've never seen one. They have a "flavor" of a Keystone Kustomag, but I guess they just didn't catch on.  A name we all know, but wheels that seem a little strange.  I'm sorry, but I just had to throw this in. This was on the back cover of that issue and it's just too good to pass up.

Re: Vintage Wheels
Saw these at the recent Goodguys show in Hershey PA. They looked to be a one piece design including the center cap. Any ideas what they are?...BKH
