Ansen slot wheels

[Ohio Bronco 21]

Anyone on here sporting 17 inch Ansen Slot rims? If so, any pics?

Heck, I didn't even know Ansen was still in business. Wonder if it's the same company or if someone picked up the name more recently?
I can remember back in the seventies, when the Ansen "Sprint" was one of the wheels to have!
Can't wait to see pics too. If anyone has them.

you can buy them. I may. I hoped someone might have pics on a bronco with 33's or 35's

American Racing Equipment now owns the name Ansen, and reproduces the famous slot mag. I looked into them a while back, and found the following:

1. The biggest issue seems to be the center bore, which is too small to clear the front hubs on a Bronco. Some people have had them machined bigger to clear, and I think one poster even did it himself with a Dremel tool or something.

2. American Racing doesn't seem to have any interest in answering questions. No link to contact them, and the web site just says "see your dealer." (Ideally that dealer would be familiar with Broncos and would order one wheel for a test fit.)

Well, that sucks. Those would be perfect on an EB.

They used to have a distribution center over on Junction Ave here in SJ, where the guys seemed to be fairly knoweledgable about their stuff.
I might be over in that area this week too, so can stop by to see if they're still around

A set of those in 17" would be sweet on a modernized Stroppe clone

I bought a set for the Stroppe that I built for Rally Racing in Europe. I got 6 of them in 15x8 and had the center machined professionally. Worked great!
