new vintage looking slotted wheels?

[DonsBolt]

OK I have done a little research and basically was a pest. think I found the person we should call.

Steve Zebert at American Racing at 1-800-421-5800 x 4031
He is incharge of the Ansen Sprint wheel so lets all call him and get them to make the wheel for us, all the other older ford truck, and even the old Jeep CJ's

Lets pester him so much that they won't have any other choice but to make them for us.

Any progress on this front?

Well I am amazed Steve Zebert actually called me back today. He seamed to understand my concern, but still doesn't think there is enough demand to make a new mold for us. However he gave me the name of the person who is incharge of the offroad wheels.

I just talked to the other guy who is incharge of the offroad wheels, and while he doubts he can do anything for us at this time, he might be able to do something for us next year.

I have his e-mail and I will be our contact between the Bronco world and him. I am going to e-mail him this thread so he can keep a eye on the interest. There might even be a slight possibility that they could make a 8.5 inch wide wheel for us.

So if your interested in the Stroppe style wheel make sure you speak up. The more interest we can shoow him the better our chances.

One of the few items missing from mine is the wheels. So given the near impossibility of finding originals I would REALLY like to have the option to buy a set of new ones that are at least close. 15x8.5 would be sweet! I don't recall the offset of the original Stroppe mags but if this gets serious Andrew Norton could tell us/them the exact specs.

Just to let you guys know....


Keep your wheels. I got a set of these for my wheels. They are the nicest lug nuts!! Guaranteed not to rust, chip and/or peel.

US Indy 15X8.5 with a 1 degree positive offset, Thats what the Stroppe wheels are. They are a hard to find Item with the 1 degree positive offset.

One _inch_ positive offset.

I may be selling a complete set of FIVE of these slots soon. They are 1" pos offset and are 15x7s. They are in the pics in My Gallery.

That offset looks WAY wrong for Stroppe US INDYs. Not enough backspacing.

 

[dedgar]

maybe if we pester American racing, we could do a mass buy. I bet we could easily buy 100 sets!

 

[tejayandtina]

Depending on price, I'd be interested.

Just e-mailed the guy and they are 15 X 10 rims, not Stroppe rims. He is looking to make money for his Jeep ;D Read his user name %)

 

[73stallion]

yeah, saw that. look at the tires, they look like they're origional to the rims!

still, they're hard to find.

 

[broncolove]

Bet you someone will pay big bucks for them thinking they are getting stroppe rims. Toms Bronco parts put a set on there a month or so ago as Stroppe rims, and they were not, they were 15x7 and they sold for close to $500.00

They sold for $660!!! I told the guy they weren't Stroppe wheels early in the auction, but he didn't change his description.

Yea I knew they went for some big cash. I emailed them too, and they never replied back or changed the discription.

Are you allowed to bid on your own Ebay auction listing? I figured that would cause problems ??
