Does anyone know what wheels these are?

Here you go Julian, all the wheel companies were making them back in the day.

That was quick Thanks Matt!

A guy down the street from me restores and sells vintage wheels and probably has these in stock.

I put a set of Anson Sprint wheels that looked a lot like those on my 69 A12 Roadrunner in 1969.

Your shift in researching is starting to get me worried.

Me too ....... Hope Julian's not thinking of those wheels for the Imperial.

 

[detmatt]

Me too but I thought that might go without saying. He's obviously helping a friend with a B-body pick out some new wheels.

Uuuh, oooh.

Same but different

They fit as little as the turbine wheels I was looking for the other day. I'm just surfing around and sometimes I found something to which I have a question.

But, btw, I'm looking for nice looking wheels for the Imp.

I like these:




These are the stock wheels, chromed, I think.

Those top ones are a version of the classic Torqe-thrust wheels.

And by the way, I'm totally enjoying seeing the European take on American themes.

Several years ago, before the Beijing Olympics, I read an article about how the Chinese government was removing all the "anguished English" signs from the city so they wouldn't be embarrassed by improper usage. However, the author argued that the language wasn't wrong, it was just using English words with Chinese structures.

You're not trying to put on a European style wheel, like BBS or Ronal. Instead, you're looking at the US vocabulary with a different cultural perspective. It's interesting to see.

Ma Mopar got it right in my books with the wheel covers. I'm not apposed to some aftermarket wheels though but as of right now I haven't seen the right ones in this thread. Just my .02...

I know, most of you like the stock look but I prefer a sportier look.

If you have any good examples, bring it on.

Those are a nicely polished cheap knock off of a Torque Thrust.

That's impressive work.

He does great work and is a very busy guy because of it.

This is what always gets me no matter who says it.
"...looking for a sportier look"

You can't have a sportier American premium luxury car.
You can make it more American, more premium, more luxury.
You can't make it sportIER when there was no sport.

ok.... wrong word. I don't want a sports car. I will create the car I dreamed of. Sorry if you don't like it then...

I like the look of this car; a little bit lower, some nice wheels... nothing dramatic...

And yes, this look sporty to me.

I don't put 30" wheels on it, build a low rider or paint it orange...

Those wheels are sportier.
