Wow!! Those are cool! Really not that expensive when compared to the modern "bling bling" ghetto style horse drawn carriage sized wheels that are being sold for small fortunes....
Those look like those gorgeous Bivens wheels that Jim Ward has on his car. Suhweet!
Thanks Luke. I believe you are right about them being (Alex) Bivens (West Coast Haus) wheels. If not, they are a very close CNC clone and at about the right base price. I've been very pleased with mine.
Brooks Walton has a set of Satin finished Bivens on his IM Speedster that look just right to me. George Brown was the first SOC member to have some cut.... I just followed his build list on most of my Speedster.
One advantage is the unsprung weight improvement.... they are about 6 to 7 lbs. less per corner than equal sized steel wheels. Here is an interesting comparison of different 356 wheels. (Scroll to the bottom for driver comments) http://www.356registry.org/Tech/wheels.html Fuchs are even lighter!
The price listed on Samba is a good one for Bivens.
