Rims

Rims are only the part that hold the tire; the hub is what bolts to the axle. They are usually purchased together and called a wheel.

Having said that, in the two wheel world rims and hubs are almost always purchased separately accompanied by spokes. Same for some European cars.

We do have rims in the South. They sell for about $2,500 a piece and are bolted to a car worth about $1,000

Having said all that I really like your wheels! I'd bet they are custom made.

Just feeling feisty today...so much for my humor.

I thought someone previously said they were 17" rims custom made for VS.  Here's link - see comment from Troy-

DrClock uses a similar looking rim on several builds.

That is correct.  They were custom made for Kirk when he owned Vintage Speedsters, but are not available from Greg in Hawaiian Gardens or Justin in Arizona, at least they weren't the last time I inquired. 

A few years back Kirk I ordered me one replacement for the front, as I recall it took 6 weeks and $380 from Mexico City.  99% sure they are Chevy bolt pattern so the choices are almost endless.

Thanks Troy,
That’s what I’m running across my rims are in Great shape but I just wanted a extra set just in case something happened to one.
Thanks, Arden

Thanks Wolfgang

Kirk was buying large quantities of them.  Even if you were able to order a set, they would most likely set you back several thousand dollars, just to have them on the shelf.

I like the rims would like to have a front & back one as a back up and a set of center caps
