    Halibrand 14x6

     



    They're no longer supplied by Halibrand, but I want a pair of 14x6 aluminum Sprints with a 3.5" BS with 5 on 4.5" bolt circle.
    Anyone?

    Have you considered Real Rodder wheels (formerly Real Wheels, Halibrand copies made by Eric Vaughn)? http://www.realrodderswheels.com/ALUMINUM%20WHEELS.htm about half way down the page.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    Actually, I hadn't. It's a nice copy, but pricey for a knock off. If I come up empty, I may have to consider it as an alternative.

    The irony is that Real Rodder makes a better wheel than the current owner of Halibrand Performance (granted, they don't make the size you want anyway).

    I have Rodmasters on it now (a pretty good Hal copy, too), but the 15x5's just don't give it the rake I want. I'd hate to have to put these on the kids '63 Econoline and take back the Rodlites to get the right "big and little" look again.

    He responded and doesn't have "copies", just magnesium. Been there, done that, too much hassle. The search continues.....
