    Hey Don (itoldyouso) Rader Wheels

     



    I saw in the torque thrust wheel post you had mentioned the old Rader wheels.......thought this might be of interest.

    Funny thing, since I decided to change direction on my 37 (and the wheels I currently have on the truck will not work with 5 4 1/2 bolt circle of the Dana) I've been kind of keeping an eye out for a set of Raders.

    I rememeber in the 70s giving those darn things away

    That's funny, Mike. You rarely see a set with the 5.5 BP. Too bad the outer rims need rechromed, but I guess that is to be expected after 46 years. He says Thunderbolt, but the BP would be different on those, so I guess he is just saying that as a point of reference of the types of cars that ran Raders back then.

    Thanks for posting those.

    Don

    Charlie it's more a thing of a bit different style and offset than the bolt cricle.

    raider wheels

     



    I have a pair of wheels like that they are like the ones used on the original batmobile by George Barris. I would take a whole lot less than $550.00.
