Thread: Pizza cutters?

Made you look.

Does anyone know of any 18X4.5's out there other than the Billet specialties 'Altered' or the Radir 12 spoke (which is 18X3's). I love the look of the gasser wheels but dont like that I cant match them with rear wheels.

I spoke with Billet Specialies and hoped they could make anything simliar to thier Bonneville's or Lobecks in a skinnier wheel for the front. They said they cant make them smaller.

I'm about to cut up the 36 and make it an open wheel hot rod so I'm sure I'm going to have some questions for the folks that have been there and done that. I know absolutely nothing about Model A solid axle steering. Took me 2 years to make up my mind. I've finally made up my mind. I think.

Dave..................If this car is going to see mostly street, then going with the "pizza cutter" wheels on the front is not the best idea. Although I do like that look too, think about taking an off ramp at 50 mph with those tires. The tire could buckle under the bead and you're SOL.That skinny of wheel is great for going in a straight line all the time, but not very good on cornering. Using a 5-6" rim on the front will allow you to match up front and rear wheels as well.
Am not trying to talk you out of what you want, just giving you some things to think about
