Old School "Hurst-style" Retro Wheels

I have been selling these cool "Hurst-style" wheels to the Pontiac guys for a couple of years now. I just sold a set to an Oldsmobile guy so I thought I should let members here know of the wheels.

They are available in 17-inch and 18-inch.



More information is on my site http://4mypontiac.com/Wheels.htm
I am also on Facebook as "Old School Wheels" or www.facebook.com/MusclecarWheels

Nice. Cast? Forged? 1 piece or 2 piece?

These are a cast wheel, designed and manufactured here in the USA by a small business with 20 plus years of operations.

The 7-inch wide wheels have 4 inches of backspacing and the 8-inch wheels have 4.75 inches of backspacing. A 17x9.5 wheel is also in the works.

Hurst wheels

While you are working on the 17x9.5 are you going to work on a 18x9.5 also? There are a lot more tire size options in 18" and a lot of people are going to them instead of the 17". Just a thought. Would probably be a good seller. By the way those wheels look great.

I wish, but unfortunately, there are no plans on a 18x9.5. The cost to machine the permanent molds in prohibitive.

I have yet to see any 60s GM or Mopar car that Hurst-style wheels don't look good on. Unfortunately us full-size 60s Olds guys have 5x5 bolt circles...

I don't remember ever seeing a set of Hurst wheels on a Ford product.

These wheels are Made in the USA and I have them available in most 5 lug patterns to fit GM A-Body and B-Body cars in 5 on 4 3/4 pattern and 5 on 5 pattern.

I have sold a set to a Ford guy, 5 on 4 1/2 pattern.

If you have a 5 lug pattern, I can have them made during the final CNC process.
