Maybe we can make a forum order at their shop that we maybe get 10 or more wheel sets together? I would take 2 wheel sets. Who is in the game?

The Going Thing

They're billet 17X7 one-off to replicate the 1967 hubcaps. They are not the legendary-Drake wheels Illustrated. They're 3K a set.

JD

tires are 245/45/17

So, where can they be ordered from?

No, Corey, it is not.

If it was I would know all I would like to about those outrageously beautiful wheels!!

I remain very impressed with the wherewithal of whomever came up with that brilliant idea. I want one just for display since I don't have a '67 (yet!).

Corey meant Keith not Kieth...
It is my personal opinion he was referring to the fake / Mustang of the 'The Going Thing' and the identity theft of 67400F7A00171

  So, if you are going to spend 3K on some custom wheels in the 17" size, could you not order them to look a lot more like a Magstar?

Hello Rod,

This is a 17" wheel that looks pretty darn close to a Magstar.  Certainly close enough for driving around with current high performance tires and sitting in the garage without having to worry so much about flat spotting repro Speedway 350 tires.

Thanks,
Eric

Hello Doug,

The wheel was made by Mike Stallings.  He used to own Wheel Vintiques.  He now owns Circle Racing wheels.  Last time I had any contact with him was in September of last year and he was in the middle of moving from Commiefornia to Texas.  Let me know if you want his phone number.

Thanks,
Eric

Those Calicommies!

Do you have a picture of it on the car? It's really nice.

I've seen the 16" ten spokes.

Hello Doug,

Unfortunately, I do not.  I do have some photos of the wheels on a '67 Shelby convertible tribute car.  I hope these help you.

Thanks,
Eric

They do. Too much wheel. Problem solved. Thanks.
