Anyone know who made the wheels on this thing? Ansons, maybe? Big-n-little 16.5"s are *****in!

 

[bucks77ford]

Not sure who made em, but they are awesome and too bad they are no longer reproduced.

 

[BKW]

Look like Cragers.

 

[Mil1ion]

They are simply called MODS

a lot of wheels that were of MODULAR Design got that nickname

 

[nobodyspecial]

They are probably Ansen Mags (or a knock off)

Not sure who made em, but they are awesome and too bad they are no longer reproduced.

Check out American Racing Ansen Sprints. Not sure if they make them in an 8 lug.

Actually, a modular wheel is an assembled wheel of 2 or 3 pieces. Those are commonly referred to as "slots" or kidney bean wheels.

Here are my 16.5" slots, recently polished. They were made by Superior Industries in Van Nuys, California in the 70s or 80s.

^ Those are nice, I like the way the valve stem is protected

Those SuperDrags are SOOO cool! Man, if I could find a set of 16.5" x 10"s and 6"-somethings for that 'big-n-little' look, I'd snap 'em up in a heartbeat.

And that AKH site has some GREAT stuff. I've got a set of vintage magnesium wheels for one of my hot rod projects and that stuff is getting rare as hen's teeth...

I am putting a similar wheel on my truck. Going through AKH wheels.

 

[Evan's f250]

yes, they are called slots, made in 7o's, thts what i have on mine

 

[LEB Ben]

Dang...those slots almost make me wanna swap out the Alcoas I have on Red.

 

[Fellro]

Had an old 76 Chev that had them, went with the truck many moons ago. ET was another company that made them, as well as American Racing. I still have a set for my Chevelle.

Those Alcoas are MINE!!!!!!!

^^^Nu-uh...the alcoas would then serve duty on Thunder. But you can have the Eagles from Thunder...and I thought you wanted the American Racing wheels on the Bronco too...but I have to get the turbines done up first.

I'd rather the Eagles off of Thunder than the ARs... I never lnew that was an option!

 

[LEB Ben]

^^^Well...If I don't get the slots, you don't get the eagles.

I see how this works...

 

[LEB Ben]

You've also seen how long it's taken me to get to work on the turbines. Hell, until a few days ago I forgot I even had them until I got looking through my gallery.
