Aug. 22, 2018: Dear wheel customers, for the past 20 years I have been able to supply many rare & desirable wheels as evidenced below. I have built the following reference library of steel wheels which has helped many car enthusiasts – wheels I handled & sold. Today, I found out that my wheel supplier has exhausted their efforts & desire to continue to search & supply wheels for OUR needs. As of today, I will not be able to supply any more steel wheels for you – my customers – I am sorry. I will leave this page intact as a great photo library which many of you will undoubtedly be able to utilize – I wish you luck in finding what you need. All of my efforts now will be on the production of my mufflers. Thank you all for many years of patronage in your quest for the right wheels for your vehicle.
Sincerely, Eric S.
President & CEO

Rim / Wheel Width
Each tire has a specific rim width range on which the tire can be mounted. Failure to follow rim width recommendations may result in poor tire performance or possible wheel and/or tire failure.
Below is a quick reference chart listing each tire size and the acceptable rim widths for that size. (The chart does not show all sizes, but gives a good example) Choosing a wheel near the middle of the range will give a balance between ride quality and handling. A wider wheel will improve handling at the expense of ride quality, while a narrower wheel will improve ride quality at the expense of handling. Consider these compromises when selecting wheels.


 Sweet 1968 Shelby GT-500KR with 15x6” Shelby Wheels from us. (Thanks to Mike from New Mexico for this)
 Finally got around to having them put on the truck. (15x8” GM – White Powder Coated)
 I received the GM 15x7's in time to get on before the GTO Nats in Dayton. Here is a picture without the poverty hub caps. Looks like a Super Stocker from the 60's. Thanks, Paul Sanders
 Thanks to Tim Pontin of England for sending this photo showing reproduction "Plymouth Division" Dog-Dish poverty caps. Sweet '70 Sattelite!
 Eric, I purchased a set of steel wheels for my Chevelle from you 2 years ago and wanted to send you a picture. Thank you very much for the quality product I love this look on my car. If you would like you can use the picture on your website. Thanks again, Paul W.
