Halibrand wheels? Still in business??
 

Is anybody who is close to halibrand wheels? I was looking wheels at their website many of them were "temporarily out of production" ??

Are they still in business or what ?

I tried getting ahold of them a year or two ago. Sent emails, left messages, etc. Never heard anything back. But I think I saw them with a set up at SEMA. So who knows.

I just gave up, I'm not trying that hard to spend money.

Not sure about Halbrand either but Billet Specialties makes a beautiful billet version of the classic Halibrand and www.ETWheels.com is still going strong with some great looking classic styles that are similar but a little more aggressive in various diameters.

Good luck and let us know what you find.

Try TeamIII they might have what your looking for I found them many years.

They have very similar pin drive wheels etc...

Thanks guys for the tips. I finally got somebody on the phone and they told it took several months to get -their best know wheel-kidney 5 from foundry...??? :rolleyes: How can they run business like that:question:

because the foundry burned , and they are just getting back in business .

Check out Real Rodders Wheels. I just bought a set and got good service.

Another great source for the halibrand style wheels is Richard Oben at North Racecars

I had a set of PSE wheels on my Cobra replica and they looked great.

But now i would need something to cover ugly drums in a "old shcool" project. American racing has salt flats but i think they are not doing it at 18" ?

Good tip! Just the right wheel. I will ask do they make it bigger.

Hey man do you have any more pics of those wheels on the vette? I have been looking for good pics of those online forever but haven't found any. I am leaning towards those for my Nova project.
