I know this pic is not real, but want to buy these wheels.

Anyone know who makes wheels like this ?

Pop Chevy

Wheels similar to that on the c-3 forum.

Link to discussion thread ?

I'm not sure that picture is even real. It doesn't look like it.
If you have to have them and spare no expense a company like EVOD can build them.
Bring your check book though.

i believe they may be old ET vector wheel.. haven't seen those in years. had some or real close on my 67 impala. wow over 40 years ago..

Those aren't Vectors. It's a modern take-off on the Vector idea, but those wheels are huge and the "ribs" come down and stop, leaving an outer "hoop." The old Vectors took the rib design, which was apparently borrowed from the knockoffs, all the way to the wheel edge.

I agree that the photo looks like a mock up and the wheels don't look real. Interesting idea, though.

Anyone have a picture of the old Vectors for comparison ?

The ones in the pic I posted are digitally rendered / not real.

I'm looking for the closet version I can buy, just haven't found who makes similar ones (in this size).

Front: P265/50R15
Rear: P295/50R15

And my '64 has flared fenders as well - so looking to mount / fit so that the wheel edge isn't radically inset or protruding from the body.

The original Corvette knock-off wheel was 15x6 and there have been reproductions forever but quite awhile back there was a 15x8 version built for the C3's. It's been awhile, maybe there's a set on eBay or Craigslist somewhere.

Who sells these ?!?

They look like they've been made recently (vs. in the 60's / 70's).

I had what I thought were Vectors on my custom'73 around 1982, and also a similar turbine with painted inserts for a short period on a custom '80 around 1987.

emanusa1

ill try n find out for you they are pretty nice.

emanusa1

the ones above you are referring to are ET's and ET II's
then there's Permacast on bottom pic with a cool 70's truck
Good luck, Ed
