TWO MODELS AVAILABLE.

We have produced a revolutionary, patent pending 20” rim that replicates a 15” steel wheel with a 2 ½” section of whitewall tire attached. This unique design allows for the installation of today’s low-profile tires to create the nostalgic, old-school wide whitewall look, but have the performance of today’s modern sports cars. Our wheels are also compatible with the car’s original hubcaps to complete the original look.
All wheels are made from heat-treated 6061 T-6 Billet aluminum that is CNC milled to the finish details, including the raised logo on the pseudo-whitewall.

The Inner Barrel is 6061 spun-forged aluminum with a rolled lip—widths available from 8” to 12” in 1/2”
increments, for almost every application
The Outer Wheel is finished in a gray primer to be finished later to match each application
The Whitewall section is finished in a durable Alsa™ soft-touch paint—it has the durability of a powder coat,
but with a soft-feel of a rubber-like texture
The WheelWe have created a solution that allows us to place the valve stem in the factory position of a 15” wheel. A special channel is milled through the center of the billet outer rim–intersecting the valve stem at the original position of a 15” steel wheel valve stem, making the valve stem functional.

Steve,

Do you know what the backspacing is on your wheels?

VERY sharp looking!

reminds me of the 'portawalls' we used to have back in the 'day' to add whitewalls to tires.

I sure wouldn't want to 'curb' one of those fancy rims....

That would be a bummer. I'm not exactly sure what's going on here. I've seen wheels similar to this on the TV show Bitchin Rides but those had a hard metal painted surface I think. Probably a huge price tag as well.

"The Whitewall section is finished in a durable Alsa™ soft-touch paint—it has the durability of a powder coat,

The Bitchin Rides wheels are also EVOD wheels, one off so even more dinero

Considering your front and rear rims don't match this is a stunning combination! Great stance and love the stagger

The KOs look surprisingly good on that car. I didn't think they would, but was wrong.

Which chassis does that 62 have under it ?
What is the offset and back spacing?

Chassis concept chassis. Backspace on wheels is standard C4 since that's what chassis uses for suspension. There's a build thread on here about car. I sold it at Barrett Jackson Vegas 2015 so thread is a little older than that.

Thanks for all of the pictures guys. I think I am going to go with 15" x 7" Keystone Klassics with 235/70Rs

If you don't know the wheel you can see them here:

I don't know what these wheels are called, I have my original wheels and tires too... but I love the look of them. They have a late 60's date inside the rim and it took me a year to find new center caps for them.. The originals were metal caps that were pitted up, but I found plastic replacements in the 90's that made them look cool again.
