Finally got my Halibrands on
I've had these brand new Halibrand 5-spokes forever. This winter, I got around to installing my new offset trailing arms, fiberglass springs, and had my rear wheel bearings done. Here are a few pictures of the new wheels.
And a picture of our daughter taking a picture of the new wheels...

I am so glad you posted this. I am just now considering those same rims. Are they the 15x8 size? Did you order them direct? I have seen their on line store and just about ready to spring for some but want to be sure I get the right backspacing. Please post the details and what tire size you have, and if you've had any rubs.

They make those 10 miles from my house. They have a small car show in the spring or used to. I don't know if they still do or not. You could tour where they make the wheels. I should take my car over and let them "test fit" all there new wheels for vettes. You never know, they might give me a free sample.

Looks good! 
I also like that "Old School" look.
I'm not familiar with that brand though,.......to me they look kind of like the Torque Thrust wheels. (what's the difference between the two?)
