I know I've seen more cars running them, but this seems to be the only picture I have of one. I think these are 15X8 since he was running NCCC 1C class.

I think my dad has two sets of Ansen 15X10 that will be used for racing when we get our RP car done. We are planing to build a car similar to the penske grand sport roadster. We've got the frame and most of the body, but need a lot more stuff before we start.

I like that look,..very retro. Plus those wheels were usually very lightweight.

I have always loved those wheels. I ran them on my 67 Chevelle in high school.

On the red car I think they were 15X10 all the way around.

The two most popular from back in the day were Ansen Sprints (still available from American Racing) and ET. There were a couple other brands as well.

The new wheels do not have the same rim lips like the old school wheels. Try to find some vintage wheels and polish them up. They will look mush better than the new wheels of today.
