Halibrand wheels
In the early 90's Halibrand made a cast aluminum one piece wheel for the C4, in 17 inch.
It looked like the mid 60's wheel with small kidney slots and stiffener ribs used on 60's sportscars.
I'm interested in obtaining some, and if you have pictures of a set on your car, please post them here. If you know of someone that has some let me know. Thanks (I also posted this in the C4 tech forum)

Re: Halibrand wheels (FastC4)
I've been in the streetrod hobby since 1990 and have run Halibrand wheels on my cars. 16" was the largest size available till the late '90's. The Kidney Bean wheel has just been introduced in the last year or so and it is now available in 17" or 18".

Re: Halibrand wheels (FastC4)
I've seen some new Edlebrock wheels that kinda look like the Halis. I'm not sure that they are available in 17" sizes though.

Re: Halibrand wheels (flynhi)
Halibrand is in Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings at the moment. flynhi is right about PS Engineering being the best place to get Kidney Bean wheels. PSE does a lot of casting work for Halibrand and their prices are cheaper,too.
