help iding rims

[snakebite8]

its a shot in the dark but here it goes. My dad just picked up a 66 fastback. last one he had is here in the pics. That is me and my brother back in the early 80's. i am hoping someone can give me an idea on the rims that r on the car. my father believes they r American Racing Rims. rims r gold and chrome. i was hoping to find a set or a set like them for Christmas for him. he plans on doing this car a lot like the pics below.

Cragar SST wheels.

I see the all chrome ones every now and then, but the gold ones are hen's teeth.

Wow that is insane!! I remember the chrome SST but not the gold ones. Dad always wanted to put SST or American Racing Outlaws on.

 

[snakebite8]

yea i seen the 3,500 ones. wow i dont think i can dish that kind of money out like that

But it's free shipping! Ok sorry, I couldn't resist. $3500 is absurd.

May be able to find a nice chrome set, and have the centers 24K gold electroplated.

I don't know if the bolts that give it the 3 piece look are removable or not.

Just a thought.

 

[snakebite8]

Was thinking about doing that if I had to. I do know they come apart. So worst case I find a good chrome set and send them out

Contact Crager and see if they can give you some leads. I've contacted them in the past and they were helpful.

 

[snakebite8]

good idea

My bro has a set on his 67 fastback. The car is a project in waiting. I'll see if he wants to sell them.

By the way are those Firebird taillights on the Mustang?

I have some shelby 10 spoke repro's if you dont find the cragar wheels you're looking for. Hudson county so no shipping cost.

 

[snakebite8]

Cool that would be great! They r not firebird but they r in the Pontiac family. Give u two more guess! Haha I might be or know someone interest in the Shelby rims. When u get a chance send me a pic. Thank guys!

Pontiac Astre is the tail lights in the mustang. I am currently looking for a tail light panel from this car. anyone know of one sitting around?
