Re: Old Stockers
The MotorWheel Flys were probably the coolest wheels of the era.
I had a set of MotorWheel magnesium Flea front wheels on my Modified Production Javelin. We used to get out the Simichrome and polish them every Friday night before the races,and by Sunday afternoon they were turning gold with oxidation ! Sold them to Al Corda years ago ,probably the only race car part I ever regretted selling. |
Re: Old Stockers
I like the Fenton Sharks but nothing tops the Cragar SS wheels. I've always said that they even make a Studebaker look good!

Re: Old Stockers
a bit of trivia here. the man who owned fenton was a good friend of the man who owned cragar . fenton was falling on hard times in the early 70's. so the cragar co. allowed the fenton co. to make exact copies of the cragar S/S wheel. and sell them as fentons. this helped the bottom line. a bit later fenton made a wheel like the cragar supertrick wheel, except they were one piece and street legal. the box came with a bag of nuts and bolts. i sold a lot of those, they were the coolest street wheel around. all the old guys like lou senter [ansen] are gone now.
