Looking for Vintage Racing Wheel
I'm looking for a vintage racing wheel that I used to own, but never knew the name of them. I can only describe them as I don't have any pics of them. If anyone has a name or an idea in regards to what I'm talking about please help.
Description: The outer wheel was chrome steel and the centers were magnesium I think with oval slots in them. The oval slot insides were black. Some I have asked in the past told me they were Chrysler or Ford racing rims. I know that isn't much info, but any feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks Manny

Re: Looking for Vintage Racing Wheel
Thanks everyone. Those are the wheels. Now I just need to find the 15x4s I gave away for nothing back in the early 90's. Who knew the nostalgia craz would take off.

Re: Looking for Vintage Racing Wheel
Most people if they ran these Motor Wheel Spyders on the rear ran the Flys on the front. They were a five spoke and very light.

Back in the days I was told that Fly's did not like much lateral stress.

Eddie Schartman had a set on his 1970 Boss 429 Cougar Pro Stocker - very pretty wheel!
