I have seen them advertised before. I also think I have seen a few 67-72's sporting them in a few pics if I remember correctly. Looks pretty good. Like to see a few members with these post some pics if anyone has them.

These are actually a steel wheel.
Most of the board members that have a similar designed wheel, use an aluminum Centerline Smoothie wheel with a painted center.

I would think these steel wheels would be very heavy.

These are perfect for my Suburban project. Thanks for posting. I'm giving them a call tomorrow.

Yeah, I have seen those too. I wasn't referring to just on this board. I seen a truck with these listed on CL. I agree though, they probably do weigh quite a bit.

I've been told $980 for a set of 20s

I was thinking about doing something like this. This one is a 20 inch dodge ram steel wheel. Of corse one would have to re-drill to our 5x5 pattern or run adapters.

Re: 18" and 20" steel wheels?

Re: 18" and 20" steel wheels?
 
Just got off the phone with Adam at Mobsteel. They arre currently offering them in 20x9 and will soon be making them in 8s and 10s. He said they can accomodate any backspacing and they are tooled to make the as wide as 14" in up to 22" diameter in the future. They have passed SAE wheel testing standards and weigh 46lbs for a 20x9 wheel, 50lbs packaged shipping weight. They are currently selling direct only but will be looking at distributors soon so with distributors price goes up.
I mentioned our truck market and this forum and some of our wacky desire for 20 steelies. I will be sending him a link to this thread and suggested he become a vendor and answer some questions on here. Adam is a real nice guy and very helpfull answering all of my questions. You can email him at adam@mobsteel.

Would love to see some in an artillery style like whats on there banner!

Number98 10-10-2012 04:51 PM

Re: 18" and 20" steel wheels?
 
I sent these guys an email this morning about these and I got a really quick reply today.

Here is what they sent me:

We can do custom backspace, and it accepts standard 7.5 snap in style center caps. you can do baby moon, bullets, spiders, rallies, whatever. we do have those available also.


In stock right now:
20x9 and 20x8 are $220 each raw and plus $25 per wheel powder coated your color choice. We can get them chrome plated if you like its $100 per wheel

We will be running more sizes in the future, we have tooled up for 18 and half of the tooling id done for 22". We are working on trim rings, artillery style wheels etc.. all of this is in our master plan but i have no dates yet or have not had any of these to testing yet. Most likely we will be moving the stock we have in the 20" for some time.

Thanks again, I will have a flyer done soon and up for you to check out

Now if only they can drill some at 6lug for me...These wheels would look bad on a dropped C10.

Anyone have them installed? Pics please

I thought the site said that they could drill for 5 and 6 lug patterns.

So they do have the 20x8 available now, I must have misunderstood when he said they were doing the 8s next. Sweeeet! I am going to keep the wheels I have for my truck but will definitely get some of these for my 59 wagon and run the 59 car poverty caps. I cant wait :metal: Probably go with white like the old Buick? picd. They will look sweet I think! Anyone order some yet?

I haven't, yet. I had a wheel already in mind, but will see how soon they'll make 10" widths. I'll wait another month or two.

Re: 18" and 20" steel wheels?
 
Im thinkin a 22x14 steelie on the rear of a C10 would be killer! especially without spending $1000++ per wheel. still have to pay for those tires though:lol:

LEX 10-12-2012 09:02 AM

Re: 18" and 20" steel wheels?
 
Those suckers would probably weigh at least 70-80lbs each.

Thats a pretty clean looking 2 door brookwood wagon. A friend of mine is building one for a customer that is going to be insane when its done but it was a heck of a lot rougher than your car.

Not that I'm aware of, but it's getting built pro touring style. Got 20"/22" fesler wheel on airide shockwaves and a Tom of metal fab to fit and adapt the twin turbo 565 big block. Needless to say it's a crap yon of money and gonna be sweet when it's done.
