Is anybody who is close to halibrand wheels? I was looking wheels at their website many of them were "temporarily out of production" ??
Are they still in business or what ?

I tried getting ahold of them a year or two ago. Sent emails, left messages, etc. Never heard anything back. But I think I saw them with a set up at SEMA. So who knows.
I just gave up, I'm not trying that hard to spend money.
Not sure about Halbrand either but Billet Specialties makes a beautiful billet version of the classic Halibrand and www.ETWheels.com is still going strong with some great looking classic styles that are similar but a little more aggressive in various diameters.
Good luck and let us know what you find.
Try TeamIII they might have what your looking for I found them many years.
They have very similar pin drive wheels etc...

I had a set of PSE wheels on my Cobra replica and they looked great.

But now i would need something to cover ugly drums in a "old shcool" project. American racing has salt flats but i think they are not doing it at 18" ?

Good tip! Just the right wheel. I will ask do they make it bigger.

Hey man do you have any more pics of those wheels on the vette? I have been looking for good pics of those online forever but haven't found any. I am leaning towards those for my Nova project.
