www.americanrebelmfg.com Juan Hernandez is the owner and he builds and stocks the wheels in So Cal...very reasonably priced too.
I ordered them last week and he shipped them on Thursday,I received them yesterday...how's that for custom wheels?

Custom made Duval-style by the builder/owner who passed away last year and the car just fell in my lap...it's made from billet stock and I had the glass tinted...here's some better shots:

Yeah those work. I have almost the identical wheel on my '29 in polished. They're timeless. Great choice.

Will keep them and switch them back on at times to change the look but my best guess is these will see most of the action...

Me too,lol...!

Dave from Andy's Tire & Wheel called me today to say he had some tires for me so I cancelled my plans for tomorrow and am driving up to SSF with my wheels to have them M&B them.
If I stayed on my original schedule,I would have just been thinking about them all day so I decided this was the better plan.

Dave's also going to call Dave @ Brizio's shop (which is about 10 minutes away) for a walk-through shop tour...so I can see the kinda stuff Weld can afford,lol!

Stay tuned for pictures guys...hopefully by this time tomorrow.:secret:

Well what a day...first stopped at Andy's Wheels & Tires to get the rubber mounted,the building they're in was home of the original Champion speed shop so lots of cool pics and history there.

After that,we took a quick trip over to Roy Brizio's shop to drool over the neat cars and past by Gotelli's speed shop...so you just know there was a lot of history in this area back in the day.

I tried dropping Weld's name but they about threw me out.
