Default Halibrand wheels? Still in business??

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.

Another great source for the halibrand style wheels is Richard Oben at North Racecars
http://northracecars.com/wheelofferings.html

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

I love PSE wheels...actually i think i have had hes first set ever send in europe 9 years ago and in size 17"




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" ?
