Thank you steve for the Wheels!

[Retson the Racer]

Just want to give a big shoutout to Steve Smith up in Norcal!
Gave me a good deal on some '35 Ford wheels!
Was an awesome guy to talk to, and even gave me a little advice on my car!
Here's what they look like, and I'm super happy!!

And so you should be. 16" wheels are not very common here. There are some but you've got to look hard to find somebody prepared to sell. I suspect it's because in 1935, new car sales were still pretty poor because of the depression.

Ford 16" wheels are pretty easy to come by here...these can be tough

Well not from where I'm at. In SoCal, it's like finding a needle in a haystack, let alone finding a set for a reasonable price..

Manufacturing 16" wires must have been a BIG BUSINESS, to supply Model A needs & for TRAILERS/ETC! NOBODY wanted to use those UGLIES that came out in '36!!!

I bought two on one deal,3 on another,gotta touch up the lug holes on one of them.Prices are all over the place on them,cheap as 90 bucks a piece,as high as 250...Finding loose ones is key,a set drives the price

At $250 I would get brand new ones made at Wheelsmith.

Be sure to get the 1932-34 hubcaps with the Ford script. They look even better with a little blue paint in the script.

It does get expensive...Kelsey Hayes sounds better than Wheelsmith, very important when your bragging about all the money you spend foolishly

LOL, even the driver in your avatar thinks that is funny.

Definitely! I plan on keeping the patina for a few years, I want to remove the metal sometime this spring and have a new sport coupe top installed.

Wow thanks for the shoutout Retson. Glad to help keep her on the street.
