stakeside Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Would like to purchase 20" rims for my 29 DB truck. These are split ring rims. I have all 4 iron wheel center portion. The triangles are on the spokes.These were an optional wheel for my 3/4 ton truck and are more durable than the wood spokes. I have all dimensions to verify. Any leads are appreciated.

Bob Scafani Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Mike French used 1930's Ford 1-1/2 ton steel wheels. They are plentiful and value priced. He drilled out the rivets to remove the centers, welded up the holes and they bolt right on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good option, but he had to have the mounting clips (6 per tire) made. I guess he had a pattern and may have ended up forging or casting them.There may be some parts trucks available.

Bob Scafani Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 you could use these wheels if you has victory six front and rear ends with wire wheel hubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stakeside Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 you could use these wheels if you has victory six front and rear ends with wire wheel hubs.This is a 1927 3/4 ton DB I believe. It has the solid disc rims. Note the bolt pattern is 5 lug. My brake drum for the iron spoke wheel is a 6 lug.[ATTACH=CONFIG]308462[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]308463[/ATTACH] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stakeside Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) Still looking for rims. I was able to modify Ford Model AA rims but still need additional rims. Final produce was well worth the work. This good match yellow for the rims and will be used for belt line accent also.
