This is MY new Falcon...

The wheels are very strange. Aluminum or some alloy center with Chrome steel outer, and slotted.

Holy cow, a V8 with a 4 barrel, you going to be OK?

Nice FE, But It's missing a set of doors and has 2 extra cyl.

It will be a beauty when you finish it.

Oh you just KNOW I'm gonna yank that 460 out and put back the 200 and I'm hauling out the 9" and Traction bars and 5 lug stuff to put the original 7.5" rear with the 4 lug suspension back in! These Veee-Ates are to scary for me

Here's the pic you sent me. Just got home a bit ago and saw the time. Gotta run again, headed to the cruise. Have to go tonight since i told a guy i'd be there to give him a work bench top. Been running all day burning up gas. Weird wheels, look like they were black in the center to start with.

Anyone know anything about these wheels?

Nice find FE! Glad to see another Falcon saved, specially a '66-70.5 Falcon.

I still think they look like trailer/mobile home wheels. Those bolts at the outer ends for looks or do they actually unscrew from the rim? Thats the part that makes me think trailer BUT mobile homes don't have the 5 lug part. Been searching and no luck yet!

 

[FEandGoingBroke]

That outer bolt is FAUX. It's simply chrome in a hole.

Nice find FE.... Did you find her locally? :tup:

 

[FEandGoingBroke]

Yep. About 7 miles from me.

Yep. About 7 miles from me.

Thats a Double score then! LOL congrats....

I tried finding those wheels again and no luck. The closest i found were some wheels called FUEL something and they have 6 spokes.

Now that i saw the wheels in person i saw they were faux, in fact we pulled one out, told ron to stuff them in his pockets. But we couldn't think of any good uses for them. lol

The Outer bolts are simply caps for show, but I have no clue what kind. I think they're Magnesium and not aluminum also. Too dark material to be aluminum.
