We had a good discussion over this style of wheels almost two years ago. It boils down to they (centerlines or cragars) like that didn't come around until 1970.

the Cragar S/S mag was but not the Super Trick or street SS/T's. i love the drag Super Tricks and still would love a set of the skinnies for my 1:1 car, but they arent TRaK material. as much as i like Centerline Auto Drag's too, they just scream late 70's -early 80's!

very cool '49 Ford by the way!

Guys, just take a look at Dave's Deuce, will ya? Now, THAT's a Deuce Five Window. And exactly why I went into the trance and meditated for the Heads of Revell to do a stock height top! Man, that's classic.
Lots of 'em raced thru the San Jose streets in '53-'57. Most of 'em had hubcaps. Only a couple ran 'baldys' ("baby moons") but most had whitewalls...All had oversize rear tires, rakes came in in '54. (Still never saw a Deuce 5-window with skirts!)

Heavy on the "Uncle"

Gas Rhonda's '64 Thunderbolt had them too in '64 Dave

This is a good spot to drop a quick note or ask for help. If you are in a bad mood, this isn't the right spot to drop feelings. Thanks for understanding!
