    Hi all,
    looking at rims and saw the american racing vn50157034500's and wondering if anyone has run them? how nice are they? look similar to rallye wheel to me.

    Does anyone repro the 70 steelies?

    I think those wheels look great on a Chevelle or 442.

    If you want a Buick style aftermarket wheel, try these:

    I have the vn501 wheels on mine. I swapped the center caps in favor of Buick rally ones. I like the look.

    Could you post some pics? What size did you run front and back?

    I am selling these for a friend. Only had tires mounted briefly. He decided to go another direction. Beautiful white powder coat on new Wheel Vintiques 15x8s. 4in BS.
    Wheels were $135 ea and the powder coat $225. He has $495 in them but would sell for $250 a pair.

    How did you get the center cap to attach to the wheel?

    It took a little tweaking. I used a pair of large channel locks, and GENTLY squeezed the tabs, to make the diameter a little smaller. They snapped in place, snug as a bug.

    I had Cragar 510’s on my old project car. No longer made but I liked them a lot. DC61AD3D-27A4-4F8B-8F5E-28C3F69FEC8F.jpeg
