Hi guys/gals!Am ready to purchase wheels/tires for my 35 3-Window.Want to purchase vintage type steel wheels/trim rings/caps/wide whites.Just wondering who among you out there have had good/bad experiences with the various suppliers.Any info will be a big help!!Let me hear the good and the bad,I would like to get this right the first time!!!THAAAANKS!!

I'd start with www.petepaulsen.com . "The Original House of Wheels" ... and that ain't just an advertising ploy. Pete was THE guy that cut the center out of a wheel , welded it in backwards and sent it out to be chromed ... late 50's / early 60's. The INVENTOR of the chromed reversed wheel ... still in the biz today. AND will "make" almost anything you want (Ford bolt pattern / "corvette style" rallyes). My 4 "corvette" style rallyes / 15 x 8 x 6 lug(truck) / "raw" /trim rings / caps - DELIVERED = less than $350.00.
P.S. : I asked my tire guy to spin balance the wheels , before tires , just for grins ... after two , he said we're waisting our time here ... wasn't worth the weight/wait.
My $.05 - couldn't find any pennies , keep the change.

40, i agree with RTC66Fleet 100%. No need for you to waste any more of your time. Looks like Richard and i have done the shopping around for ya on this one. Pete Paulsen is the Man! I finally stumbled on Him while looking for ralye wheels for my 38 chevy coupe. I needed a special offset and 4-1/2\" bolt circle to fit my lincoln disc brake 9\" rear and he fixed me right up at the right price. Fit right into the \'lo-buc-rod\' budget!

THANX , Mike ... I was beginng to think I was the only person that\'s ever heard of this guy !

THANKS GUYS!!I think that will solve the wheel problem but still would like a little input on the tire situation,want to run nostalgia type wide whites but am sort of confused by the big differances in price!I have ran Coker tires on a couple of restored cars but haven't tried there radials.Seems like they get an extra dime just for the name perhaps??Also want to run 40 trim rings and caps,Any suggestions??Look forward to your input!!THANKS AGAIN!!

Daryle ,
You've probably been to the site by now ...What I might suggest is to order the catalog from Paulsen. It's got three times the stuff the site shows. Center caps / trim rings galore. And if you call ? ... Pete will probably answer the phone and could surely suggest a tire company.
40 rings/caps ? Police Caps ? Pete's got quite a few to choose from. Plain , Logo'ed , ribbed , etc.

Thanks For All The Help!!! Turns out Pete is really "THE MAN". Very helpfull,well informed,and Friendly!!That goes a long way with me! Also turns out he had the answer to my tire questions as well,he just added a line of tires to his inventory!Just thought I'd pass this info along in case someone is looking for tires,they'd have to go a long ways to find a better informed guy to talk to!!Looks like I owe you guys another one! Have a GREAT CHRISTMAS and Thanks Again!!

any pictures of your '35?

Will send one along!!
