If they were knock off I would be interested...

Dave Crace · #3 (**permalink**) 08-14-2005, 08:39 PM

Well, they look like knock-offs, and they were used on the originals as seen in Freidmans book

I considerd those originally but decided to go with Kidneys. Who knows I may end up with 5 sets of wheels before I'm happy

Good luck, I'm sure some one will snag them up at that price!

Dave;
Who makes the spinners? All the ones for the D's that I've seen were smaller.

What is the bolt pattern?

How much for the spinners alone (have AR Kidney Bean w/o spinners)?

Dave Crace · #9 (**permalink**) 08-15-2005, 01:23 PM

I ordered the spinners from a guy in North Carolina. I don't have the name handy here at work, but they cost about $400 and are billet aluminum. I will have to see if they sell with the wheels first.

Joe, I will have to get back to you about the bolt spacing.

Backspacing is 3.75" front and rear per ERA website.

New set of spinners are $500+, so, if I were you I would not sell them for much less, i.e., if I needed another set of wheels, it'd be a great deal to buy yours for the price and get the spinners too.

Think the backspacing is 4 3/4 and the offset is different for the front & rear but can't remember the numbers.

Are these still for sale and if so what would shipping be to N.Y.? Would like to take the kidney beans of my slabside Aurora and add the thrust D for that early Shelby racecar look.

Thanks,

Dale

Possibly still for sale. A local board member is interested, but we are having a hard time making contact. I am not sure what shipping would cost. I will check with UPS.

Thanks,
Dave

Dave,

What a class act you are!

Thanks again,
