Hey guys, our CAD drawings are just about complete on our Alcoa replica wheels. Right now we are having front standard steers, rear and trailer duals, and a rear super single done, and production is only days away. Following these three designs will be the front super single. Duals will all be a 2 piece wheel, with center cap and lug bolts and 10 round holes, round holes will be of accurate size- not these ones that are way too big. We are trying to figure out lug bolt quantity right now, and 8 or 10 bolts is going to be standard depending on cost- but rest assured 8 and 10 lugs are both commonly used in the 1/1 world so accuracy is still being met. All of our own wheel designs will be as accurate as possible, using 10 round holes, and offsets will also be accurate.

What I need to know from you guys, is would you rather have a nice stainless steel lug bolt, or a black oxide one? I know black oxide is more realistic to 1/1, however with a lug nut cover your now closer to the stainless. So let me know so we can get lug bolts ordered.

It's a whole lot easier to paint the stainless ones than to polish black oxide.

Any updates on these?? I really would like to see an authentic 10 hole 10 bolt Alcoa wheel.

Bump!

How about making old school 5 hand hole styles too? Really not much different in design, just half as many holes(justs a touch larger in diameter). It would look really good on a 50's style truck.

OK.. Call me stupid.. 5 hand hole ?? what are they ?? Ring rims ???
Do you have any picture of them Larr

Have to do some dig'n on Hanks site probably. They are the early Alcoa's, mostly were split rims back in the day(late 50's-early 60's) that had only 5 larger holes around instead of the later 10 small holes.

Hi,

Do you have any release date and price for those wheels ?
