Good day fellows,
I am looking for a set of five 18" wheel rims for a '32 Pickup. Where is the best place to source these please?
Regards

The first thing you need to check is shipping. It may be high enough to kill your interest. To the best of my knowledge these wheel rims have never been reproduced (and I never think much of reproductions anyway). Good luck.

There are often on EBAY or you can check with the Vintage Ford parts stores.Maybe on the East coast would be less of a shipping charge.Just make sure that they spin true or you are wasting your money.

Put a "wanted" ad on HAMB and hope to find someone making a hot rod out of a restoration. Once you find a set put a post here that you need someone to check out some wheels. I know a shop in the Los Angeles California area that will spin and check out wire wheels.

Great advice chaps, thanks very much. I may well take you up on your offer to check them out if we can find some.

"Chaps"' love it! Try Tony Martino on this site. He's a real wheeler dealer.
