Modern Bullitt build

[crj1968]

Um...I want some rims like that.   

Heck I'd be totally happy with those hubcaps in 15"   

[JB400]

    Those wheels are going to look awesome

[WHITE AND RED 69]

Wheels look sweet!

Is the area in between the spokes going to have black inserts or just leave them open?

[bsakal]

I would buy those wheels if they were available.

[J-440]

 Yeah the black inserts...I would add them but make them slotted as it would possibly cool the brakes? Dam great idea.  I'm surprised none of the experts (the old farts) thought of this idea before!!

[VegasCharger]

Awesome!!!
You're onto to something there.
This wheel could be a huge success if it hit the market.
Would you get some credit for it?
Royalties?

I know that you're focused on your project but you may have hit it out of the park with that design.
I would put these on my 68, 15x10 on the back and 15x8 on the front and ditch the Cragars.

Can't wait to follow this one!

I'm not sure yet as we are still working on the fine details. I think I like the black outline as it will hide the brake dust.
Thank You!

Pat, you think its possible that these wheel could be avail to others?
I mean I know you are doing a one of a kind thing here, but dang those are cool.

I'm sure they would love to make more of these wheels, the problem is the pricing as they are very expensive. I hope to have more information and a few more drawings in another week. The more I look at the renderings more excited I get about this set of wheels. After I iron out some of the small details I am told it will be about five weeks to get the wheels made. This is like the cart before the horse as its way early in this project to need the wheels and tires But I think I'll have to get these wheels on order real soon before somebody else have them made first.
Thank you,
Pat

[crj1968]

Yeah, well it won't be me getting them made first.  I'm broke!

Cool concept and interesting take on modernizing the wheels!

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

I like the concept of the wheels but Im still trying to envision where the white will be painted on the rim to simulate the white wall?

Also the Fratzog....Licencing?

We are still working on the white walls, but may abandon doing the white walls on the wheels and look into tire with a small white wall? Also we will look to move the black line further out on the rim with the next renderings. As for the Licensing of the Fratzog (Dodge logo in the center of the cap) we are looking into using the Fratzog from the hubcap as it is bolted on if we can find good use or NOS ones? If not and we make our own then they will just be a little different than the originals ;-)
Thanks

I have been trying to restore the parts as I remove them instead of at the end of the project. The left side vent box is the last item I did and it cleaned up nicely. Here are a few before and after pictures.
Thanks!
Pat

[crj1968]

nice. Hey that 3rd picture looks just like mine.   

[keepat]

Received a few more wheel drawing with the logo upright and the black around the cut outs removed. Next drawings will have the extra material remove that was black as I think it may look better??


This is the front wheel 17x9 with a 5 ½" back space





And this is the back wheel 17x11 with a 6 ½" back space
Thanks

Pat, I was also thinking that before regarding the whitewall. Have you looked into Diamondback tires for a thin white stripe tire? That would look great combined with those wheels. A wider whitewall stripe may give the tires a more rubber band appearance, you think?

Bill,
I agree a ¼" whitewall tire would give it the right look, but I think finding a 335-35 for the rear with a whitewall is the problem? Diamondback have a 315-35 that could be a good compromise??
Thanks

Could be. Might be a little "short" though.
Diamondback will also put a whitewall on any tire as well.

This is the final design of the wheel and the order is in! No black in the openings and the openings are larger. I should see them in 6 to 8 weeks.
Thanks!
Pat

[Bob T]

That will look quite striking, nice one Pat. 

Maybe one of the gurus here could do a photoshop rendering on a black car 

[WHITE AND RED 69]

I was diggin the black accents...but it is still a great looking wheel.

Yeah I like the black accents as well, but in the end I really like the larger openings. I think the black in the hubcap was to represent the drum brakes in the allusion of a mag wheel, That's why ultimately left it off.
Thanks
