Fresh from polish!

[valiantsurf]

Got my slot mags back from polish and I'm excited how they turned out!
14x6 fronts and 14x7 rears small bolt pattern. Now to triple check spacing and play the what size tires and what is ACTUALLY available in the ever diminishing 14 inch options.
Any suggestions always appreciated
Also any suggestions where to find center caps 5 hole on 3.5" bolt circle?

Those polished up very nice.
What car has a 3.5" bolt circle?

 

[valiantsurf]

Sorry for the confusion.. these are 5 on 4" small bolt pattern but the caps (which I don't have) thread on to the face of the rim using five tabs that are on a 3.5" Bolt circle

what company made the wheels (for locating the caps)?

 

[valiantsurf]

No name stamped in them, research suggests they might be Hendee Appliance Manufacturing Company but not sure. I have attached images of foundry mark and wheel size casting

I was just looking at a thread from Spring Fling and one of the pics was a table of center caps...

I just bought these wheels last week. I hit them with some steel wool just enough to get the oxidation off of them. I don't plan on having them polished. Gonna take some elbow grease but I think they'll be cool.

after about thirty minutes. I'll spend more time on them later.

@valiantsurf Contact AKH Wheels. That's where I found my caps

Had my 14×7 5 on 4 with 3.5 bs Indy aluminum slots powder coated 235x60/14 BFG front, 245x60/14 rear

Aluminum slots, My favorite !
American Racing makes nice aluminum center caps with or without logo.
I have used them on several different brand wheels and they fit the same.
About $20 each at Jegs or Summit. You may be able to contact them for screw hole to screw hole size.

Those look awesome powder coated black! Do you have more pictures? How do you like the BFG'S ?

I like the BFG's. They all seem to have slight issues with the white lettering but they wear well and they were the sizes that I wanted. The wheels were in rough shape and I had them blasted and powder coated to keep the maintenance down.
