Thanks!
Centerline "Nomad". They only made them for a short time - I guess they weren't that popular.
I liked them because they had a lot of 'back in the day' slot mag look but updated a bit. Another thing I liked about them was they were cold-forged rather than cast. I was surprised at how light they were when I got them.
They also don't have so many details on them to make them difficult/time-consuming to keep polished.
Funny thing - when I finally took them all out of their boxes and went to have the tires mounted I found one of the wheels didn't have the valve stem hole machined in it. Centerline was still located in SoCal back then so I took it to the factory and said, "Notice anything missing?"
They fixed it on the spot while I waited.
Here's a better pic...

Thanx, not into shiny chrome or polished look and (1st pic) someone sprayed them a weird color or it's from age.

That first look is a pretty good imitation of a dow-7 coated real magnesium wheel. Gold-ish, with a green tint. Thats what a real Halibrand with dow-7 looks like.

I know this is an old post, but can anyone tell me what wheels these are? I really like them and think they would look great on my Hemi Orange Demon.

Just guessing here....
they could be either forgestar F14 Drag, or Weld Racing GT-S Miramar.
The forgestars look to cost about a 1/3 of the Welds
Could also be TSW nurburgring.

Found this thread - LBP upgrade for 18" wheel conversion

Looks like Mustang wheels from American Muscle. No specs or anything though.

He has been on in the last couple of weeks so maybe he will respond.

Thanks Gentlemen, much apprciated.
Looking for ideas for my 71 Demon. Need some BBP rear axles so i can get new wheels and tire this season.
Only difference i will have is running drum brakes in the rear.
 
My Ebody with 18x10 Rittlers in the back and 17x8 in the front. My Duster with cop car wheels 15x7 in the front and 15x8 in the rear.

I realize that this post is several years old now...but what are those Dunlops? I suspect they're ancient but they look like a performance oriented tire in our kind of aspect ratio with raised white letters and a modern tread pattern.

I would gladly try out if they were still available.

EDIT: Just found this (out of stock) listing in a search...

I bought them 2 years ago from Ebay. I'm not sure if they're still available but I really like the looks of them. Don't have many miles on them as the car is laid up for a little while now. Awesome price as well and I dig the raised white letters.

I hope they work out for you. Please keep us posted. It appears that they are way out of production so be careful. As you probably know, tires do weaken/fail with age. They could be fine but generally speaking, tires are done at the ~10 year mark regardless of wear. Just a rule of thumb. The manufacture date should be on there somewhere...I'm going to guess that they're more than ten years old.

I'm very familiar with DOT dates. I checked the dates on them when I unwrapped them and they were only a few months old. Working for Harley we never sold and mounted tires older than 5 years old. We would sell them but not mount them. I worked for 4 different dealerships (2 in Nevada, 1 in Az. and 1 in NJ and that was their policy.
 
Wow...and you say you got them only a couple years ago? This is intriguing!
Again, please keep us posted. :D
 
New 15x10 billet specialties wheels on my duster. Just waiting for the fronts to show up to finish the look.

Bogart Dragonfly III's. I bought these in 2005 for my B-body. I had them bead-locked this year, for Krusty. I've since polished the fronts...
